GDT: ECF|Game 3|Pittsburgh Penguins @ Boston Bruins|06-05-2013|8:05PM EST

Do you think Pittsburgh will have a sigh of relief when they find Sidney Crosby in a storage unit somewhere and figure out this is just an impersonator?

Seriously, this is the only explanation I can think of. Either that of he's hurt.

apparently martin-adams is now a defensive pairing, and letang is LW

You know, that might actually be better than the alternative.

 

[bigkam]

Would it kill the Penguins to win at least a PERIOD in this series?

 

[SirBrad]

Cute icing that was Pejorative Slured

 

[Lim Ran]

Just interfere. They'll only call it once in a while, and they'll make sure the calls are even by the end of the game anyway.

 

[domaug*]

Crosby's been bad, but this kind of thinking makes me weep for humanity. Get the skirt off?

Let's use some double-digit IQ stuff, okay? We supposedly left the cave men crap behind millions of years ago.

he doesn't deserve it. he's not playing smart, he's not playing tough, he's not playing well by any means.

he's not the only one who deserves criticism by far, but he's not playing nearly well enough for someone with his skill set.

if telling him to toughen up is out of line, too ****ing bad.

I log the bruin grabbing on to Crosby's jersey there for about 5 seconds. Not holding at all.

 

[HuskerTornado]

1 goal in 7 periods...

 

[madinsomniac]

So here are my beefs coming into the game..

1. The Crosby Kunitz, Duper line has been abysmal for the whole series and for stretches during this playoffs... in fact they mostly hace scored awaty from each other...
2. Letang/Niskky... worse pairing than everything except maybe murray/ engellend vs speed
3. Iggy on Ltw
4. No netfron presense
5. Overstretchpassing/ forcing offense


None of this changes... none of it

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

+ They're only down by 1, and they seem to be more awake than the last 2 games.

 

[Vega]

The 09' Pens would be ashamed. That team had heart.

 

[Coach Travis]

****ing Stretch pass! The worst strategy you can use against the trap.

 

[vodeni]

Orpik goes to make a big hit and gives up a scoring chance...

and thats why I hate orpik

 

[Grandma Bingo]

Sadly, that was our second best period of the series.

 

[dueling mullets]

****ing Stretch pass! The worst strategy you can use against the trap.

When you only have one strategy...

 

[66 to 87]

Much better with the faceoffs, 14-8 in favour of the Pens.

 

[jerome garcia]

chicago had great success in the regular season as well, and they play well in the playoffs. why cant we? so frustrating

 

[Crafton]

he doesn't deserve it. he's not playing smart, he's not playing tough, he's not playing well by any means.

if telling him to toughen up is out of line, too ****ing bad.

you can tell him to toughen up without being a misogynist.

I'm not asking what he deserves. I'm saying you're embarrassing yourself by making the statement. If you're okay making yourself look worse than the Penguins have looked, by lowing yourself that far on the evolutionary and intellectual scale, please, feel free to continue. It makes the rest of us feel better about ourselves, if nothing else.

 

[eXile59]

Martin should be playing 35+ minutes a game. He's the only defensemen out there that can play defense.

 

[domaug*]

+ the score is only 1-0

- once again, the best players on the ice aren't Crosby, Malkin, etc.
- no drive or toughness to win any puck battles
- trying to be way too fancy against a tough defense

 

[phaeded]

We gettin the brooms out yet?

 

[bradshaw06]

Pens are going to comeback and win this game.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Love that Bylsma doesn't touch the first pp even though they haven't converted in what seems like half a year and keeps Chris "Offensive Graveyard" Kunitz on it.

 

[Skillzz]

+ They're only down by 1, and they seem to be more awake than the last 2 games.

Agreed. I'm not ready to wave the white flag...yet
