I agree Sid is playing his **** off but he needs to balance it with the ability to be humble. He may not get back to this point, he plays for a small market team with lots of free agents after this season. Needs to act like a man and admit the other team is better.
By the way, that image is classic.
Well, it took Ronny Francis 9 years. It took Stevie about 13 years. Those guys had it worse considering the players around them.
what kind of leader would step and say "yeah they're better..." and then get on the ice and play? thats a crazy statement....its a young team and the red wings have done a fantastic job of shutting them down...i guess being a league mvp, scoring title holder, and a captain of an nhl team all by the time you're 20 means you're a failure lol....just wish they'd stretch this thing out...dont want to wait til october to watch hockey again lol
I'm not saying a leader would say they're better. He's said the wings were a good team, etc.
But, a class leader wouldn't complain about refs, NHL rules, etc. A good leader would get the extra something out of his players (Malkin).
Personal awards don't mean anything unless you can win a cup. Every player says that. I'm sick of the media taggin crosby as the next great one. Was sick of it since day one.
He's got some growing up to do. Both as captain and as a player. It'll come, but he's certainly got some work ahead of him to be the complete package.

he's doin alright so far i'd say....already out pacing gretzky...along way to go agreed, but the kid is "solid" himself...friggin good game so far though, prob best one yet
I'm not much of a hockey guy.. but I did watch a few hockey games before the playoffs... But I turned on the TV tonight and starting watching from the 2nd OT to the end...
It was a good game.. It must have been tiring for the players though.. DAMN!
Great game, bad result, chit happens, I need a nap real bad. This getting to work at 6:30 a.m. after a 3 OT game isn't good. It was to the point that I didn't care who scored I just wanted to go to sleep....lol
I'm here to eat a little crow. Lastnight, actually all day yesterday, I was a little too confident. I was expecting total dominance by the wings.
That being said, this was one of the best games I have seen in a long dang time. Props to the pens for playing a complete game. Takes a lot of will to play hard knowing that if you don't score in 30 seconds, your dead.
Ill take the ribbing for a day or so. Then, tomorrow night, its on once again.

Hey man. Seriously, Pens played a great game. Wings played a great game. Fleury was the key for the Pens. Wings out everythinged the Pens from the 3rd period on except when it mattered.
On the bus ride to work, i tried getting po'd at the result of the game. Couldn't do it. Hard as i tried, there wasn't a depression I could muster or a disdain for the outcome of the game that i could hang my hat on. It was frustrating no doubt but i sat watching the game with my Pens fan roommate and at the end, i said 'wow dude, that was an awesome game'.

Espn 'forums' are pretty funny to read. 2 percent substance and 98 percent lame trash talk.
I can't believe fans of either team are still using refs and bad calls as reasons for losses. At the moment, I think any and al bad calls for both teams have cancelled each other out. And shoot, the game last night was a game where both teams got a free one and couldn't do anything with it.

I thought the Red Wings were going to take it... They seemed to have contorl most of the OT's... But then again I'm not much of a Hockey guy... Since I don't have a Hockey team.. I have to go with underdog situation... GO PENS!
What about the SJ Sharks!! (home town team) HAHA just kidding.
Last night was one of the best games I think I've seen. By the end though I was just glad it was over so I could go to sleep. Can't wait for tomorrow now, should be a good game. As far as the refs go, there were bad calls on both sides, just part of the game. GO WINGS!
