I completely agree! I can’t believe after he set up Chimera’s goal, one of the commentators (Pierre?) said until then he’d been standing around the whole time! WHAT? Idiots…complete idiots.

i dislike Pierre McSUCK and his idiotic sideline commentary, but if he wants to keep bashing Sasha forcing our beloved #28 to react appropriately in order to shut him up, KEEP IT COMIN’!

I also hate that they compared our injury riddled season to the Penguins’. Ours is completely different. We lost our far and away 1C. They lost their 1C who is only slightly (which is questionable) better than Malkin. They have a lot more depth, especially at center. This makes the comparison void. NBCSN just loves them some Penguins. It’s annoying that even when they’re not broadcasting a Pittsburgh game, they’re talking about them.

Sounds about right, though I would counter by saying the best way to get Holtby moar starts is by keeping him upstairs in the NHL. Agree that Vokoun is our guy, but the nagging nature of his groin injury is worrisome.

It was “Ovi” most of the time in the 2nd, “holtby” for basically all of the 3rd.

Don’t think so.

Holtby is still pretty green. He needs more starts, but he can’t be the guy you depend on for 40 gms a season.

Neuvy and Vokes both were wretched in the first 25 games or so. They both got better. Vokes got moar better, although Nuevy hotter later.

Vokoun is still the guy. Or should be. -P
