Bailey warming up with Tavares and Boyes. Spartiarti may get his wish tonite.

except for the Boyes part.

I'd like to see Bailey play with JT but breaking up the second line is a tough thing to do at the moment. Will be home in 40 minutes or so and pick up the game at that point, so I won't be checking in again until I'm caught up

What a disastrous first shift. Two defensemen behind the net running all over the place...no positional play

Edit...now that same pair takes a penalty

Streit looks so damn slow

Again both dmen caught behind the goal

Probably the worst hockey they've played in two months

All four PKers cover Crosby off the first faceoff, and zero cover him off the second. Whoever is supposed to teach these guys defensive systems has a lot of work to do.

You were right. AMac should have been sat.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Pierre hoping against hope it was kicked...

Just can't compete against this team

For God's sake fellas...defense! Gotta take Hamonic-Amac off this assignment. That pair is going to send me to an early grave.

So this is what we get if we resign Nabby?

Martin put it in the net himself...I was just about to say this could turn the tide...and then Many gave one to Crosby. Wow

Can't compete against any team running around like that though. Zero structure on D. No positioning...all five players just chase the guy with the puck.

I am having such a hard time watching this. I actually feel bad for these guys.

I don't think this has anything to do with who they're playing. They're taking themselves out of the game.

Seriously think Nabby has an injured neck. Watch the replay of last night...his entire neck compressed on that shot.

he's flatout awful. He gets physically dominated, out skated, out of position etc.

Malkin nor Crosby have EVER scored on him before.

Hopefully Capuano can look up a defensive system on the Internet during this timeout.

The Pens get an opportunity, they bury it.

And the Isles D is giving them ample opportunities.

What is up with nabby man.. This game should be 1-1

Neck injury. Guaranteed. Well hear about it after the run.
