Johnny Hines better rewind this tape in the locker room and throw shit and curse at his players to let him know that was a joke

Yeah i hate the Bruins but man, its hard to not give them props.

After the Olympics, i was pretty sad when Marchand didnt come to Pens land, not that there was ever much of a chance.

Marchand, Bergy and Pasta are all fantastic.

I think the impressive thing was that it was not just two players passing and keeping keep-away. They were driving and when they had the play broken up, they took the puck back almost immediately. How many takeaways in those 40 seconds?

They do this to good teams too, not at this level but this is routine for them on the PK

I don’t know why more PK players dont do what these two do That is Go to the attacking zone then retreat back and play keep away Conventional PK players just try to ice the puck

Remember, this is the same PK unit that held the vaunted Canucks PP to a measly 2 goals, while scoring 2 shorties themselves (plus another SHG by the 2nd PK unit), back in 2011. And that was when Marchand was a rookie. They've been doing this for a long, long time.

Because most PK'ers aren't elite puck handlers.

You aren't old enough to remember Datsyuk and Zetterberg, or any PK Federov was on.
I am and to be fair, those guys would tip their hats to 63 and 37 as pretty special pk’ers. Just as Bergeron and Marchand would do likewise.
