Drop pass on breakaway gets player waived


In a move that baffled most viewers and Pens fans, Chris Minard came in 1-on-1 against the Islander goaltender Wednesday night. Instead of making a move, a deke, or taking a shot...Minard decided a drop pass would be the best option. The defender one stride behind him broke up the play by simply being in the way. A day later, Minard was waived.

I guess that one play could sum up our season. And my partner here at EC had a very insightful revelation relating to this passing phenomena going around the Pens organization. The reason the Penguins ALWAYS lose when it goes to a shootout...

Our SO skaters get confused because they have no one to pass the puck to.

Chris Kunitz, ladies and gentlemen...
