10/14/08 - Cryers at Penguins - Official Game Thread

[cojac]

Just got back from the game, sorry if this was talked about. MT made a mistake tonight on the cryers 2nd goal. We had a faceoff in our end in the right circle which is where you need a righty (Ziggy) to take the draw, but instead let crosby take it and he lost it clean and the puck is in our net. Little things like that is what makes me not like MT's in-game coaching.

I see nothing wrong with what he did. He had his first liners out there, and Sid has won over 70% of his faceoffs. You are just looking for something to criticize MT.

If Sid wasn't out there,, and the Flyers scored, I'm sure you'd be saying MT is an idiot for not having Sid out there.

Nope, sorry your wrong. You don't have to pull the whole line off the ice people, you just put Ziggy out in place of Satan. Having 2 centers on the ice for a defensive zone faceoff is a common practice. I know sid had a good night in the circle, but in the right circle it's a hell of a lot easier for a righty to take the draw.

Nope, sorry, you're wrong. Its not like the pens had their backs against the walls in the 3rd period on a powerplay, there was no reason to disrupt the line when it wasn't really necessary. Like was previously mentioned, Sid was doing great in the faceoff circle, there was nothing wrong with sending him out there.

so by your account, whenever there is a draw in the defensive right circle, zig should ALWAYS be the one taking it if he's reasonably fresh?

and if he isn't fresh then you should put crosby out there instead of malkin when it's geno's turn. and maybe even put malkin out there instead of staal. and put kennedy out there just in case. and sign yanic perrault and only play him when there's a faceoff.



dude. you can't build your world around a 2nd period faceoff in a 2-1 game. play the lines as they come unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Whether I'm right or wrong.

[Kovy27]

You are always wrong.

[Why So Serious?]

You know what I never want to hear from a Flyers fan? Is how much Crosby whines. How many closeups were there of Mike Richards whining about calls? And then he sucker punches the Tank whilst being held down by a linesman. What a turd.

Didn't that d-bag try to do something to one of our players during the play, in which "Free Candy" responded by driving Richards into the boards and then dropping him? I was at the game but I was paying attention to the puck which was on the other side of the ice while Richards was gooning it up away from the puck.

And I also remember one of the Flyers goons taking a shot at Jason Blake last year while the ref was holding on to Blake. A player from the Flyers just sucker punched him in the face after the whistle. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the Flyers. They are a bunch of classless jokes.

Not sure if this was posted...But I was not aware that the only reason the Pens beat the Flyers in 5 last season was because they didn't have Timmonen and Coburn for the series....

God. They hammered that home a lot last night...The Flyers were also a borderline playoff team with those 2 guys healthy all year too...Didn't hear that one...

[newarenanow]

You are always wrong.

You better watch it. We may strike you down as the Clique Commander.

You can not strike me down...I am an enigma.

You better watch out for a coup

Nope, sorry, you're wrong. Its not like the pens had their backs against the walls in the 3rd period on a powerplay, there was no reason to disrupt the line when it wasn't really necessary. Like was previously mentioned, Sid was doing great in the faceoff circle, there was nothing wrong with sending him out there.

Nope, you're wrong having your best Faceoff man taking a defensive draw with under a minute left in a period is always the right move. It doesn't matter if ziggy was just out there, if you win the faceoff and exit the zone he comes right off. Last year Hall took a ton of faceoffs and came right off the ice.

I'd love to ask 30 NHL coaches what they would have done. Do you know what they'd say? Crosby.

[LeopardLetang]

i think it was talbot, after getting high sticked and sitting on the ice, had a stick bashed across his face again from a flyer way after the whistle. i couldn't get the number. ticked me off and led to me imagining myself on the ice and doing something that would send me to jail.

[Why So Serious?]

^ It was probably that bum, Mike Richards. I increasingly hate him every time the Pens play the Flyers. I just can't stand him. And it's hilarious how the Flyers call Sid a whiner and a diver when they got the NHL's biggest whiner and diver playing for their own team.

[Kicksave]

Mike Richards really has surpassed Sid when it comes to whining. He's the biggest baby out there most nights.

And more importantly, I picked Crosby.
