Pre-Game Talk: Calgary Flames vs. the Panguins

[KIRK]

Definitely a disappointing display from #87. They should check his iron deficiency.

Old school, Cole . . .

Malkin trying his best Crosby forcing a cross-ice pass to Kessel.

Yes sir... may I have another?

Maybe it's the right circle.

Meanwhile, Malkin 3 minutes TOI first half of this period.

Some really good movie references flying around the thread tonight. Way more exciting than the garbage fire on TV.

Playing much better. Need to get a quick one here.

Don't know why but I'm dying at the shoot the horse part

 

[KIRK]

Well, wasn't that special from Letang?

Just scary how ineffective Sid with this system. Or maybe this is just what Sid is now.

Either way it's frightening.

I think it's the system. He's been this way since MJ came here.

You've never heard that expression?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

There are so many things that are contributing to Crosby's struggles. He's not nearly good/consistent enough, the system kills offense, his confidence is non-existant, Kunitz and/or Dupuis is a constant on his line.

It's not one of those things where you can point to one thing and say "that's the reason he's having trouble". It's a perfect storm of things contributing to him looking like crap.

It has nothing to do with his concussion. He's had games this year where he plays in traffic and goes hard in the corners. It just seems that the consistency that Crosby is known for is simply not there this year.

I hadn't thought of that.

Sprong with Sid!!!!!

Goose fra ba goose fra ba, DAMNIT GOOSE ****IN FRA ****IN BA!

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Oh and I don't know what the solution is with Sid. I just know Kunitz is not the solution.

 

[pensfan71]

Sprong??

I'm sure it is, but Sid needs to be better. A $9M floater out there.
