You can debate incidental contact or no malicious intent (I don’t think he lowered his shoulder but I do think he meant to brush up Igor) but to say Igor “lifted his skate” or initiated contact is ludicrous. Full speed he has less than a second to see Carter.

Entirely possible any “lifting” of his leg Igor did was to minimize effect of knee to knee shot from Carter. Maybe he over did the spin and fall but allowing himself to be spun is better than taking a shot on both feet. It was a reflex action

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

He kinda did already last night, Rooney was completely stationary in a scrum after the puck was blown dead at the penguins' net and Malkin swooped through at a good clip and completely took his legs out from under him from behind.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Didn't want to add another post complaining about something else.

Rooney becomes a first pair penalty killer again in Goodrows absence.

GG used only two pairs last night.

 

[bleedblue94]

He came dangerously close to having an Ovi controller disconnect moment.

it wasn't close, it happened twice. copp was guilty as well on the crosby goal. There were other instances as well that didnt get the air time bc they didnt lead to goals against. I couldn't believe it but in the first period you were looking at needing to bench one of your best players in the midst of a must win playoff game. and for all intents and purposes last night was a must win for this group bc they arent a hardened playoff group, and going down 0-2 with two home losses and not wining a playoff game as a team in X years would've been devastating.

I was fuming after that. I need more Reaves on Malkin action lol

Can't lose this series.



Jarry isn't close to returning.

I wish I know how to embed a tweet. There is a great video of the Reeves/Malkin hit on Twitter

Thank you!

Hockey is still a contact sport.

desmith done for the season, had core surgery. will be interesting to see if pens go with 3rd string or injured starter

If motte does come back who’s he coming in for? And it’s not Rooney. Let’s be realistic.
I thought Hunt was really good last night

It should be Rooney.

It will be Hunt.

Yes and maybe he should point out the dirty ass trip Malkin tried to me and the dirty slash by Rodrigues in garbage time

It should be Rooney.

It will be Hunt.

Can motte play center? I’m all for it if we have a center for the 4 line. GG is not gonna otherwise

 

[GENESISPuck94]

GG says Goodrow is probably done for the series.

Motte has started skating.

Good news on Motte getting closer. Sucks bad about Goodrow, we signed him for the playoffs specifically. Really hope we beat these clowns and move on and Goodrow is healed up for the 2nd round.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

With Goodrow out, Rooney is going nowhere. Gallant trusts him on the PK.

 

[MillerTime79]

Having been in the building for 1 and 2 - I can say Reaves has been f***ing electric. He brings so much energy with his play, it's a legitimate difference maker in the playoffs. Not only does it get the crowd and team going, but he truly has the Penguins scared to go into a corner when he's on the ice. He's created several turnovers just because a dman chose to avoid contact, allowing Reaves or another forechecker to get to the puck. Love to see it.

I hope it's Malkin or Crosby... or both.

Jarry isn't even skating yet from his broken foot. Don't see how he can be game ready in the next 7-10 days.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It should be Rooney.

It will be Hunt.

I really hope not. Hunt was fantastic last night and is a top notch fourth liner. It's not quite as bad, but reminds me of when we started Glass over Stempniak.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Jarry isn't even skating yet from his broken foot. Don't see how he can be game ready in the next 7-10 days.

It'll take him all of one practice to get ready.

I'd be all for it. He isn't very good.
