They all talk about the system, Detroit, Pens etc. How often do coaches switch it up? Why can’t they watch tapes and get a good understanding of what they are trying to do or what they will do? There has to be a pattern to it, a coach resorting to a same set of plays in each scenario. I know there are a million plays they use and variations of each, but surely even subconsciously a coach calls the same stuff.

by AngelaMc on Nov 11, 2008 8:56 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Having watched the Pens for years now, I have no clue what the coach’s game plan is from game to game. Lemieux was often paired with a grinder on one side (Tocchet) and finesse on the other (Jagr). Crosby needs a sniper on one side (Satan) and a speedster on the other (Talbot, Kennedy). But even knowing that it’s so hard to say what they are going to work out on any given night.

I think I said this once already – but this is ridiculous. Yay for Jordan Staal though – he’s been working hard for those goals – it’s good to see him showing up on the score sheet finally.

 Remember Talbot. Game 5. Dying seconds. Fleury on the bench.

I think Emerick just lost his lung on the last Crosby/Osgood shot/save.

I honestly thought it was over more than once. Like so bad that I was listening to the call and checking my facebook. But it turned out to be an awesome game.

In a 13 goal game how do you even choose what to show for the highlight reel?

I think that just winds up being a replay of the entire game at that point.

Now that i’ve regained my composure!!! Everything about this win feels so good. Gotta jet now, have kept people waiting due to my hockey game, going to bug some Calgary fans who are all a little nuts about Toronto being in town this eve, not even sure what the score is?
