Great shot by Malkin, and great job by MO getting to the puck before the Capital player could skate it out. Also, Thibault is playing surprisingly well.

Man, now I kind of want to watch the Black Donnelies.

Another strong period by Ti-bo. But it'll be all his fault if the Caps tie or win this in the 3rd right people?

Malkin once again is doing a great Mario impersonation.
T-bo..get it freakin right man

actually, i believe he was talking about billy blanks. he's been doing well.

Michel Ouellet is playing damn good hockey today. A couple of blocked shots, some good board work and nice hustle. Wish I could say the same for Malone. I think I could have skated faster than he did on that 2 on 1. Sheesh...

Don't worry. I'll make sure my $5 fine gets sent right to your front door officer.

Am I watching two different games here? Malone has worked on the board and been responsible for alot of those deep hold ins. His PK has been excellent. Until that very last play, Michel Ouellet was looking like the worst forward on the Pens today.

Agreed.

How is he a hinderance?

All he does on offense is control the puck along the boards - he is the opposite of what Crosby needs - Crosby needs a guy who is at the circle in the slot or in front of the net ready to score - Malone obviously is not that guy - he garners no respect out there and so Crosby gets dogged handling the puck around the net - Malone is dead weight on that 1st line- notice he then shifted down to the 2nd line and they of course did nothing

Then after Malkin scores - about 5 seconds later what is the D pairing - oh yes the great Melichar/Scuderi who allow one guy to skate right between them and get a shot off - As the announcer noted, Melichar was covering air on his side - there was NOBODY skating in from that side - what an idiot.

its $10

Wow, milk sure is getting expensive up at the Jr. high. When I was in high school, $2.50 would get me a full lunch.

that sedin commercial is pretty funny. does the NHL have a new marketing team this year?

Hull mentions the guy I covet, for the upcoming trade deadline... Norstrom aptly called a "warrior". Would be huge difference maker in a close physical game like this.

$2.50? Wow, you got hosed. I'd get a lunch with better food than a college cafeteria for $1.50. I could use that extra dollar for some much needed caffeine!

They are teamed up with NBC's marketing department. Rather than the OLN group who came out with the crappy "my nhl" warrior series last year.

Well, $1.50 got you a carton of milk, a chicken patty sandwich and a side of tater tots but I'd usually snag a red powerade because those little milks never did anything for me - thus the extra dollar.

He's one of my favorite players in the sport - he's Eaton with an edge to his game and obvious leadership qualities

Inserting him with Whitney, moving down Oprik and only playing one bad dman instead of 2 would make them a legit contender in the east because their top 4 dmen would be the best in the eastern conference - perfect blend of offensive punch + stay at home excellence

Someone wrote and directed that Sedin commercial. Like an actual name.

After a trip to NHL.com = Jason Reitman, director of Thank You For Smoking and son of Ghostbusters and Animal House producer Ivan.

It'd be great to get Norstrom.

did emerick say "87 and 9" in regards to the crosby vs ovechkin battle?

Fair enough.

Always worth it for the tater tots. Tater triangles, too.

Malkin's been skating kind of silly today. I still think his legs are kind of rattled from that boarding.
