Unchallenged shots?

What, are we supposed to send our defensemen full steam ahead so they can get torched by these wingers and then we can have Fleury facing breakaways instead?

Nope. Didn't both of Recchi's goals come late in the period...

who do you want him to replace? cant replace Malkin because of his PP goal yesterday... Cant replace Malone, because he has a Hat Trick today... And you cant replace Recchi because he has 2 PP goals today, not to mention he has had a Hat Trick this season with 3 PP goals.

Staal said he's uncomfortable with the pressures of being the set up guy too often, that's part of the reason he's never with Crosby, the game is just a little too fast for him and admittedly so...so, no, no he shouldn't be...

Malone doesntplay on the top PP. Staal replaces whitney on the 5-3PP unit.

I don't think Staal is a good enough passer to play on the #1 unit just yet.

As long as they call the same thing in 5 minutes on the Isles I have no problem with that call.
