Man, I wish Scott Hartnell was a Wing.

But actually they could definitely use a guy like him in the playoffs. I think the Z-Fil combination would be that much more potent if they had a guy in the mold of Hartnell.

Is anyone else just a little bit sad that Pronger will be out for this series? As happy as I was when he got injured, I know realise how much I would actually enjoy watching him repeatedly cross-checking Crosby throughout a series.

"If I can be totally honest, it's not a lot of guys you get impressed by. Actually, it's no one else but him. From the bench, to see what move he makes -- you're like, 'I wish I could do that.' Sometimes you sit on the bench and just think, 'wow,' and you look over to the other bench and they sit there and shake their heads, too. He has great, great skills. I'm probably not going to play with another player who has the kind of skills he has." Mikael Samuelsson on Pavel Datsyuk

Don't think Gary would allow that to happen to his little goody two shoes and that Penn State-like operation those two have going on. :hehe:

Wow, Fish popped him a few good ones!

I also wanted the Wings to get Claude Lemieux after the Devils swept 'em in the Finals. I guess it kind of worked out fine anyway, except for Drapes. Then again, if we had The Turtle we never would have seen quite possibly the greatest Red Wings game of all time.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

More talk back and forth between the Pens and Flyers, this time from Flyers' assistant coach. Basically said what Milbury said and then backed out of: Crosby (and Malkin) is a cheap shot artist who gets away with more slashes, cross-checks, and sucker-punches than anyone in the league. Here's hoping he doesn't get fined or forced to apologize in this fascist state that the NHL is becoming.

Ok, I'll say it... the hit that started this whole thing was a clean open-ice hit. Again, why should you have to defend yourself after dishing out a clean hit? Sure, the game was in the books pretty much, but I'd take a player that plays 110% until the final buzzer any day.

Oh, & Crosby is a little ***** (I just want to fit in here, so I figured I better mention that! LOL!).

It's just return message sending. Back in the day, you even laid a finger on Getzky, you'd pay for it, clean or not.

I agree, it was a completely clean hit, and it was ridiculous that the brawl started over a clean hockey hit. The game was already over, and I think Laviolette was pissed because Bylsma threw his 4th line out there. You never see him act out like that.

Yeah, one thing you hear about Crosby is "strong on the puck". Anyone can slip or catch a rut or just lose their balance, but their body language afterwards is a pretty good indication as to whether or not they just fell/slipped or if they were diving.

Sid looked like he was pushing for a penalty.

It's a really good question/observation. Tough to knock off the puck but I guess the puck gives him superpowers.
