Post-Game Talk: +/- Sock Monkeys versus Little Sisters of the Poor Edition
- Thread starter KIRK
- Start date
Lately is the first time where I'm willing to say that Crosby has jumped Jagr in the all-time Penguin list and the first time where I'm starting to think that he deserves to be mentioned with the all-time greats.
Which isn't to say that I don't love Sid's game. I've never had anything negative to say before. Just seems to be reaching a new level of awesome.

Probably one of the best games the Pens have played all year.
+ Vokoun in net....should quickly catch up to MAF's SV% with more games like this.
+ goes to Bylsma for scratching Engelland.
+ goes to 4th line for contributing with zone time.
Bylsma will get infinite pluses if he ever scratches Glass.

Here are just some random thoughts from being there live:
+ Crosby: Seeing him live at this level is just so much fun. I was there for his hat trick on hat night and tonight. The guy is the most ridiculous hockey player I've seen since Mario. He's so dominant. He does stuff in space that no person should be able to do. He makes the game just look so easy. That pass he took off the left skate with ease and didn't lose a beat was ridiculous. I've played this game forever and wouldn't even imagine doing that and instantly having my head up looking for a play.
He's also the smartest hockey player out there. He's 2-3 steps ahead of anyone. God...I hate to sound like a fanboy, but he's so damn good.
+ Live Experience: I know we give Consol fans **** for not being loud, but looking around tonight changed my perspective. I was sitting in the First Niagra Club and I watched kids act as if it was Christmas morning watching the Pens. It's an amazing thing to think that I was one of those kids in 89, 90, 91, etc. just staring at heroes on the ice. I wish we had a more college like atmosphere, but it's really special to see kids take this game in. Hockey is ****ing awesome.
+ Beauner-ing Live: I thought Beau was good watching television, but now I know he's got a future here in Pittsburgh for sure. He's better than I thought. He's in the right position and surprisingly does a lot defensively that the tv probably doesn't pick up. He's just ALWAYS in the right spot. I think RRP used the word "Creative" earlier and he's spot on. He has a different game that we've been looking for. He was tremendous.
+ Vitale: Why is this guy ever scratched? He was 7-0 in the faceoff dot and won 2 BIG faceoffs against their top line after we got caught on icings. That almost always ends in a goal against or a penalty when a top line comes out against a 4th. Vitale won huge faceoffs and we got Sutter on (who is a boss at shutting down oppositions).
= Vokoun: He's making saves but I can't tell if it's luck or not. I watched him flub 2-3 pucks just dumped into his glove. I don't know why. He looks shaky but then comes up with the save instead. He needs to get his full confidence back. His glove side looked VERY weak.
Minus
- PK: I know the PK was perfect, but they are lucky the Isles didn't score 1-2. We let them gain our zone so easily. There was no pressure. On top of that, they worked the puck through our box like it was nothing. Vokoun came up with some lucky and big saves to keep the puck out. We also had some clutch blocks. I really don't like our PK
- Tanner Glass: He's worse live than he is on television. He's ****ing awful. He flubs everything. I also don't know how he registers hits because he hits them so freaking late after the play it's pointless. He's just garbage out there. The most useless player. Live it was even worse.

Not to mention that "Tanner" is a stupid ****ing name. Settle down Tanner, it's time for the class afternoon nap.

+ to the feed I was watching that didn't have commercials. It gave me these gorgeous pictures.
HOoo-ly JEEzus.... ^what-is-that?^ ..... WHAT THE **** is that..... WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE BIRDMAN??!
First-class broadcasting all the way. I hope Mario sees these.****. Glad it's not more serious but that sucks Geno is out again.

Honestly.. the D played good last night and tonight. I'm glad to see them get rewarded for it tonight. Shame about Despres skate though.
+Vokoun, for doing his job.
+Crosby-Kunitz-Letang.. those three have some sick chemistry. And Dupuis is the perfect compliment to cover for Letang.
+Neal.. getting his goodies without Malkin now

Well, I couldn't have been more wrong about this game since it was the furthest possible thing from a letdown. Easily one of the more enjoyable games of the year.
Sid is a beast and Errey hit the nail on the head when he talked about all the great things we missed when Sidney was out for so long. At least we got to watch Malkin during that time though. Not a bad fallback.
Steiggy proclaiming a first ever sock monkey trick was pretty funny too.

it's the only "comedian" i know who did a joke about the name "Tanner", and that should count for something :p

+ Everything except...
- Glass
Unrelated to the game version:
- Malkin injury
+ Malkin injuries and Sidsationality production making it harder for Geno to make a case for higher than current cap-hit.

Crosby is up there with Messi and Lebron as one of the most phenomenal athletes in the world right now. What a gift it is to watch this guy play hockey like this.
Still want Iginla on his other wing, though.

Letang is 3rd in the entire league in assists and leads Timonen and Shattenkirk by 7 points in the D-man scoring race.
Only thing that's going to keep him from leading all D in points is an injury. Otherwise he'll run away with it.
I honestly can't imagine Crosby playing with a guy like Iginla or Perry. Crosby is in beast mode. He is carrying this team on his back.
I just wish Malkin and Sid could dominate at the same time. This team would be nearly unstoppable but they've been so damn injured the last few years.
