Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

Penguins vs. Blackhawks Open Thread

Blackhawks Blog: Second City Hockey

All right folks, we're almost there.  Just two more preseason games to get through this weekend and then we're well on our way to the regular season next Thursday.  I know we've all grown to hate Mondays with this whole work and school thing many of us do, but come Monday morning we're just four days away.  So maybe it won't be such a crappy day after all.

Looking ahead to tonight's game, the Penguins will be without (deep breath) Sidney Crosby (aforementioned hip discomfort), Ryan Craig, Evgeni Malkin, Mike Comrie, Dustin Jeffrey, Brooks Orpik, Zybnek Michalek and Dr. Ben Lovejoy.

Both Marc-Andre Fleury and Brad Thiessen will be splitting duties between the pipes tonight, so we can at least get a look/listen to that.  Full lineup after the jump.

for anyone who hasn’t see the new Sid NHL commercial, I highly recommend watching. Probably top 3 commercials I’ve seen Sid do.
I also posted a FanShot about it.

Hmm. It’s to be expected that they would be super-conservative about injuries in the pre-season, but I’m starting to suspect that something may actually be wrong here and I’m furthing suspecting that this something may have been plaguing him for years (remember how he looked in the 2009 playoffs? like he was a step behind?)

He doesn’t seem to concerned about it.
He said if this was a regular season game, he would play. He also made the trip to Chicago and thinks he’ll play Sat.
Also, I’m not really sure what you mean by the 2009 playoffs…he had 30 points. It’s not like he straggled behind. I’d attribute that more to Nic Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Rafalski shadowing him every shift.

It wasn’t so evident in the Detroit series; I saw it more in the first two rounds. And, yeah, he did turn in a very solid performance, it just seemed to me like occasionally he was a step behind his usual self. Maybe I’m just being paranoid.

It’s funny, his first game back at Montreal the fans booed him and then he scored. And the Habs played abominably so by the end, the fans were screaming for him to come back. So much so that he got a standing ovation. I still have a soft spot for him.

by silvsiara on Oct 1, 2010 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I remember near the end of his last year in Montreal, they had a standing-O for him because the Bell Centre anounced that he said he didn’t want to leave Montreal because he loves their fans.

I spent a little time in the States as a kid. Saw Mario’s last game in the Civic against the Flyers. When I got back to Singapore, there wasn’t enough hockey to watch so I spent a lot of time following the teams I could watch. This meant a lot of the Devils & Wings (i know right?), some of the Sabres but the breakthrugh for hockey here were the Ducks… (Damn you Disney)

I followed multiple teams but the Pens always had a soft spot in my heart. When MArio saved the Pens, I discovered internet radio.
