Crosby was a man possessed today

 

[Dying Alive]

+ They won
- They looked like **** doing it

+++ Sid
++ Kunitz
+ Murray

Everyone else gets an = or -

 

[Ray Shero*]

Really undeserved win.

We need to tighten up defensively unless we expect Crosby to put the whole damn roster on his back every damn shift.

If we had lost I think the series would have been over honestly, they would've had too much momentum heading into game 4.

 

[Til the End of Time]

once again the usual suspects of letang and fleury suck when it matters. cant believe how bad those two are. and there is absolutely no reason to think they will improve either.

and the rest of the team might be losers, but crosby certainly is not.

 

[Beau Knows]

Everyone other than Crosby needs to pull their heads out of their *****, awful game.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Lucked out today.

Hopefully things change on tuesday

 

[zero8771]

+++++ Crosby
+ Malkin - less turnovers, a few nice passes
+ Adams - Hussled hard
+ Jokinen - Won a few key faceoffs, played shutdown when it was clear Sutter couldnt
+ Martin - Quietly had a much improved game from Game 2
+ Murray - All that is man
+ Kunitz - Big goal but some bonehead turnovers too


- Letang - Loved the physicality but come on, tons of bonehead plays
- Morrow - Love this guy but thought he made a few bad plays and looked slower today
---- Sutter - Come on man
----- Nisky/Depres - Awful

 

[pensfan71]

+Sid has risen

 

[sniugneP]

Huge win today. We need Orpik back badly. Despres was awful and didn't play 3rd and OT.

 

[Phenom97]

+Sid
+Win
-Everyone and Everything else.

NY fans should chant more hate because it just fires him up.

The media didn't want that penalty called because it's the east coast media thing... they wanted NY to win.

 

[Fordy]

All in all a **** game. DB is an awful coach and he's been exposed once again. Crosby singlehandedly won the whole thing.

Gotta get out of this series. The Isles are just poison to the Pens.

 

[billybudd]

Ya know... I love getting ****ing infractions for calling out the "Team Leader" when he's feeding the damn idiots...

Don't bother with it. Not gonna win that battle. Put whoever it is on ignore. Spare yourself the frustration.

Fleury played fine

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

+ PP: 3-5
- PP: for one of the worst powerplays I've ever seen with a 2-goal-lead, followed by Okposo's shorty. The low point in a pretty ****ty game.

 

[Sivek]

Only good that came from this was Sid and the W.

I don't expect any changes to occur, personnel and schematically, for Game 4. Pens are going to have to win 2 more like this.

I hope Vokoun starts but I doubt it's going to happen. It's the one easy switch that can provide some sort spark to the team and get them playing not so stupidly.

 

[Skillzz]

+Sid
+ney
+Cros
+by

 

[bambamcam4ever]

+ Crosby: He pretty much won the game singlehandedly
+ Cooke: One of the few forwards who actually skated hard and sustained time in the offensive zone
Half + Murray: Had a good game but the Pens still have a hard time getting the puck from NYI when he is on the ice
- Everyone else
--- Eaton: Let the Islanders waltz into the zone every rush.

 

[BigBenSF*]

Undeserved win.

I hate that I had zero confidence in Fleury coming into that OT period.

Malkin looked really sloppy, but had great flashes (pass to Murray). I still think he's hurt.

Niskanen is baaaaaaad.

Crosby city

 

[MonsterSurge]

+ Crosby
+ Murray

= Kunitz

- Everyone else
-------- Niskanen/Letang

 

[PartyatMarios]

SLOW, SLOWER, AND SLOWEST. THat is what I learned from this game. Pens are standing and watching too much. Thought Cooke played like a game 7. Where is the hitting from our side?

TFK and Vitale in

Glass and Bennett out

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Is there a stream to watch the postgame interviews?

 

[Sideline]

+Crosby, Kunitz, Dupuis, Murray and Eaton.

= Fleury.

-Despres, Morrow, and Letang.

 

[Iffyiffiffer]

-Iginla
+Nabokov sucking
-Jokinen's ice time
-only 33 hits. we hit the bruins and canadiens more in the regular season
-Malkin's lack of slapshots
