Taking nights off should never be a part of Sids repertoire. Thats why he is the best on the planet.
To me he looks like a guy playing afraid. He missed alot of really easy passes last night (both delivering them and receiving them), and every time he would take the puck across the blue line he would just hold up for support that never came. I understand that passing is a big part of his game, but with the number of times Crosby got the puck with speed 1-on-1 at the blue line and didnt even attempt to drive the net with it...its...worrisome. Going hard to the net has to be a part of his game, it<s what gives him the space when he pulls up to make the pass.
Anyways, might just have been an off night (as I said, I havent been able to watch regularly), but he definitely looked afriad or injured. I didnt like what I saw. I do like Malkins game though.
I panned the move when they picked him up...but the sharks actually got through a round in the playoffs and have a fighting chance at beating LA (though I hope it doesnt happen)...so despite that questionable pickup + having gomez in the rotation...the sharks are finding ways to get it done. Im sort of impressed.
I agree with the Karlsson statement. Last night he was absolutely shameless about it.
Crosby just doesnt look right. I havent been hanging around here much and havent gotten to see a whole lot of hockey lately...but anyone know what the issue is? He just doenst want to take the puck to the net.
the rags just dont match up against the bruins. I see the bruins taking this easily. the penguins better find a goalie that can stop the puck, because when the bruins are on they can score...every single shot looks like an adventure for Vokoun. That game winner last night never shoulda happened...
nobody does, just like nobody knows that Careys problem is his knee (rumor goes that it's his groin). I play hockey on wednesdays with someone that has intimate knowledge of that sort of things...so I leave it to you to guess what his job is...
Prust has broken ribs and Price's injury is his knee, not his groin (as goes the theory), not clear yet whether he will need surgery or not, but it looks like Price's season is over no matter what. You can't win only 1 of 3 games that you badly outplay your opponent. I'm gonna hope for the Habs, but it won't bother me to see them bow out.
Horrible pass, bad, result. Hockey's a violent game and sometimes hits go wrong. You can see immediately after the hit that gryba tries to skate over to him because he was disapointed that his hit had those consequences. I havent had the chance to,get a really good replay (been too busy Nd havent caughr a minite of either game, just watched a video of it now for first time and view wasnt great)...but based on what I saw, no games, one game, two games is,all fine. Im not offended by what I saw.
didn't see enough of the game to say if it was really a bounce or two away, but that horrible crossbar leading to a goal at the other end of the ice was pretty awful. the ference elbow was nasty and should warrant a few games. reimer let in a sooooooftie from the blue line.
reimer's been very good, this isnt the time for him to forget how to play.
caught like 2 mins of the game, tuned in just as JVR rung it off the iron and the Bruins came down and scored....what horrible luck. Also, what a horrible choice to 'play the body' when the puck was just sitting there.

Had to turn down front row seats to game one...woulda seen this hit live....
