GDT: debbies v. PENGUINS (3/17/12)

[mikey287]

Does this make anyone feel old...today is Andrew Ference's birthday...

Spoiler:

He's 33...it felt like just yesterday I was complaining that the Penguins gave him away to Calgary for no reason

Spoiler:

Additional fun fact, he once signed an 8 x 10 for me and he has some weird Japanese symbol thing as a signature...apparently he's big into, uh, whatever that stuff is...I think he's got tattoos and the like...I have no idea what I'm talking about...

In his seven year NHL career, Morozov earned the nickname The Devil Killer for his notorious success against the New Jersey Devils.[2] In fact, New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur in an interview before a Penguins/Devils game on Fox Sports Net jokingly stated that he had nightmares of Morozov each night before his club would play the Penguins. Brodeur also stated in an interview with ESPN's Dan Patrick that Morozov is the player that he would not like to see coming in on him on a breakaway adding " The kid's got probably over 25 percent of his career goals on me. It's unbelievable." when asked to explain Morozov's success against him Brodeur added " I don't know. If you figure it out, please tell me. When he shoots the puck, I never catch it really clean. When he's going to make a pass, I think he's shooting. When he's shooting, I think he's making a pass. The guy's in my kitchen. He's in my head. I can't get rid of him."[3]

Sweet back checking steal by Neal.

Nice awareness by Stall to pass the puck back to the point.

In Brodeur's book he lists some guys that had great success on him...so you see guys like Sakic, Lemieux, Jagr whatever all these guys and then in the middle of all those HHOF names you see Aleksey Morozov...it's bazar...

The only comparable thing I can think of is Knuble vs. the Pens, but I just remember getting so excited for games against the Devils when Morozov was playing, because there was such a great chance that he'd score.

[Gaucho]

Nice awareness by Stall.
