The lines were just mixed up after a penalty kill. Iginla is still on the 2nd line, and they've looked very good the past several shifts.

Surprised by the subject right now. I thought that was Iggy's best game as a Pen

Regardless, wouldn't trade Backlund for him.

Who would? Jokinen is past his prime and was never more than a generic top 6 forward.. Backlund, whatever anyone may think of his potential, has yet to reach his.

I think this place must seriously hate Crosby. He scores a hat trick and barely a mention of it, instead a bunch of talk about a guy that didn't even play in the game.

Crosby nearly won the game himself, and the shots he took were extremely tricky. He delays then shoots instantly I'm not sure I've ever seen a player that can get the puck off his stick so quickly. Incredible payer that deserves far more respect than he gets around here.

I have to disagree.
Iginla looked really good tonight.

I thought this was Iginla's best game for the Pens. He was showing a lot more speed and agression than he has previously. The game was all about Crosby though. No doubt who the super star is on the Pens even among all the stars they have.

In non-important news

My sister just sent me a txt that she sees Vokoun, Iggy, and Morrow out at this semi-nice Italian restaurant / semi-bar in pgh. I guess the old married guys gotta celebrate the victory a little tamer than the others lol

Pageau is one hell of a player. The Sens have a lot of nice rookies but he might be the best of the bunch. What a steal in the draft he was! A fourth rounder and I'd take him over Sven.

Drafted in the same year?

The Sens have something going on in their scouting and drafting dept, no doubt!

I'm sorry but that's just absurd.

Yeah, a statement like that should be based on more observation and consideration of situation. Lots of armchair GMs demonstrate how qualified the 30 guys who get the jobs have to be

Yup, I don't get it. Crosby is the best player in hockey right now. It's not even close.

Game is at 5:30 on CBC.

[RedMileDJ]

No one in here?

[puckluck2]

Malkin turns over the puck way too much.

[JurassicTunga12]

Glen Healy...

[RedMileDJ]

Wow... Nice shot on Calgary. Fata I hate the CBC!

[puckluck2]

Thanks Healy..Iginla knows this isn't Calgary.

[Igottago]

Wow Healy needs to be punched in the face.
