"The Shift"

[Big McLargehuge]

Came here to say this. It's like every fanbase thinks they've got the REAL "the Shift" when in reality nobody gives a **** about the other 29.

Hell, I can think of 4 or 5 instances of that nickname being used for monster playoff shifts just by the Pens over the years.

I failed to see some Russian guy being prevented from entering the bench by his coach- so no, this is not "The Shift".

 

[LuGBuG]

You mean 2007?

Also, I remember Mike Fisher having a "The Shift" against the Pens that year.

Yup stubby fingers on a cell phone

Not even close to a memorable shift.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Aint there a Zetterberg "the shift" as well? Lots of em. Typical Pens...

 

[HandshakeLine]

I repeat, please rename the thread "A Shift." A place for our favorite shifts of all time.

 

[Riptide]

Didn't the Pens have three at least partial line changes during that shift?

Don't think so.

Kessel, Malkin and Wilson were on at the start of that clip, and then the only other forwards I saw were Rust, Rowney and Bonino.

 

[Brainiac]

I could probably find better examples, but I don't give a shift.

Way to hem it up.

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

This is the only the shift worth mentioning.

 

[possesthepuck]

Came here for the Richards and leaving satisfied.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Actually, the Sedins own "The Shift".

 

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

still think Giroux laying crosby out in center ice and then sniping fluery post in on the opening shift of a playoff game is "the shift" atleast from more recent memory

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

This is the only real "The Shift", 2004 SCF overtime game 5:

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Will always be Nyquist playing keepaway with us. I remember someone put Yakety Sax on one version.

 

[Ace of Hades]

The Shift is reserved for the Sedins.

Especially against the Oilers in 2007:

 

[Headshot77]

What about that Orpik shift back in the dark ages?

The dark ages of when we made the Stanley Cup Final???
