I am not sure what I think of this team.......generally speaking, I am not overly impressed.... I see a second round exit this season and pray that I am wrong....they dont seem capable of extended runs of quality play at a time of year where it is necessary to do so.....The Leafs have played well of late, but they are the worst team in the Eastern Conference on the season, and should be 2 pts for the Pens.............Fleury is not consistent, except in the fact that you count on at least one soft goal per game.............Goligoski right now is putrid......absolutely putrid and he has been one of my favorites over the past two seasons....the officiating really sucks.....not sure why Colton whORR seems to be allowed to run over Fleury...but a cross check to the face of the next player who runs him over is in order....also the power play where Phaneuf supposedly possessed the puck blowing the play dead shows that Walkom must still have last nights manshake in his eyes.........and Phaneuf is one of the most OVERRATED players in the NHL........once SirGay is back, McKee will need to take GoGos ice time.......I also have raved about Jordan Staals game this year, but he really has needed to provide more offense in the abscence of Evgeni Malkin and has not........as I write this their other big issue, their power play lets them down again and this game will go to a shoot out. Lets see if Fleury can outduel JS Giguerre................Orpik was huge today with 3 assists and Sidney Crosby had yet another strong game, netting goals 46 and 47 to retake the NHL lead, and points 93 and 94 on the season. I loved watching Cooke tie a career high in goals with number 15 and Tyler Kennedy got back on the board for number 11. Finally Pascal Dupuis who for my money is making a real bid at a spot on the top line for good gets the game winner in the shootout......I am very happy for old Duper who just might lose his identity as a whirlwind forechecker/role player with hands of stone! Finally once Evelyn and SirGay come back do you reunite the top line combos?..........Anyway, two points that keep the pressure on the Devils, who are currently losing to the Flyers as we speak............
