I'll be the last to defend Malkin when it comes to perceived cheap shots. However on this one, Coots reaches for the puck right before contact and lowers his head level even more than it already was. We went through this exact hit on the receiving end with Letang earlier, except he wasn't OK after. I don't think this was one of the intentional cheap hits, like I thought the one on Grossman was.

edit- I guess I should of said usually so it wasn't such a contradiction.

Right...my next guess. And it makes it even better cause I can't stand Marchand.

Like i said before, that is because your thread has about three posts. So you feel compelled to come here and post idiotic apologetic posts on malkin and attacks on Couturier.

Maybe, just maybe, they come here because they like talking hockey. And most of the conversations that have gone on in here have been intelligent and fun. I for one am enjoy when other knowledgeable fans come over here and talk hockey. The only idiotic posts I've seen have been from fans of our team.

Agreed. He should follow in Hartnell's foot steps and make some money for charity at least. #marchanddown could be very lucrative.

Speaking of that I saw a feature on Hartnelldown last week, think it was on CBC. I had no idea there was a song and everything. His parents were singing it.

Thanks man. I try to be respectful when I come. I think most Pens fans that come in here often try and do the same for the most part. Emotions are high, that's all.

Series is living up to they hype. To be considered one of the best it has to go 7 though.

Now only if Paul Martin would heal up, it would be even better news!

Why isn't Lovejoy playing?

Martin's healthy, and right where he should be. Not too sure about Lovejoy but I doubt he would be chosen to play over Despres or Strait right now. 2-0 with those guys in the line up, little stats like that play big mental roles in the playoffs.

That's the scariest part of a player coming back from a head injury, whether it's 2 games, or 2 years. But you just hope he isn't being rushed, or rushing himself.

Anytime. It's frustrating to see fans treating other fans differently because they're fans of our rivals. And the guys that come over and post regularly over here like you, ef, and gunner (i know theres a few more just cant remember) are always good to talk to. Personally I've never had an issue and its been fun. And yeah emotions are high right now... but thats no excuse to remove civility.
And it's definitly living up to the hype. Whether it ends tomorrow or tuesday (hopefully the former ) its been a great series. Maybe they'll give us another 5 ot game before its all over

Grossmann was in the ice with the Black Aces skating, not practicing. I still think he is doubtful for tomorrows game he was just seeing if any symptoms were coming back from just skating. Big difference between the two but still a step in the right direction

Sure. But again, there is no one to talk to over there. And that one post sure was idiotic IMO. Yeah sure, Malkin is an angel and Coots was embellishing.

Also, you must have missed a Vancouver troll as well (here and today). So easy with the self-flagellation .

edit: no one = almost no one

Not sure my blood pressure can take that. With these defenses and the offensive skill on the ice at all times I'm probably not in too much danger.

Sorry, but there's nothing subjective about viewing the way Rinaldo plays. For the amount of time on the ice he gets, the number of cheap, dumb things he does is staggering.
