I'm apparently crazy behind but yeah Berny did good on that play. Also Arcobello legit sucks.

I love how Crosby is literally throwing his body around and crashing into the corners because Chris Kunitz is too loving slow and lazy to do it

He's not lazy, he's just painfully slow. When a guy passes the event horizon into Too Old whatever speed he has just vanishes. c.f. Rob Scuderi, Craig Adams

That's at least two wicked breakout passes from Carey tonight.

I know it looks like Kunitz is being lazy on some plays but it's really more him realizing "nope, I have no chance of getting to that puck in time to even make the guy work for it" and backing off.

Give Kunitz credit for at least being smart enough to do that. Scuderi's legs went two years ago and he still chases hopeless pucks and takes himself completely out of plays.

He's not seeing anything but he's probably hearing Sidney Crosby saying "go ahead, take Kunitz off my line, see if you're still employed in the morning"

I am, um, not a Johnston booster, but it's pretty obvious playing Kunitz isn't Johnston's call.

I just saw gally's goal.

Firstly, the only goal that was more BGally than that was the one where he high-sticked it down before knocking it in the goal.
Secondly, how the gently caress was that a goal? Even he was surprised.

I sincerely doubt Crosby is that stupid. I don't buy that rumor at all.

They say it was a good goal prior to contact with the goalie, basically.

All I can say is that if that had been scored against Montreal I would be pretty annoyed.

At a guess? No kicking motion and the officials decided that Gallagher was checked in to Mrazek.

It's not stupidity, it's loyalty!

You really think Kunitz got on the Canadian olympic team because anyone on earth thought he was one of the 12 best Canadian forwards? I mean I could be wrong but I think the fact he's Crosby's BFF is more than mere rumor at this point

I'm OK with being wrong about this too though, if playing Kunitz big minutes is all Johnston's idea that'll get him fired all the sooner
