Entirely possible any “lifting” of his leg Igor did was to minimize effect of knee to knee shot from Carter. Maybe he over did the spin and fall but allowing himself to be spun is better than taking a shot on both feet. It was a reflex actionYou can debate incidental contact or no malicious intent (I don’t think he lowered his shoulder but I do think he meant to brush up Igor) but to say Igor “lifted his skate” or initiated contact is ludicrous. Full speed he has less than a second to see Carter.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Didn't want to add another post complaining about something else.He kinda did already last night, Rooney was completely stationary in a scrum after the puck was blown dead at the penguins' net and Malkin swooped through at a good clip and completely took his legs out from under him from behind.
it wasn't close, it happened twice. copp was guilty as well on the crosby goal. There were other instances as well that didnt get the air time bc they didnt lead to goals against. I couldn't believe it but in the first period you were looking at needing to bench one of your best players in the midst of a must win playoff game. and for all intents and purposes last night was a must win for this group bc they arent a hardened playoff group, and going down 0-2 with two home losses and not wining a playoff game as a team in X years would've been devastating.He came dangerously close to having an Ovi controller disconnect moment.

I wish I know how to embed a tweet. There is a great video of the Reeves/Malkin hit on Twitter

If motte does come back who’s he coming in for? And it’s not Rooney. Let’s be realistic.
I thought Hunt was really good last night
Hockey is still a contact sport.
Can motte play center? I’m all for it if we have a center for the 4 line. GG is not gonna otherwiseIt should be Rooney.
It will be Hunt.
Good news on Motte getting closer. Sucks bad about Goodrow, we signed him for the playoffs specifically. Really hope we beat these clowns and move on and Goodrow is healed up for the 2nd round.GG says Goodrow is probably done for the series.
Motte has started skating.
Hockey is still a contact sport.
Jarry isn't even skating yet from his broken foot. Don't see how he can be game ready in the next 7-10 days.desmith done for the season, had core surgery. will be interesting to see if pens go with 3rd string or injured starter
It should be Rooney.
It will be Hunt.
