[CERV96]

01:05 PIT B. Sutter Snap - ASST: C. Conner AND P. Martin 1 - 1 TIE

[scals37]

And so the wooing begins..... :face:

[CERV96]

04:22 PIT Sidney Crosby : Hooking - 2 min (Brendan Smith)

[offsides]

Not sure I like Sid having to stick up for himself. We need someone on this team to take care of nonsense like that.

[offsides]

Quite annoying there is no power play clock.

as much as I complain about Root's coverage of the game, you can't really appreciate Root's production until the local network covers the game for a day.

At least CW hasn't gone to a random crowd shot....yet

Looks like they heard me and got the PP clock working now.

[CERV96]

06:10 DET PPG - A. Almquist Slap - ASST: B. Smith AND T. Tatar 2 - 1 DET

[offsides]

Get to practice 5 on 3, again.

[CERV96]

07:59 PIT Thomas Vokoun Chris Kunitz(serving) : Hi-sticking - 2 min (Justin Abdelkader)
08:03 PIT Simon Despres : Delay Gm - puck over glass - 2 min

[CERV96]

11:11 PIT Dominik Uher : Tripping - 2 min (Danny DeKeyser)

[CERV96]

11:50 DET PPG - A. Almquist Slap - ASST: M. Samuelsson AND P. Datsyuk 3 - 1 DET

[CERV96]

13:14 DET Jordin Tootoo : Interference - 2 min (Harry Zolnierczyk)

[offsides]

Looks like our PP and PK could use a little tweaking. Yes, I know it is only pre-season with temporary players.

[CERV96]

17:59 DET P. Datsyuk Backhand - ASST: NONE 4 - 1 DET

[offsides]

Blah, guess I'll watch the Stillers for awhile.

[CERV96]

18:55 DET Brennan Evans : Interference - 2 min (Dominik Uher)

[CERV96]

Well that will do it for me. Let's go Bucs get a d**** hit please!

[Brugrabud]

I didn't like Sid's reaction one bit.. he should know he doesn't need to do that stuff, it's actually very frustrating to see he hasn't matured past that. Should someone have come flying in? Well depends on who is on the ice, but we don't need Sid taking penalties and acting like an ass. Sid should know he shouldn't have to do anything, skate away, and know that someone is eventually going to stand up for him and he doesn't need to do it himself. Sid actually looks really bad all around. All this game tells me so far is that you can still get under Sid's skin with one hit, in a preseason game, by a no-name player, and no one will do a thing except Sid who is that last person that should be getting into that ... stlll

I agree with this, but who will be the message sender? Don't see a lot of grit on this team. We'll see what happens when the season gets going.

Crosby will have to do a lot of sticking up for himself if this team stays the way it is. They are all 5'10" 200 pounds and not very hard nosed. This team needs to get a little bigger and tougher, IMO

[sil]

I'm all for toughness and bigness...but perhaps just skate away and not get caught up in the stupid crap other teams want to pull? Even if our players just try that and fail miserably...they can at least say they tried. It's just so easy to get any number of them frustrated.

[meecrofilm]

Has been that way for a few years now.

[SolidSnake]

That was kind of a lousy performance.

[MRandall25]

I'm interested to see what happens once they combine the team from last night and the team from tonight (minus the cuts that they'll make within 24 hours)

[booboo]

Meh what a disgrace of a gutless performance by the vets.
Seems like a few too many think their jobs are secure.

[scals37]

Sid is an emotional player and it's one of the reasons that drives him to be so darn good, so of course it's going to be tough for him to keep that in check with all the garbage that goes unchecked out there... His linemates should know that by now, and make the effort to stand in whenever possible
