Nice goal by Staal...And one between Crosby and Malkin and OH MY GOD THAT GOAL THEY JUST SCORED WHAT A PASSING PLAY.

Finally.. Crosby doesn't allow himelf to be upstaged by a lesser player. <>

Detroit, Pittsburgh Both Attempting To Lose Stanley Cup, Avoid Expensive Victory Parade

 

"I did everything I could, but Sidney Crosby just refuses to not lay down and die," said Detroit netminder Chris Osgood, who allowed only one goal in each of the first two games and took personal responsibility for the victories. "I tried scooping the puck in, I tried gloving it past myself, I used the stick, but it kept going off the post. The fans gave me hell, and they're right

Man I love the ONN.

5-0 with Datsyuk back in the lineup. I say Pens win the next one at home and then Detroit wins the cup at home (where it should be won)

Hehe, I love how Datsyuk just seemed to run over Malkin, steal the puck and set up the first goal. How can he do that? He's a much smaller player than Malkin! Anyhow, I loved it.

By the way, Zetterberg is totally outplaying Crosby in this matchup. It's Zetterberg's offence against Crosby's defence and Crosby's offence against Zetterberg's defence (at least when Detroit has the last change). Apparently Zetterberg's offence is better than Crosby's defence, and Zetterberg's defence is better than Crosby's offence.

 

Crosby: 5 games played, 1 goal, 2 assists, 3 points, -2 (ZERO points when matched up directly against Zetterberg!)

Zetterberg: 5 games played, 2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points, +6

 

Boy against man.

Zetterberg and Datsyuk are amazing in that they have sick offensive talent, but their defensive game is just about as good as any defensive forwards in the league.

 

It'd be nice to see a game 7.

I'm in agreement that Datsyuk and Zetterberg are two of the best two-way forwards in the league.

let's go pens, at least take it to game 7 this year...Besides, Detroit fans deserve to get the Cup win at home anyway

I'm just sick of seeing Detroit win. Such a boring team.

Nice to see Tyler Kennedy scoring some big goals this series

Yay, Game 7!

 

There sure wasn't much room on the ice in game 6.

Heatley on the move?

 

I'd take a guy that scores every other game, sure.

I read that, I'd go for a Heatley-Marleau swap to San Jose. Heatley with Joe Thornton might be a nice mix.

Is Marleau making around the six million mark, Hurley? That could be a decent trade for the Sharks.

He might be closer to 7. My guess is that the Sharks would need to throw in someone else to sweeten the pot, but it would be a good trade for both teams. Marleau is fantastic, I don't want to give him up, but he's probably losing the C and it's probably time for a change of scenery.

 

Maybe Errhoff could be the sweetener, he also needs a change.

Marleau is under contract for one more year at $6.3 million. Heatley is under contract for 4 more years at 8/8/8/6 with a cap hit of $7.5 million per year. I don't see a straight up trade working with Marleau.

As I said, the Sharks would probably need to throw in another player. But don't forget that Ottawa is dealing from a weak position here, everyone knows that Heatley wants out. Marleau, on the other hand, wants to stay but may waive his clause if the Sharks approach him right.

 

If you are referring to the money, I don't know what Ottawa's cap room is. I know the Sharks are close, but they have a few guys moving on, so they can handle the extra mil. for Heatley.

I'm actually nervous about tomorrow night's game.. which is weird because I don't really care which team wins!

 

It would be cool for Lidstr

Who the heck is Talbot?

 

One period to go Fleury, don't mess up!

If this keeps up, the Penguins have a great chance of winning this series. It feels like Detroit has gotten all their lucky bounces in the first two games already and the next few games have to be decided by skill.. and then the Penguins look mighty good.

I have to quote myself from after the second game in the series.

 

Congratulations, Penguins, you really were more skilled this time around!

Pens win! Pens win! Pens win!

 

Fleury came through big on the last couple shots, yikes!

 

That was Hossalarious.

Pens win! Pens win! Pens win!

Hahahahaha! Sucks to be him. And Malkin gets the Conn Smythe (spelling?), sweet deal all around
