crosby makes like or 5 insane passing sequences every single game. but no one is finishing for them or hell even having them result in shots most of the time. so its largely irrelevant. he needs to just start rifling.

Yeah he needs to shoot more.

Very odd game so far. Not blaming Murray at all for these goals. I've had enough of Maatta though, dude needs to sit. Bring Schultz back up.

Got a lift heading into the third.

Team needs to stop passing up on shots. Bolts are doing a great job defensively though

Give credit to Tampa. It wants this game a lot more. 3-1 isn't a bad score compared to the way we have played. Its doable. But a lot of things need to change. Absent winning face-offs, we aren't doing anything well.

Bonino needed to shoot that puck instead of trying to get it back to Cullen. We are passing up shots.

I believe in Murray's mental toughness. You should read the article on DK on him from today

Was what I was going to say...

Still in this.

We're still in this, but gotta start making this tender sweat. We've had very few extended possessions since he came in the game.

Everyone has.

Everyone but Sully. He's not made many bad decisions since taking the job, but this is an obvious one.

Lots of hockey left yet...and truth be told there's been stretches of play the Pens have looked pretty good.

I want the Crosby who wanted to (frank)ing murder the Rangers back.

Always abbreviated though. Injury, end of the period. Out of there control but we really need to come out firing.

Penguins can't press. That's when they're giving up stuff. If they just play patient their chances will come, especially within the zone. The Lightning have the quick transition game that the Rangers and Capitals mostly don't have.

I want Crosby and Malkin together, they have done too little separately, its time to put them together and reek havoc! At this point what do they have to lose, the production is pathetic for what is expected.

Hate to say it, but those guys are right. Shorten the bench and start double shifting Geno and Sid.

I wanna see Cullen with malkin and crosby.

Put all the kids on a line and limit their ice time.

i feel like cullen is needed on the line that 87 and 71 arent on simply to prevent a goal from being immediately scored.

I think Cullen, Rust and Kuhnhackle have been quite good. Call me crazy, but I might give Kunitz a shift with Sid to see if they can relive some magic. Sheary is getting tossed around like balloon.

Florida Panthers. Down 0-2 with five minutes left. Crosby and Letang. OT victory. We're still in this.

Crosby had heart in that game... He's not playing like he has it .

however hes a (frank)ing sarcophagus

blatant interference.
