ziggystardust, sorry i've been away watchinig the game. what should he have done? i do know.....if you're going to stand in front of the goalie get down and block the low shot, not make a big canadian turn like an ass.

Wow we are in OT. That's a victory in itself. Congratulations, Penguins!

I wonder if Fleury stops any (if this goes down to penalty shots). They better win this in 4 on 4 or hope the Isles miss the goal on every PS.

This shootout format is a frackin Joke. Give a point to the team who was dominated in OT. NHL needs to go back to the darn tie.

Well done MT putting your best shooter last. Even Edzo didn't make that mistake.

You should use your best shooter second, in cast he doesn't have a chance to shoot by being third!!!

Seems very strange for MAF to use the pokecheck that much considering he doesn't do it enough during the regular part of the game. I wonder if the coaches advised him to use it.

Some big inexperience there.. 1st ever shootout but give him time maybe that goalie coach can work with MAF and teach him more about not poke checking but a good feeling from todays game to make it to the shootout maybe they can take some of todays good feeling to the next game.

I wish they would have scored in OT because Fleury was no threat to win it for them in the shootout.

Terrible call by MT to put Crosby last. You have to put him in the #2 slot. That way it guarantees he gets the puck. Now before I get flamed, I am not saying that MT is a terrible coach or deserves to be fired. I just think IMO that you have to give your BEST player an opportunity to see the puck in a shootout.
