Toronthab Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Just too bad we didn't get to watch them both patrolling the blue line, with Spacek giving us more depth. Instead we have to watch MAB flounder around. You're not kidding! That would be too much! Uh o...penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronthab Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Halak is amazing... Beliveau and other vets were commenting on how extraordinary the goaltending has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Fun game, but rope-a-dope is a lot less stressful when you're defending a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am not sure what annoys me more.. that soft holding call for touching Crosby, or the fact that Crosby has hacked, crosschecked, and punched our players after the whistle tonight, not one call. At one point will the refs in this league stop treating him with kid gloves. As for the Habs, the first was pretty good. they were skating, passing well, and not spending the entire period in their own end. Unfortunately, the 2nd period was a repeat of the last game. This is going to be a big kill to start the 3rd. Clean ice, no Gill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Will be interesting to see the Penalties called at the end of the 2nd.. Crosby should get one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Pittsburgh playing better in the 2nd? I'm stuck in NJ and have no TV coverage (nobody carries Versus ...(, am depending on the nhl.com "realtime" scores and HW. I feel your pain...that is my usual situation here in Qatar. Ironically, fox sports is carrying the versus feed of the Habs tonight but it is now 3:49AM at the 2nd intermission so tomorrow is going to suck :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Pittsuburgh is actually blocking more shots so far -- they blocked 15 of 25. Habs have blocked 12 of 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDriveFor25 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 5 on 3 to start the 3rd.. only Penalty looks to be to JoshG! BRUTAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 nice, crosby doesn't get a penalty. Nor does Malkin.. who gets it.. Gorges and Letang... which means we kill 2 minutes without our two best defensive defensemen, but the Pens get to keep Crosby and Malkin out there... what a joke.

It'll get worse for me, too -- I'll be in the UK next week so CJAD may be the best I can do ... and even then the hours will force me to do IV caffeine to make it through early mornings at work!

tomh009 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Complaining about penalties is a waste of time. Complaining to the ref, yes, it's a waste. Complaining here, that's an art form! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I think its time for Pleks to get a shorty.. pick off a pass from Cindy to Malkin, blow by Gonchar, and bury it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Complaining about penalties is a waste of time. at least the penalties were not freaking tripping or holding the stick (besides Gill one..). nothing against a good roughing penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Crap.. and there you go... take off our top two D and leave on the top two offensive guys for Pitts... could see that one coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 well, they better start taking shots.. not that I expect AK to do squat.. nice hit earlier, but now he is standing around in the offensive zone again doing nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it sounds like Halak is keeping them in the game ... can't win unless you start getting some chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
