Not to pick on sidney, but did you see how many times he missed the pass to malkin when he had that huge wind up on the 5 on 3. It was painful to watch.

Yes. My son and I both. Sid was trying to set him up for that shot and kept throwing it into his feet. Must have done it 3-4 times on that one PP.

Thankfully, this is Crosby we're talking about, so those two will probably practice that 300 times the next practice until they perfect it.

That shot is scary from the point. The only thing I don't like is that it seems like the Pens PP is looking to set up Malkin for a shot at the blue line on every passing play and all of the passes are just to set him up. It is going to be predictable after a while (and the Islanders already caught onto it).

I watched the blues for all of the MacInnis years. Trust me. If the shot is good enough it never gets old. That was a PP staple for years and it never lost its effectiveness.

He handles the puck like Mario and shoots like Al Iafrate. Scary combination! I think he is finally realizing his potential and at this point it is unlimited. He is a keeper and look out NHL, there is a new sheriff in town and his name is Malkin
