Why do we suck so badly at this?

Here we go again.

I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe he should pull a Willis Reed and only play a few shifts just to motivate the rest of his team.

I'm tired of pushing it back every game and always being disappointed. Maybe game 8?

He needs to play now, because there's only a few games left to spare.

This is a f***ing joke right? Joe Sacco coaching Joe Sakic?

Where did you dig that up?

Crosby most likely. Malkin tries to be too fancy, and scares me on the PP more than anywhere else. However, 5 on 5 he's a turnover machine.

Just for how s***ty we are on faceoffs on the PK, we should play Draper.

I've thought about this before, but our PK has been great in prior seasons despite using multiple forwards. Still, it'd be worth a try just to see what happens.

We're supposed to be a good faceoff team, but we're not on the PK. We lost just about every defensive faceoff on the PK the last game. Also, I've noticed that most of the goals scored against us are scored from the point. Our players either suck at blocking shooting lanes, or are too damn lazy to block shots like other teams do. This is where we miss Lilja. Maybe we just need to charge the point shooters to catch them off guard. Lastly, Ozzie bails us out constantly even strength, but he sucks on the PK. The goalie is supposed to be the best penalty killer, and he's not.

I wonder if Jean Claude Van Damme still works at the Mellon arena?

In that case, the whole thing was rigged. Bettman told that linesman ahead of time that at some point in the game, the Pens would get a 6 on 5 for about twenty seconds.

Most things in life are predictable. That's why it's often boring. As for tonight, I thought we'd have a good chance of winning, and we did.

How did a beach whale like Gill survive the "New NHL" and the lockout? This guy skates like he's got s*** in his pants.

I pointed this out during the game. Babcock should take some blame on that, especially since the linesman was right in front of the bench to hear what the bench would yell at him.

You've been watching too much basketball. Hockey is a physical sport and should be called as such. You just want a PP on every shift, since you realize that 5 on 5 Crosby and Malkin are invisible.

That boring style you refer to is what wins championships. Maybe your team will learn from that and Crosby and Malkin will learn how to play defense for a change. Just watch your boy Crosby breeze by the play on that 1st Wings goal.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. Go home and play with your shinebox.

What is your theory for why you haven't been suspended yet from this forum? I can't think of any reason for it, so maybe you can help me out.

I've never heard of refs being fined for any game.

He'll probably be ready to suit up for game 8.

Because he plays on the same team that Crosby does.

Is it just me, or do Gill and Orpik commit a penalty on every shift?

Sammy probably had half of those, so it's more like 7-4.
