Correct on both counts-- Crosby's rookie year he finished the year with Andy Hilbert and Colby Armstrong as his wingers. He had Malone (his rookie year as well) and a good player in Aleksey Morozov..and that's it. They gutted the team in 2002 and were playing with guys like Dan Focht and Landon Wilson, or after the lockout, 40 games of Ziggy Palffy before he got out of Dodge. Recchi was pretty vocal of his unhappiness. To a lesser extent, Leclair did the same. Rumor was some of the vets looked down upon the way some of the youngsters (Crosby leading that pack) wanted to work hard, extra practices, etc, that the vets felt they could do without. Pretty strong rumors of Crosby and Recchi butting heads. Quote:
I believe it is 1 game in the finals, or 40+ games during the regular season. So Datsyuk would be safe...but so is Eric Godard

Max Talbot is one of my favorite players. Good to see him start this game well.

Every bounce that creates a scoring chance the Wings bury it.

Yeah, i got $250 a piece. Plus, I've been bad luck this playoff run so far, 0-2, and they don't need my help. I'm holding out for game 6, when they'll be up 3-2 Insanely bad officiating all around the first 12 mins or so. How do you miss 6 guys on the ice for that long? The Wings PP when Filppula just randomly runs into Craig Adams when there is no one else within 20 feet of them, and the puck is 30 feet away. If the reasoning has been the D skating backwards has as much right to the ice as the puck pursuer on a dump in, WHAT THE FUCK was that!? Call on Orpik was pretty poor, Gonchar is pinning I think Zetterberg to the ice right next to them, and that's nothing...Orpik bumps Cleary who happens to be off balance, it's a call. But then they make it up by calling Cleary for holding later for putting his hand on Eaton on a dump in. While I agree that should be called, it hasn't been for 2 games, or the prior 15 mins of the 1st period, but that one time is a penalty.

Crosby was God awful on Zetterbergs goal. He watch the puck come around the boards, picked up by Leino, who takes it to the net...Crosby still standing in the same spot behind the net.

With the Wings out shooting the Pens around 2-1, if the Pens pull this off, it's a huge steal.

But consistently poor, which is a good thing. Or at least better than inconsistently poor. Consistently good > consistently poor > inconsistently good > inconsistently poor I think that's right

I think so, but what is inconsistently good? All penalties called are good, but miss other ones?

I guess inconsistently good would be most calls made correctly, but then 3rd period/OT whistles are put away. That's better than inconsistently applied calls through all 3 (or more) periods. I think.

Looks like the Wings decided to take this period off. Can't be too encouraging for the Pens knowing their goalie is going to have to save them though.

So, after 2 games and 2 1/2 periods, they make the interference call. Again, to me, that is a penalty, that's what they wanted to eliminate after the lockout. But, now guys have been playing 170 minutes one way, and now it's different.
Also, is VS really showing 30 mins of whatever this shit is, before going to the postgame show?

Heh...I actually thought it, too, but then I'm a Ducks fan, so people just dismiss my opinions on them.

Wow Kuntiz better watch, he might get whiplash from whipping his head back like that...the pens training staff might want to check his reaction time...he might have a concussion.

Monster 2nd period for the Pens should all, but seal this up. Back-to-back penalties and the Pens still score and get 3 total in the 2nd. So far the team with the most shots may end up 0-4. It's like the goalies feed off the home crowd.

So wasn't Draper dressing to give the Wings another option to match up as a defensive center vs Crosby/Malkin? 5 mins thru 2 periods.

Non-playoffs, but haven't seen mention of the Avs move yet.
NHL 4th liner - turned minor league coach - turned NHL coach: Joe Sacco This has worked out pretty well for Pittsburgh so far.

Wow, Joe Sacco! There's a name from the past. How did I miss that? Don't know enough about his coaching acumen to say if it's a good move for the Avs, but for Sacco, I'll give the former longtime Duck a thumbs up and a good luck.

There is a little known league bylaw that every NHL coach must be a former Maple Leafs fourth liner.

What a bunch of bullshit.
Star Cam?? Yet they only are following Crosby and Malkin. Damn, I haven't been a big believer in the "Pens Must Win for the NHL" conspiracy theory, but I'll be damned if shit like that doesn't fuel the fire. Shit, I guess that even though Zetterberg and Datsyuk are as good or better overall than Crosby and Malkin, they aren't "stars". That rubs me the wrong way.

Outstanding game all-around so far by the Wings, and it looks like some of the Pens are starting to lose their cool. I just hope the refs don't let things get out of hand late. Let's hope the NHL stays true to its "no message sending" stance.
Dats may not be skating 100%, but damn it's still good to have that guy back...his stick work is amazing sometimes.

If Detroit couldn't have been here, I would've loved to see Anaheim vs Pittsburgh. I would love to see Crosby, Malkin and Kunitz try and act like tough guys vs them.
Oh wait, that wouldn't happen. |

Yeah, Bettman getting all those fake PPs to Pittsburgh is really hard to swallow. Not saying these aren't valid penalty calls on Pittsburgh, but the conspiracy bullshit? Really? Why are the Pens down 5-0 then? The refs revolting against that tyrant Bettman?

And the more I see Crosby, the more I think he should have an 'A' on his jersey, not a 'C'.
