Zach6668 513 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This Malkin penalty is quite similar to the non-call on Axelsson in the 2nd Bruins game where Lucic scored after PJ barreled Eaton out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Now THAT is what Pittsburgh needs!QFT.He deserves the penalties he got, though. Although I don't understand the 2-min instigator and the 2-min unsportsmanlike. Seems redundant to me. If the 10-min is automatic, fine, but if it isn't, again, it's redundant.This is fun, for me obv.But I'm getting tired of the announcers harping on the "should be" calls.Horton's wrister is sickening.Do you have the Pittsburgh feed? I have the Florida feed.There have been a lot of blown tripping calls in this game.I think all of the Penguins penalties have been pretty legit, though.This is just typical Pens getting no breaks. They've been playing 'ok', but anytime they get anything going, they get called for a semi-soft penalty, or they give up a weak goal. Goaltending has been a big problem in this game. Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't know if I liked pulling Fleury. A few defensive lapses haven't helped either. Link to post Share on other sites

I probably wouldn't have yanked Fleury so quickly as well, but I'm sure I can understand the message. Therrien is hoping the team will get the message and wake up with some more pressure and capitalizing on their chances, plus with all the rumors about his job safety going around he might be looking to do anything/everything that can help.

Jason12 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 From what I saw, Crosby has something going on with Campbell but doesnt fight him. Instead, Talbot fights the experienced Campbell. Then in more of a mugging than a fight, tough guy Sidney Crosby grabs an unexpecting MacLean and starts throwing punches before MacLean even knows whats going on. I have no problem with Crosby fighting but its not like MacLean did something to piss him off, if Crosby had balls he would of atleast said something to him off the faceoff...MacLean didnt even know what was going on.

Usually yes means yes. I guess he didn't take me seriously."I have no reason to not believe him. Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 From what I saw, Crosby has something going on with Campbell but doesnt fight him.

I have no problem with Crosby fighting but its not like MacLean did something to piss him off, if Crosby had balls he would of atleast said something to him off the faceoff...MacLean didnt even know what was going on.On the day Sidney Crosby was named a starter for the NHL All-Star Game, he had his second fight in the league.Or at least a one-sided version of a fight.Crosby, the Penguins' captain, and Florida center Brett McLean exchanged words in the first period yesterday at Mellon Arena and, with frustration mounting for the home team, Crosby decided he wanted to engage McLean.So, with his team trailing by three goals at 17:01 of the second period -- two seconds after the Penguins' Max Talbot fought the Panthers' Gregory Campbell -- Crosby asked McLean to fight."He said 'yes,' " Crosby said. "Usually, yes means yes."In this case, Crosby punched, but McLean didn't punch back, so, while both players got five-minute fighting penalties, Crosby also got minor penalties for instigating (the first of his career) and unsportsmanlike conduct and a 10-minute misconduct penalty. He didn't get a chance to play again until the final two minutes of regulation."I wouldn't have wasted 20 minutes in the box for that," Crosby said. "I guess he didn't take me seriously."It was just one of the things that backfired during the Penguins' 6-1 loss.Crosby, who had no shots or points and played just 12:01, spent more than the first 18 minutes of the third period sitting in the penalty box.Panthers coach Peter DeBoer, who coached Crosby during Team Canada's gold-medal run at the 2005 junior world championships, didn't fault Crosby, but he also didn't mind having him out of the game for so long."He's a competitive guy," DeBoer said. "If I'm coaching Pittsburgh, I'd like to see that kind of play out of your best players when things aren't going well. ... I can tell you I'm glad he wasn't on the ice for 19 minutes. It made our jobs a little easier."Crosby's first NHL fight came Dec. 7, 2007, against Boston's Andrew Ference, a fairly even go-round with several punches landed. Link to post Share on other sites
