Marty looked scared, and committed real early on that one.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
No comments on the game - but Edzo needs to be quiet. 9 times out of 10 he makes a stupid, unnecessary, inane or just plain incorrect point. Let Pierre talk, whether people like him or not, he knows the game better than anyone on television...

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
I thought the Devils should have won this game. They missed some really close chances, but could have had 4 or 5 goals in regulation and I think they'll bounce back and we'll have a good series. I wasn't impressed with the Kings all that much. Quick, yes. The team, no. I think if the Devils play the way they played the Flyers and Rangers and go full force on the forecheck, they'll get to their D.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
I think the fact that the Kings won this game, after a 9 day layoff does not bode well for the Devils in this series.
Kings will be better on Saturday...
That was a great move on Kopitar on the OTG....good stuff...

Yes, that's Darren Pang. He understands the game fairly well, but not at the overall level that Pierre does. Panger has got him beat with goalies though...for obvious reasons.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
The subtle interference that happened on every shift to players on both teams last night was absolutely maddening.
That being said. 3 more wins Kings. DO IT.

The net effect was feeling like they were skating in mud. Blech...Whatever, I really hope the NHL doesn't think this is the way forward.

If anything, he should've committed earlier and surprised Kopitar, who fumbled that pass a bit. Easy to say in hindsight though.guiner wrote:Marty looked scared, and committed real early on that one.

This could be the Pens in the finals if we would have just traded Malkin for Brown, Kopitar and Quick.

that was the head coach in him! I can't decide if when Doc asks Edzo's coaching questions, or makes a reference to his coaching, if it is a subtle jab!SolidSnake wrote:2 seconds into the game, "they may need to think about switching up the lines."mikey287 wrote:No comments on the game - but Edzo needs to be quiet. 9 times out of 10 he makes a stupid, unnecessary, inane or just plain incorrect point.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
"Travis Zajac wears a piece of tape on his leg inside the sock with a 4 leaf clover drawn on it, as a good luck charm that dates back to his days in junior, when he picked up the habit from a homeless man he found living under a bridge one night when he was out with his friends playing mailbox baseball with the louisville slugger he got for his 15th birthday, even though he wanted some new skates or maybe even rollerblades so he could play hockey in the summer, since it gets pretty warm in southern manitoba about May, and that lasts all the way into late october sometimes, theres simply no mountains to hold the cold fronts in and create the environment they need to get a good sheet of ice to play on. Who does that remind you of Edzo?"

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
Doc knows the game and serves up soft balls for Edzo to hit (so does Pierre with these lead-in questions, "Eddie, fair to say that Alex Semin just needs to get that puck on net instead of making a pretty play?" [long pause] ... [dead air] "Yeah, Pierre...stick on stick, stick on puck, forwards have the D, D have the forwards"penny lane wrote:that was the head coach in him!

Let Pierre talk, whether people like him or not, he knows the game better than anyone on television...
And Edzo picks on the most ridiculous things in games...like how about last night, on the power play, Zach Parise is in the corner waiting for a 2-on-2 scrum to dissipate at the point is Peter Harrold. They have the scrum surrounded on either side, the guys on the half-boards are instructed to kick it to the corner. If it looks like they can't figure it out, then the guy from the corner jumps in and tries to get it to the point and the point then changes the angle of the play by throwing it across the ice to the weak side. Boy wonder there goes, "look at Parise, he has to get in on that puck battle...ok roll it..." and then Parise joins the fray and Edzo just goes into dead air for a second...
With all due respect, Edzo has no business telling Zach Parise what to do out there. Zach knows better than you. He's already been more impactful in his career than you were. And he probably could have coached the Penguins better as an 18 year old than you did when you were 40 or whatever...

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
I personally like Pierre. He lives and breaths this sport and that comes across during the broadcast. I mean sure he gets caught up on certain players, but that doesn't really bother me because he is pretty fair across the board.
I agree with mikey. I think Pierre is the best out there and has the most knowledge...

Haha I hope that is Emerick taking jabs at Edzo, I wish Edzo's tenure in Pitt could be erased. It's kind of embarassing

I know it's for TV purposes and understand why, but there has only been one game played in like the last 8 days. Kind of sucks.

It is the new NHL. Might as well quit complaining about it. Pens will have to learn how to adjust to it and learn to do it themselves.Malkamaniac wrote:The subtle interference that happened on every shift to players on both teams last night was absolutely maddening.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
One of the big bullet points in the GM meetings, is how interference, hooking, and other obstruction fouls are handled. CBA changes are often a good time for transition in that respect, for whatever reason.
