Put your big boy pants on and deal with it - there's still 0 losses to go before they're out. I hope the men in the lockerroom aren't pee-ing their pants, too.  I wasn't aware that Malkin was left alone all season and just now is dealing with teams focusing on him.  bhaw wrote:Flyers in our zone was like watching a bad roller hockey mismatch.

I don't know how better to describe it... it looks exactly how roller hockey teams play D when they are playing a better team. Just hope to stay between your guy and the goal and maybe it will work out.  My breaking point with DB will be if the Pens come out with a 0 forward PP in Philly. For me, giving up 0 shorties to blow a playoff game should be enough to show it doesn't work against the team they are playing. If that's not adjusted, I have no faith in our coaching.  So who is the 0nd defenseman who should be out there on PP? Martin? Orpik? Might as well decline the penality.  Guinness wrote:Come on dude. Malkin is being double and triple covered.

Fleury should not start the next game. Also RS has one more season before I am calling for his head. We have no backup goalie worth a damn. We have Engeland and Lovejoy as a top 0 pairing. Pathetic job RS. Pathetic. I will give him one more year before I am calling for his head. DB needs fired immediately. Martin needs dumped for anyone stupid enough to take his worthless arse.

Sorry but I don't buy why we're making excuses for a guy who led the league in scoring and is the likely Hart winner. He bears the burden of expectations, whether he likes it or not. He's had a bullseye on his chest all season and it hasn't mattered until now.  Guinness wrote:Come on dude. Malkin is being double and triple covered. There is no room for anyone in the O-zone.
