The Pens lost to the Vancouver Canucks this past Saturday 3-1. The game started interesting enough with 3 little skirmishes, some fights, about 25 seconds into the game. However, Matt Cooke was ejected from the game for a second fight and therefore could not play a game he said would be filled with a little more emotion due to the fact that he was once a Canuck. The fights did not seem to get either team going. Another thing that did not get going for the Pens was the power play. The power play that has gone 1 for 12 the past 3 games. Therrien is calling the power play a small concern right now and he says we get no energy from a power play. If the Pens look to win more games they will have to focus more on better power plays and also not resting on the fact that they have come from behind to win many games. Perhaps the Pens were thinking that this Saturday, but this time, they could not manage a comeback to force a win or even overtime.
Saturday's game also saw Luongo, the Canucks captain and starting goalie, go down with an injury.
