This team needs his talent, his leadership and his prescence on the ice. Not that being top seed is extremely important they are at risk at dropping below the two if this keeps up.
on a side note....how embarassing was was it for that fan last night between the 1st and 2nd pd dancing to CottoneyedJoe when they were having lighting issues?
COuldnt the cameramen found some better looking women to show..some of them HAD to be dancing too....and for those who never been to a game......man...there are some absolute BABES that go to hockey games.
IMO, it's beyond Crosby, they have injuries all over the place. You're not going to win alot of games when you're playing a ton of minor leaguers like the Pens have been forced to do, those guys are in the AHL for a reason. Now you have Brooks Orpik hurt and his status is unknown. I'm optimistic that a lot of these guys will be back from injury, Sid included, and they get rolling again. Minus Malkin, I wouldn't want to face this team in the playoffs when they get their regulars back from injury.
