It definitely looked offsides to me, but it was so close it could've gone either way. I think if that goal wasn't contested/overturned, the Preds would've decimated the rest of the game.
They deliberated for a while, so I was expecting them to deem it inconclusive (given how close it was) and let Nashville have the goal. Sucked the energy right out of them after that happened, but they did helm a rather impressive three goal comeback.
I would've preferred Fleury coming out for the third period last night. Murray allows too many shots to rip past his glove, it's his biggest weakness and the Preds have figured that out now. Someone needs to rebound come Game 5.
Now after a full season of Murray in goal and half of these playoffs, every team should know about his glove hand, but again it hasn't made much of a difference.
He's the better goalie and should start. MAF is great but unreliable and inconsistent, putting him in now would be a terrible idea. If he wasn't playing out of his mind and far above his usual then he would have been benched as soon as Murray was ready instead of after a bad game.
If Nashville ends up winning the series it's because they were the better team, not because of Murray's glove hand.
If the Penguins regroup and win the series, it's gonna be because they found their rhythm and aren't leaving Murray out to dry on breakaways and open PP looks.
That was one clutch performance!
I hope he wins this Cup and a couple more
Sorry Smashville
Because Malkin and Kuentzel deserve it more. Just dont give it to Sidney Crosby because he's Sidney Crosby. The two mentioned have done much more than him.
I think he's a genuine monster on the ice, and, even in the two losses in Nashville, he was (apart from Rhinne) the best player on the ice. The only thing the Preds can sling at him, to try to throw him off his game, is loud-mouth Subban (who Crosby pinned and then forced him to kiss the ice about five times before he got off of him).
Crosby set up three goals (starting right off the first face-off); and could have set up another three (as well as score). He's so dangerous on the ice, he draws the opposition to him, and out of position.
Watching the games with my son, I always say: listen to how many times you hear Crosby's name when he's on the ice; a shift is only forty'ish seconds, and you hear his name five or six or seven times.
To me he's unreal. He's basically been on the ice non-stop for the past two seasons (while his team was gearing up for training camp, he was captain of the Canadian team in the World Cup, winning the tournament). He's a hard-wired competitor, and one my son, whom I coach in competitive hockey here in Toronto, watches and tries to emulate himself...
Nice summary of the great Crosby. I have a whole new appreciation for not only his talents, but also his fierce competitiveness, after these playoffs. He sure owned Subban in that behind the net wrestling match.
I think Pens are rolling and they take Game 6.
One of the things the Pens changed was they upped the speed of their game; they didn't give Nashville a chance to take away time and space. They dominated because they created more space (led by Crosby).
It'll be interesting to see if the Preds can now do the same.
And, unlike most players, he does play 200 feet of ice, he drives the opposition out of position, he blocks shots (took a slapper off the hand last night that they froze on the bench).
The best player of his generation; and he' s set the standard fro McDavid and Mathews.
Yes, we are seeing Crosby in legacy form.
I'd say he's the first "great" player since Mario Lemieux, but you can make the case for Jagr too.
Crosby now has 3 Cups, 3 combined Olympic-World Cup Gold's (that is some serious winning there) a World Junior Gold, plus 2 Conn Smythe trophies, 2 Scoring titles, plus at least one Hart.
And he's got about another 8 years to build the legacy further (30 this year)
There is Richard, Howe, Hull, Orr, Esposito, Lafleur, Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr and Crosby in the Pantheon of legends.
I think Syd's last two years have elevated him to this exalalted status.
I said it in this thread earlier in the playoffs, but having grown up in Pittsburgh, I got to see a lot of Lemieux in his prime, and Crosby has impressed me just as much with his talent, and he's far from being finished.
I think i was bitter, still slightly due to the fact that I don't like any teams in the North. So I was really hoping a southern team would take it this year.
You have to learn how to lose so u CAN win: in '08 the Pens went to their first finals with The Kid, and they lost.
Twelve months later, the two teams were locked in the finals again, and the Pens won...
Hopefully Nashville learns from this painful, bitter-sweet loss and runs the tables next year,
And why the northern bias Last Rat?
