Although on the replay it looked like he almost had that second Crosby goal, but it slid under his stick.

Agreed. Crosby’s goals were all ridiculous rebounds with little defensive support. Some may call them.. “garbage goals.” 
No, but Poti should got up in Cindy’s shit while he was whacking away at the puck.
uhh...uhh...uhh...
Yeah, I agree
I though Poti made some mistakes and Green was barely noticeable. Tyler Sloan, however was a different story. He was a really good, and Boudrea increased his ice time as the game went on. Without seeing any stats, it’s seemed like he played a huge chunk of the third.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

1. Green is playing his primary position, as he should this time of year. Weren’t there enough odd-man rushes for y’all?
2. Invisible? Greener did pop Letang’s arm out of its socket for him!
3. I’d rather see Green play D than be the cause of an odd-man rush.
4. As I’ve said before, MG52 is not 100%.
uhh...uhh...uhh...
This. Poti and Green were a mess. Sloan and Pothier were a pair of rocks on the backline, and I mean that in a solid and stable way.
Too many dumb giveaways, especially early. 2nd and 3rd were better than the first. Course, they had their share of defensive miscues, too, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some cleaning up to do.

On NHL on the Fly, Bob Errey (former Penguin) just said that that Ovechkin scored because of that “jai lai-like stick he has” and he wouldn’t be surprised if the Pens call him on it.
I have a blog too! www.scottyhockey.com

“I get no respect. I played hide-and-seek, and they wouldn’t even look for me.” i hope errey has many, many more chances to talk about AO’s stick this month.

What does “call him on it” even mean? There is no rule on the curve of the stick anymore so what are they going to call him on?

No, there definitely is, it’s just a much larger legal curve than it ever used to be (not counting Bobby Hull’s monstrosity).

Errey’s not only a former Pen, but he’s their TV color guy, isn’t he? Big-time homer.

I’d prefer ANYONE to the guy they got for VS. today. That Boston accent is obnoxious, and he’s a damn moron.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
I watch 70+ Bruins games/season (don’t have much of a choice here), and I think Andy Brickley is a very good color guy. Much better than some of the guys they’ve had at NESN in recent years. I have to agree with you regarding the accent – sounds too much like my wife’s accent! Nobody needs to listen to that during a hockey game…
Wasn’t he the guy who suggested that the one Canadien be sent to prison cause his uniform matched?
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
That’s Jack Edwards. Brickley is the color guy. He’s actually pretty good when you get past the accent. Very insightful, doesn’t talk to much, picks out subtle things that even long time fans may miss.
I like Brick alot, actually. But I only hear him on Versus b/c Jack Edwards makes me want to jam ice picks into my ears.

Probably. But they didn’t call the Penguins for whacking Varly IN THE FACE during that scrum that led to Crybaby’s goal, so I think it’s even.
by zambonirider on May 4, 2009 10:38 PM EDT up reply actions
There is quite a few times where there were questionable calls today.
Kunitz cross check to Varly’s neck was a joke.
Orpik’s spear to Semin’s crotch. Of which only Semin got the extra two for high sticking.
Then I still do not understand why Jurcina’s cross check in the last few minutes was called right after Orpik cross checked/slashed Semin at least 5 times in the other end. Personally I would have let them all go, but one and not the other. Of course the reason one was called and the other was not was for drama purposes. They needed to have a close game to just help out those future ratings.
Have to add the Letang penalty on the Steckel breakaway. Bad call, he got the puck.
by CapsFanSince1979 on May 4, 2009 11:29 PM EDT up reply actions
I think the interference on Poti was weak in the 1st, and the Caps got a PP as a result of a weak call that I can’t remember.

The Poti call was the right call by the rules. It was just unfortunate for Poti. The puck was coming to the man Poti took out but was deflected before it got there. This meant the man Poti took out never played the puck as it went over his head. Since he never played it then interference can be called.
by CapsFanSince1979 on May 5, 2009 12:20 AM EDT up reply actions
It was a nothing play on a dump-in. It was a joke of a penalty. Everything else after that was a series of make-ups.
Incidentally, this is why I hate having two officials.
not to burst the party or anything ;) tonight’s history lesson as per TSN’s recap…
Although they’re in a two-game hole, historians of the Pittsburgh-Washington rivalry will say the Penguins have the Capitals right where they want them. From 1991-2001, the Capitals lost five series in which they led the Penguins, including 2-0 leads in 1992 and 1996.
in 92, Pitts was the lower seed (7 game series), but on a brighter note, in 96 Caps were the 7th seed to Pens’ 2 (6 game series).
I believe. :)

Who cares? He’s a great player and one of the only guys on that team who has shown up. Props for that, at least.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
(Not “who cares?” in a confrontational way – just saying that he does what he does on the ice and probably would rather not even talk to the media; and I can understand that, as one of few guys on his team playing hard and wearing the “C,” he’d be in a bit of a mood. But more importantly, I didn’t mean that “who cares?” to come off the way it probably did)
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
I'm sure the media would love to not have to talk to him.
“stock answer #1 Complaint. Stock answer #2. Cliche #1. Whine”
I dunno…he’s sure as hell backing his talk up with serious action right now. He’s putting on just as much of a show as OV and we’re not even in his building yet. As for his comments about the hats…yeah he comes off as a whiner, but at the same time would anyone really be upset if it were Clark, OV, Feds or any other Cap making the request?
I would be ashamed if one of our guys did that.
by Ovechwin on May 4, 2009 11:32 PM EDT up reply actions 3 recs
Yes. It’s shameful.
Besides, even if you did ask the refs to make an announcement and they refused (as they obviously did), why would you broadcast to the world that you complained about the hats? Let. It. Go.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
He's just asking
for hats to be thrown after EVERY Caps goal in the next home game, or something equivalent, now that the fans know it bothers him.
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
I was noting that I’d be embarrassed if he were my kid. Then I retracted the comment and said that if he were MY kid, he wouldn’t do that. This is how parents of Canadian superstars in training raise their kids?
Christ I can’t believe I’m in a position where I’m trying to defend Crosby…
But regardless, I think he’s been trained to do whatever it takes to win. Anyone playing professional sports, especially hockey, tries to bend the rules. Crosby has left more out on the ice thus far than almost anyone else….meh I know this is a debate that I can never win.
I guess I’m just willing to cut him a little slack this time because of how much he’s carried his team thus far…and he had to recognize that the longer the delay the steeper the climb.
meh, ask the refs to move it along, im fine with that. but keep it on the ice, no need to bring it up in the post game
Dude, they asked him. I mean, it’s not like he raised it himself. The question was “what did you say to the refs?”
That was my abiding impression from the Crosby press conference — the media constantly asks him stupid questions. Really stupid. Like, there’s-no-way-to-answer-this-honestly-without-looking-stupid-yourself questions.
Sid needs to take a page from Fedorov’s book and learn how to graciously decline to answer a question. Because 90% of him looking like a whiny guy is the reporters egging him on and him agreeing to answer.
I hate to say it, but Crosby is growing on me this series. He’s playing really well, and he’s putting up with a lot of shit — most of it off the ice. I’m really enjoying the hockey.
by Gould Old Days on May 5, 2009 9:22 AM EDT up reply actions 3 recs
Rec’d.
I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the NHLN coverage of the post-game pressers. For as bad as the Crosby quote sounded (and it does sound bad), within the context of the presser, I really didn’t have that much of a problem with it. And that third goal was amazing. Even on the replay, I thought it was off Green, but from that angle in midair? Wow.
We've got a goalie who's playing pretty good right now, while you've got one who can't get onto the ice without falling on his ass.
Here's my question...
how was that NOT a high-stick? Haven’t the Caps had one disallowed against NYR for pretty much the same thing?
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
Crosby made contact with the puck below the crossbar, which was a great play and perfectly legal. The one that happened to us (Green in game 5, if I’m not mistaken), was clearly above the crossbar and, as such, was immediately waved off without even needing a review.

I agree on almost all counts, but he could have said, “That’s between me and the refs” or something that didn’t give that cringe-worthy soundbite. I guess, in time, he’ll get that savvy.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
I’d like to think that our guys care enough about tradition that that doesn’t come up. We’ve worn enough egg for stupid shit over the last 30 years that it’s nice to point out when the other guys do it, regardless of play.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
I’m not saying it’s not “shameful” or that he shouldn’t be ashamed…I guess what I’m trying to say is I don’t fault the Captain…who has quite possibly been the best player on the ice over the first two games…for trying to find something/anything to get his team an edge…to get the game moving again….every minute the hats are being cleaned up, the more the ice is tilting.
Crosby is so practiced with the media that it’s a little surprising to me that he doesn’t edit this stuff more. I guess it’s just his way. But I’m with you on this aspect Yoshie: Crosby has been seriously good these playoffs and is simply one of those guys that scores in big games. He annoys the crap out of me but his play is pretty much beyond reproach so far in this series.
I see things the other way. He’s not nearly practiced enough with the media, which is remarkable after the 3 years he’s been through. He’s honest. That’s the last thing you want out of a hockey player.

Very true. He’s ben hands-down their best player in this series.

Is Geno hurt?
What’s the deal there? Malkin seems to have disappeared more than Mike Green has for us.
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
Crosby’s undeniable talent is what makes his behavior so reprehensible. To me, it’s like the difference between A-Roid and Derek Jeter. I may hate them both because they’re Yankees, but I abso-fucking-lutely cannot stand A-Fraud. I at least respect Jeter.
For one moment, can you imagine Mark Messier, Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman, Jarome Iginla, or any other captain/star worth a shit ever making a comment like that?
Right. I can totally see Messier bitching out the refs. Messier would just be smart enough to tell an empty, unfunny joke in response to the question from the reporter instead of actually answering.
by Gould Old Days on May 5, 2009 9:24 AM EDT up reply actions
I can't stand Crosby, but....
But he was where he was supposed to be most of the time he was on the ice – camped out in front of our net, waiting to make those “garbage” goals happen. That’s not luck, that’s not preferential treatment, that’s a smart hockey player getting where he need to be.
I’ll definitely give him props for that. The whining, diving and complaining about hats I can do without.

Boudreau was not happy about two incidents in this game. He said Alexander Semin took a stick to the unmentionables from Brooks Orpik during their scrum in the first period. He also made an appeal for the league to look at Chris Kunitz’s cross-check to Varlamov’s throat/face during the melee that led to Crosby’s final goal.
I agree with Bruce. Both shots were well across the line. Orpik’s spear was clear. No argument at all. When I first saw the Kunitz cross check I whinced, but felt that Kunitz was going for the puck. Unfortunately, if he was going for the puck the lower end of his stick would have moved towards the goalie and the shaft would have moved away. It did the reverse and was clearly an intentional shot at th goalie. I do not think either will be penalized but I think they are both just as intentional as anything else we have seen in the playoffs.
by CapsFanSince1979 on May 4, 2009 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Kunitz stick to Varly’s head was nasty. Of course, the only time the league suspends anyone is if they fall and break their own face on the ice. I am not going to hold out hope that they’ll do anything about it.

What Orpik was doing to Semin when it was 4-2 was “gooning it up.” He was slashing at him hard, at best to draw a retaliation, and at worse to injure. Not regular agitator stuff.

Oh I’m with you there, the Orpik/Semin stuff needs to be carefully watched at a minimum going forward, but missing that spear in the first (IIRC) was inexcusable. That’s worth a league review more than the Kunitz cross check everyone’s in arms about.

Play of the game. . .
For all the goals, the hats, the hits, for me, the play of the game was the Caps killing off the 5-3 at the end of the first. I turned to my friend and said, “that’s the game, right there.” The Pens should have scored there. Put one in right at the end of the first, and the Caps are heading into the locker room feeling defeated. Instead, the Pens probably entered the locker room with Varly in their heads. Brilliant work by our PK and our keeper.
