Honestly HCMJ needs to sit Crosby for a shift or 2 after that pass to thin air...

I dont know, if Geno were skating faster into the zone it would have been a great play.

Jesus Christ... WHY DO THESE REFS HATE PLOT?

Seriously... I don't care if he committed this penalty or not, they are so unfair to him.


edit: the replay... they (frank)ed him on another call.

Not good 2 guys I've wanted to see more of Plots and Clendening are not making a good case for them playing...

Did we actually not lose mo on the PP?

Also, I can't help but feel good for Bennett. Glad he's finding success.

Plot has been getting possibly the worst ref treatment in the NHL... really not sure why, but the instant even up call says all that needs to be for that one.

It's like they got word that he was the Steve Downie of the KHL or something? Like what has Plot ever done to piss the refs off?

Anyone else falling back in love with Crosby? This is what he needs to be every game.

That was a good period. Still making some unforced errors passing but they did well overall. Crosby actually looked like the real Crosby instead of this season's doppelganger.

Zone entry on the PP is still pretty awful. I don't understand why they try that drop pass so early in the rush. Lead man should carry it until at least the red line before dropping it, not dropping it at the pens blue line. Gives the PK the chance to clog the NZ instead of driving them back as lead man.

There were bad shifts and bad plays, but guys responded and bounced back and generally looked like they're hungry and want it.

The person who embodies this right now is Crosby. In response to both you and Zac, this is the Crosby who's the best player in the world. I haven't seen him fly like this all season. This is the player I love.

Blind squirrel on Bennett. He still sucks. He is the second best Denver product out of two in this game. Zucker is a lot better.

Calling him the savior makes someone look foolish.

Baby steps. They are doing well at ES at least.
The 2nd PP unit looks better because they keep it simple; just dump it in and shoot right when they get a chance.

I'm mixed on how I feel about Sprong throwing hits. I like that he is trying to be better all around player but I think he is young and should just focus on his game which is offense first.
