The rooks take the ice again tonight in what will be the championship game against the Senators. In net for the Pens will be John Curry, who sealed himself a victory against the Panthers on Saturday night. Curry stopped 27 of the 30 shots faced.
It'll be interesting to see which of these two prospects, John Curry or David Brown, really try and step it up for the Penguins rookie circuit. I'd imagine both will want to find a spot on the Wilks-Barre team, but will again be in competition with one another for a backup role behind Ty Conklin.
Ironically enough, both goalies gave up 3 goals in their two appearances, and all three of those goals came in the first period. Brown however, is the only one of the two to give up a goal on the first shot he faced.
From where I stand, I guess I would be a bit leniant on these guys. Heck, you pluck two kids out of college and put them in a net you'd have to expect their nerves to be a bit on edge. No doubt improvements will have to be made on the ice, but the experience they get by routinely stepping on the ice will also attribute to their emotional control.
More to come tomorrow; hopefully good news of a victory.
