Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
PIT not likely to know til tomorrow afternoon if Crosby will be medically cleared to play Wed vs NYI. That's when he's to see the doctor.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
I'm guessing he won't play Wednesday but will probably play Friday. If they're really as good as everyone says they are, and that they think they are, they won't need him to win Wednesday.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
It should be an exciting series. I'm looking forward to it and I hope the Pens will be able to advance. I think the key will be the PK. That is the biggest weakness of this team and hasn't been right since this time last year.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
Like I said before, play smart and disciplined, don't force things and none of that pond hockey crap and they should wear them down quick.
I wonder if Dan has the balls to play Vokoun - he owned the Isles. I'd pull Fleury quick if he looks like he's at all shaky early.

I was thinking the same thing. If I'm correct, Tomas went 3-0 against this season. I would like to see the hot goalie against this team play. Plus, it could give Flower some rest in case they advance.

Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins38sNo updates from #Pens coach Bylsma. Game 1 lineup will be game-time decisions
Shelly Anderson @pgshelly 19sCrosby on doc: "At the end of the day I have to make sure things are healed, and he's the one who knows that best." #Penguins
I guess that means no Sid

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
Another one, "interference":

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
Crosby: "I'll wear a football helmet" if that would get him cleared to play. #Penguins

I watched most of the Blues/Kings and what a terrible way for the Kings to lose like that with the Quick give away, he has to make a faster decision with the puck there or just stay in his crease.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
yeah - Holy shiite Kings, way to blow a game.....on a 4 min PP and your goalie gives away a game in sudden death OT, shorthanded
I hope Fleury was watching Quick blow that game by trying to handle the puck behind the net. and looking like a complete fool. STAY IN THE NET! where you belong and don't try and play hero with the puck

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie - Crosby's status solely in hands of Dr., and X-ray. Issue is whether jaw bone sufficiently healed to withstand contact w/o breaking again.
It never ceases to amaze me how Bob McKenzie and other Canadian reporters always seem to have more info than the local media
-
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
McKenzie is one of the best, no doubt. Darren Dreger isn't too bad either. Our local media is too obsessed with the Steelers to give out any info on the Pens. But anyway, Crosby skated on the "5th" line at the morning skate today and wasn't on either of the PP units, so it's looking like he won't be playing tonight.

maybe Beau gets to play
fun facts: Beau Bennett on the season has 14 points in 26 games, Kennedy has 11 in 46

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
It's official - no Crosby tonight. Bennett, BTW, did practice with the 2nd PP unit, so he could be in the lineup.
-
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs!
I figured as much
“I’m not in good (enough) of shape yet,” Crosby said. “Obviously not going to play tonight. Whenever I kind of take a regular morning skate, I’m sure that will be a pretty good sign I’m in.”
