Just watched the game, awesome! I was yelling at Crosby to get point in OT, just effin get it! 17 in 8 games? i'll take it considering the rest is 11/10 points. Now there's a big gap between him and the rest of the league.
To the bolded, isn't that how defense is supposed to be played?
I really don't understand this. Sutter's playing well on the PK, finishing hits, and is leading our team in faceoff %, including 58% today.
We're looking really hard, and in the wrong places, for whipping boys this year.
first of all: I may have liked Vanc, but that was before they hired this piece of stinking garbage for a coach, I cannot possibly turn other cheek
back to the game:
MAF was OK he had problems with those chest shots, but all in all not too bad.
Our 1st D pairing aka 7 and 44 were pretty bad, Martin is back to his 2011 form, Orpik well I stopped crying about him long time ago
Bort and Maatta were all in all good. We have only 3-4 skilled hockey players on this team and Miaatta is one of them. I thought Bort had a pretty strong game.
Sid is great but Duper doesn't get enough love for what he does for Sid. His speed, tenacity, excellent space coverage allows Sid to get the puck more often that's the key. I hate Kunitz on pp, otherwise, he is who he is...
Gieno is showing signs of life but playing with Jus and Kobe is just not working, they have zero chemistry, they cannot establish any offensive pressure, Geno needs Duper 2.0
I still think our 3rd line is missing, although Sutter had OK game,he is good in covering space in his zone, but thats not what we want to see from 3rd, you want to see glory days of our KSC line pinning down opposition and not letting them breath, these guys are soff...
fourth line coming down to earth to mediocrity we are so used to
I was on Sutter early but he has been much better the last two games. Won battles regularly today at even strength and on the PK. Top 5 forward for the Pens today, for sure.
Fair enough, but I'd rather it be played in the other team's zone if you catch my drift.
Vigneault is in New York now though.
Yeah, I'm ready to see literally anyone else on the roster in Kobasew's place, at this point. Yes... anyone. At least it would represent a shakeup in that line.
He's a good player and I'm glad to have him. But I'm beginning to resent him a bit and I feel a little guilty about that. Because it isn't at all his fault.

Heh, he is referring to this.
We actually talked about this before the game and I for one find him to be a dick, but a very entertaining dick. There are too many boring dicks out there.
You can look forward to some very entertaining press conferences.
On Sutter, keep in mind he is basically centering a 2nd 4th line. Get Kobasew back with him and ideally Dupuis but even if its Bennett, you will see that 3rd line get back to being effective. We are complaining about our bottom 6, but our bottom 6 includes Engo and Connor right now.

Yeah, I think Sutter and Niskanen have been better in these last few of games. I think Orpik is also making Niskanen look better by comparison... Gladams are carrying Sutter. The question is whether or not Sutter can keep this up.
- Kobasew shouldn't be on the second line.
