Datsyuk not expected to play, Draper a possible healthy scratch.

If it ain't broke: Healthy Draper may not play for Wings in Game 3 - NHL - CBSSports.com Hockey

what....they can't get this game in today?

 

[dragurd]

Helm, Abdelkader and Leino would be up for it everyone else not so much.

As if Crosby needs the help....

Sidney Crosby needs to be Pittsburgh Penguins' catalyst, but what more can he do? - ESPN

BTW Scott Burnside is a hack.

This isn't on Crosby. His teammates have to do something. Detroit is getting contributions from it's 3rd and 4th lines consistently and the 2nd and 3rd D-pairs have been solid.

Crosby and Malkin are no match for the combined depth of the Red Wings. That's not debatable. For this hack ESPN writer to put it all on Crosby's shoulders is utter bullshit.

This 2-0 deficit is as much Crosby's fault as the Cavs' loss to the Magic was Lebron's fault. Crosby is a playmaker, and he's making plays. His fellow Penguins need to finish them.

They've done a good job of hitting posts.

Substitute "consistent goaltending" for 4th lines and it's also true. :p

reference to espn hockey articles should be dinged. (espn is contractually limited to 10 good hockey articles a year...)

You're starting to get a little complimentary of your team again, Mike. You're just asking for a beatdown in tonight's game.

Well those fuckers are gonna come out flat and let Pittsburgh get a huge lead. I can feel it. damned euros

 

[Mike80]

The whining is having an effect - according to hockey central the league is "disappointed in the refereeing and the rulebook will be more strictly enforced tonight"....whatever that means.

conspiracy theories anyone? :atom:

BTW Sammy may be out tonight with an injury which may open the door for Draper. Datsyuk is again out.

 

[shoegirl]

That's the first I've heard about Sammy - know what's wrong with him?

 

[dragurd]

Ugh you could feel that coming they refused to play puck stick to stick and kept hurrying.

 

[dragurd]

Flu/injury for Sammy
