Malkin's 2008 playoffs

[End of Line]

Due to the virus we're all cooped up, and I happened to come across this and forgot just how dominant Geno was during the playoffs (up until the Richards hit).

I forgot how top heavy this team was with forwards, that PP unit: Gonch, Geno sid, hossa and roberts/malone..uuh

Ah, Taters.

those were heady times my friend...

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Forever Pittsburgh legends.

 

[Turin]

He was so good before that Richards hit (and that slap shot a few seconds after). Was horrible in the finals, but most were, Detroit was unreal.

It's so annoying that they've removed older games from NHLtv. I wanted to rewatch 2016 OR 2017 but they're gone now.

Man, did Sykora ever know how to 1 time...

 

[Rakell67]

Dupuis Crosby Hossa
Malone Malkin Sykora

He was really good following Richards but sucked in the finals.

Refresh my memory of that hit?

You might actually be right, I remember him being sick or something VS Detroit.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Everyone more or less sucked against Detroit. Wasn't Sykora banged up, too?

@ZeroPucksGiven - it's like halfway through the video up there but here ya go:

Oh yea I remember the clap bomb from 5 feet away, I kinda forgot the preceding event where Richards ran him

And we could have iced 6 skaters vs Detroit and would probably have lost

Laraque's like only goal as a Penguin is forever memorialized in She's Out of My League.

I remember thinking that Zetterberg was outrageously good during the 2008 SCF. I don't recall in which game it happened but I remember the Pens having a 5 on 3 PP that got absolutely dominated by Zetterberg, Lidstrom, and probably Rafalski. That 2008 Pens team is one of my favorites in the Crosby era but they just looked so completely outclassed by Detroit throughout every game in the finals. I was proud of the boys for taking two games the way they did and coming within a split hair of potentially taking three games and forcing a game 7.

Yea it's kinda bonkers how we were about 1 foot away from Hossa tying Game 6 in the dying seconds. He ran out of room to maneuver around Osgood
Like it seemed we should have been swept, yet they eeked out a couple of W's. That's commendable.

The one thing that irked me about the 2009 Finals in the following year was how MAF would make a save and then 2 Wings players would literally DIVE on him trying to push him/the puck in the net
One of many things/reasons I hated about Detroit lol

I never really had an opinion of Journey until the 08 and 09 finals.

I now f***ing hate Journey and Don’t Stop Believing is an instant skip.

That's more brutal than losing in the Finals.

I'm sorry you've been hurt so bad and hate a sweeeeet jam, now.

Getting to listen to thousands of Wings fans scream “born and raised in SOUTH DETROIT!!” Ruined it for life for me.
