Epic stick relay in Pens game! Wowzers!

[KareemTrustfund]

Crosby breaks his stick, kicks the puck into the corner, goes to the bench and gets a new one right as the puck comes to him. It took the equipment manager like 2 seconds to get it!

My goodness, what a game!

It was actually pretty impressive how quick it was done.

It was very impressive. Props to the equipment manager for reacting literally within seconds. Then Crosby gets it right on the line and dishes a pass cross ice.

Probably the most exciting part of the game tonight.

I thought I was watching Disney on Ice, it was that magical.

Thanks for posting!

And that did look pretty impressive. Props to the equipment manager and Crosby.

Crosby is a multi sport athlete. Played soccer, relay and hockey in 5 seconds. Not bad.

 

[TrillMike]

Nice work by the equipment guy.

Never before in my time here has a stick change been thread-worthy, but this is definitely thread-worthy and pretty impressive.

For all the hype after the penalty festival on Saturday, this game did really not deliver.

Exactly what I was going to say

Downie being out had to play into that.

If that was Crosbys actual stick this guy is #1 star of the game hah, that was awesome.

 

[Skobel24]

I didn't actually see where his stick broke. Regardless, awesome job by the guy on the bench.

 

[londonHK]

Does anyone know the approximate point in the game that this happened? (I'm going to watch some parts of the game on GCL.)

 

[LeeIs]

haha nice!

 

[His Beardliness*]

The stick broke from receiving a pass? What the hell? It's time to go back to wood.

It was during this penalty in the 2nd period i believe, but i may be wrong.

Sure, still boring though. There were more mandatory slashing penalties because some stick broke than scrappiness.

I'm actually wondering if Crosby planned to use a weak stick to fool the refs into getting a 2-man advantage once a Panther player makes contact with the stick.....with how quickly they gave him a new stick, would that be so out of the question??

So, the Penguins would run the risk of him getting an open net to shoot at and missing because his stick broke by design?

Yes, that sounds pretty ridiculous.
