Sidney Crosby Saw Red As The Penguins Fall In Game One Of 2008 Stanley Cup Finals To The Detroit Red Wings

Saturday May 24, 2008

Lets face it The Detroit Red Wings nailed Sidney Crosby with big hits whenever they had a chance slowing him down a bit at times. Please understand, both of these teams played a phenominal game and this is going to be one spectacular Stanley Cup Finals series. Detroit severly outshot Pittsburgh during the second and third periods 16 to 4 and 9 to 3 but Marc Andre Fleury made great saves. On the other end Chris Osgood picked up the shutout and played spectacular as well. What we have here are two great teams both with top goaltenders, and that makes for a great hockey game.

Pittsburgh will surely work more on getting shots on goal in future games and have as good of a chance of winning a game as Detroit. Tonight things went in Detroit's favor but the level of skill and talent both teams have will make the rest of the games go in anyone's favor.

Detroit won 4-0 and lead the series 1-0, game 2 is on Monday May 28th at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

Sidney Crosby's Second Assist On Remarkable Stealth Steal From Mike Richards Is Game Turning Point As Penguins Shutout Flyers In Game 5 Advancing To Stanley Cup Finals For First Time Since 1992

Sunday May 18, 2008

As it turns out Sidney Crosby had another strong playoffs performance as The Pittsburgh Penguins shutout The Philadelphia Flyers 6-0 to win The Eastern Conference Stanley Cup Playoffs Championship and advance to The Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in sixteen years.

As you probably know, back in 1992 it was Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr who led Pittsburgh to The Stanley Cup Finals (and won) but this year it’s a much younger captain in Sidney Crosby and overall younger team making the final run.

Here is what happened in Pittsburgh’s final game before taking their trip to the Stanley Cup Finals starting with Sidney Crosby.

Sidney Crosby’s shot, just over two minutes into the first period, was deflected into The Flyers’ net off of Ryan Malone’s skate to open scoring for Game 5 of this playoffs series. And we don’t stop there, Malone assisted on Malkin’s goal by mid first period putting the Penguins up 2-0.

The fact is, the first two goals were the beginning of a spectacular 6-0 shutout of The Flyers administered by a young, hard skating, Penguins team that not only is loaded with offense but played a solid defensive game as well. That’s why Marc Andre Fleury only had to face 21 shots as he made his third shutout of the 2008 playoffs. Truth is, close to mid second period Fleury was brilliant with big saves on two shots coming from Daniel Briere and Geoff Hartnell. I’d like to tell you more about what happened right after those key saves that marked the game turning point with a spectacular play by none other than Sidney Crosby.

Here’s how Sidney Crosby turned the momentum of the game in Pittsburgh’s favor. Quite simply, as Mike Richards was winding up for a shot on Marc Andre Fleury he didn’t see Sidney Crosby come up from behind robbing him of the puck. As the loose puck traveled into The Flyers’s end, Crosby took possession and passed it directly to Marian Hossa. Of course, Hossa blasted off a shot right into the net making it a 3-0 game. This gave Sidney Crosby his second assist of the game and seventeenth of the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Before the second period came to an end Pittsburgh buried two more pucks behind Martin Biron into Philadelphia’s net. First on the power play Ryan Malone scored once more assisted by Sergei Gonchar. Then in the dying seconds of the period Pittsburgh took control of the puck. Martin Biron stopped Maxime Talbot’s shot but don’t worry Jordan Staal was there to backhand the rebound giving Pittsburgh a commanding 5-0 lead.

Consider this: The Flyers despise their interstate / divisional Pittsburgh rivals, are known for their physical play (including their reputation to brawl), and were down five goals by the third period. With that said you would expect the third period to erupt into an all out hockey brawl reminiscent of the “Broad Street Bullies” era of NHL hockey but guess what? The Flyers played a remarkably clean game of playoff hockey. It’s true they didn’t even pick up a single penalty during the third period, nor a goal for that matter.

In fact, the only goal during the third period came four minutes in and was credited to Pascal Dupuis. Let me just quickly recap how this goal came about. As Marian Hossa, traded to Pittsburgh from Atlanta along with Dupuis, took the wrist shot it simply bounced off of Dupuis’ leg and into the net. By now Pittsburgh was up 6-0 and the score remained locked in by the end of the game.

Bottom line is The Penguins have emerged The 2008 Eastern Conference NHL Champions by beating The Flyers in the first playoffs version of “The Battle of Pennsylvania”.

In post game ceremonies Captain Sidney Crosby accepted The Prince of Whales Trophy awarded annually to the Conference Champs. Don’t worry Crosby knew better than to touch the trophy preventing the superstition of bad luck from coming true.

Finally, Sidney Crosby and many other young Penguins will make their first trip to The Stanley Cup Finals to face the winner of the Detroit Red Wings and Dallas Stars series which is currently at 3-2 for Detroit.

Sidney Crosby And The Penguins Unable To Sweep The Never Surrender Flyers In Game 4 of The Battle of Pennsylvania

Thursday May 15, 2008

The "Battle of Pennsylvania" went in favor of The Flyers for the first time this Eastern Stanley Cup playoffs finals as they contained Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Marian Hossa, while peppering Marc Andre Fleury with 33 shots. Three of those shots went in, all during the first period, with a fourth by Jeffery Lupul on an empty net at the end of the game. Jordan Stall managed two goals during the third period that quieted nervous Flyers fans but it wasn't enough. The Flyers beat The Pens 4-2.

Sidney Crosby Gets Two Assists And First Star Of The Game As The Penguins Are One Game Away From Sweeping The Flyers In The 2008 Eastern Conference Playoffs Finals

Tuesday May 13, 2008

Make no mistake, The Pittsburgh Penguins have a powerful grip on their playoffs series against The Philadelphia Flyers. After winning Game 3 (4-1), Sidney Crosby and his Penguins are just one game away from a sweep, and a trip to The 2008 Stanley Cup playoffs.

While only getting one shot on goal, Sidney Crosby more than made up for it with his vintage playmaking skills that got him two points on assists. Thats not all, Sidney Crosby now leads playoffs scoring with 19 points in 12 games and was named the first star of the game.

An unlikely goal from Ryan Whitney just five minutes into the game started the scoring for the Penguins. About two minutes later Hossa scored a goal. Both of these goals were assisted by Sidney Crosby. R.J. Umberger also scored during the first period to pick up the only goal for the Flyers this game. The Penguins got two more goals during the third, one by Ryan Malone and a late empty netter by Marian Hossa.

The Penguins won the game and now lead the series 3-0, just one game away from sweeping The Flyers and heading to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Sidney Crosby's First Goal Counts But His Second Doesnt But With Other Goals From Hossa, Staal, and Talbot's Game Winner The Penguins Defeated The Flyers 4-2 Taking The Easter Conference Finals Lead 2-0

Sunday May 11, 2008

The Penguins have done it again with Sidney Crosby opening scoring for the game with the first goal. A second goal by Crosby was deemed inconclusive by video replay and the officials denied the goal. Hossa scored the second goal for The Penguins and Staal the final goal on an empty net. But it was the third goal by fourth liner Maxime Talbot that was the game winner. When Crosby speaks of those guys stepping up, it guys like Talbot and others on the thrid and forth lines who manage to contribute when really needed.

The Penguins officially lead the series 2-0 and will be heading to Philidelphia for Game 3 on Tuesday May 11.

Sidney Crosby Managed To Score His First Playoff Goal In Six Games While Evgeni Malkin Finished Off Game 1 Of The Bitter Battle Of Pennsylvania 2008 Eastern Confernece Finals

Friday May 9, 2008

Here's the deal the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers have a long heated intrastate division rivalry that has been going on for over 40 years. In a nut shell, Sidney Crosby and The Penguins absolutely despise The Philadephia Flyers. There is a lot of bad blood between these two teams in just the last few seasons alone, not to mention the last fourty years.

Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that this is the first time in NHL history these two same state foes have faced eachother for the Eastern Conference finals and a chance to make it to the final round where the winner will emerge the 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs winner.

Tonight, in Game 1 of The 2008 Eastern Conference finals The Penguins beat The Flyers 4-2.

And best of all, Sidney Crosby managed to tie the game 2-2 during the first period by scoring his first goal in the last six of ten playoff games this season. The goal came at 14:11 of the first period when Marian Hossa intercepted a clearing pass, made by Flyers goalie Martin Biron, and passing it to Sidney Crosby. But thats not all, this was a key game tying goal for Sidney Crosby because it broke his 5 game goalless streak and gave The Penguins the momentum they needed to win the game. Evgeni Malkin finished the goal scoring with two dazzling goals five minutes apart with the game winner right at the end of the first period, and another early in the second.

The Pittsburgh Penguins Hot Playoffs Winning Streak Ends At Seven After Henrik Lundqvist Shuts Them Out To Lose Game 4 Against The Rangers

Thursday May 1, 2008

The Pittsburgh Penguins' were shutout and lost a game for the first time during the 2008 NHL playoffs. Here is what the Sidney Crosby Show Blog had to say...

Ugh. That wasn't pretty. The Pens could not break the Rangers' goalie. That, and they shot themselves in the collective foot with their 110 turnovers (practically every single Pen turned the puck over at least once tonight). Sid didn't play like we all know he can, Ryan Malone missed on a beautiful shorthanded breakaway, and Evgeni Malkin may have shifted the momentum of the game in favor of the Rangers when he missed a penalty shot. Jaromir Jagr, Brandon Dubinsky, Brendan Shanahan, and Henrik Lundqvist won the game for their team. The Rangers played the same game they've been playing throughout this series (complete with Jagr again doing the bulk of the work), but the exception tonight was that Lundqvist provided his team with a brick wall in front of their net. The Pens did NOT play terribly by any stretch of the imagination - they had TONS of scoring chances - but Lundqvist was clearly in the zone tonight and NOTHING got him out of it. He was bound and determined to get his second career shutout tonight - and he did. Read the complete post here.

Evgeni Malkin Two Goals Sidney Crosby Two Assits And The Penguins Playoffs Hot Streak Continues As They Remain Undefeated Beating Rangers 5-3 In Game 3

Tuesday April 29, 2008

The Pittsburgh Penguins have done it again remaining undefeated during the 2008 Stanley Cup playoffs for the Eastern Conference. Sidney Crosby picked up 2 assists, Evgeni Malkin picks up an assist and 2 goals (including the game winner), Marian Hossa scores the first goal of the game, Ryan Malone got the final goal of the game and even big Georges Laraque got in on the action with the second goal of the game for Pittsburgh. Jodie from The Sidney Crosby Show Blog always does a great game recap. Here is what she had to say about game 3...

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! WHAT A GAME!!! Before the game even started, FSN Pittsburgh addressed the questionable yet unpunished behavior of IFHSA™ (throughout this series. They showed a replay of the face scrap, the slashes, and the fight with Giant Hal Gill in front of MAF at the end of Game 2. Upon seeing it again, IFHSA™ actually took a swing at Gill with his stick as Gill was dropping his gloves. This guy needs to be dealt with. That's another difference between Jarrko Ruutu and IFHSA™ - Ruutu wants to irritate people; IFHSA™ ( I effin hate Sean Avery) wants to hurt them. Read the complete post here.

Marc Andre Fleury Gets The Shutout Jordan Staal Gets The Game Winning Goal And Sidney Crosby Keeps Rangers Busy In Game 2 Of Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Semi Finals To Win 2-0 The Penguins Lead Series 2-0

Sunday April 27, 2008

The Rangers did their best to contain Sidney Crosby but he kept them busy all game. The truth is New York didn’t even allow Crosby one point this Stanley Cup playoffs game. But here’s the thing with Crosby he didn’t need any points to play his incredible game. As it turns out Crosby played a physical game, set up many scoring chances, and kept his opponents focused on himself allowing his team mates to showcase their skills.

Even with the stellar play of goalie Henrik Lundqvist, Jordan Staal managed to get the game winning goal during the second period on the power play where Crosby, Hossa, and Malone all failed. Marc Andre Fleury and The Penguins were able to kill off two key power plays The Rangers were trying to take advantage of during the third period. The result? Nothing for The Rangers to be happy about.

The Penguins won their first six playoffs games in a row, a first in franchise history. Final score 2-0 for Pittsburgh who lead the series 2-0 and will face The Rangers on April 29 at Madison Square Gardens in New York for game 3 of the Eastern Conference semi final series.

Sidney Crosby Misses Regulation Season Finale As Penguins Miss Opportunity To Win NHL Eastern Conference Title
Flyers Shutout Penguins 2-0

Sunday April 6, 2008

Coach Michel Therrien's choice to keep Sidney Crosby out of the final regular season game for the 2007-08 NHL season may or may not have been a good move. In the short term Crosby could have helped his team beat The Philadelphia Flyers giving The Penguins an Eastern Conference title, which they have not held since the 1991-92 NHL season. Instead, Sidney Crosby was scratched from the line up and The Flyers shutout The Penguins 2-0.

Considering the brutally physical style of play Philadelphia is known for, as evidenced last Wednesday when they punished the Penguins with a focus on Crosby, keeping Sidney safe for the playoffs was smart. However, it may have cost The Penguins the Eastern Conference title which they would have won if they beat the Flyers. Instead the Eastern Conference title now belongs to The Montreal Canadiens for the first time in 19 years (1988-89). In the end The Pittsburgh Penguins winning The Stanley Cup is the ultimate goal so Therrien made a respectable call. Sidney Crosby will have time to rest his ankle and mentally focus for the upcoming NHL playoffs.

The Penguins appear to be coming together for the playoffs. Sidney Crosby, Marc Andre Fleury, Marian Hossa, and Gary Roberts are all good to go. After missing 43 games due to a broken leg, veteran Gary Roberts returned in time to warm up with one regulation game before heading into the playoffs.

Today’s loss has seeded The Penguins against The Ottawa Senators during the first round of the playoffs. Last season Ottawa showed Pittsburgh the door after a 5 game playoff series. This year Pittsburgh has improved their depth and experience while Ottawa is not meeting last year’s standard of play. The Senators should not be underestimated and the first round will be a tough challenge for Pittsburgh.

Even though The Penguins lost this afternoon to The Flyers, their overall season performance was fantastic and they finished the regular season with The Atlantic Division title and a record of 102 points ( 47 wins, 27 losses, and 8 overtime losses) all with Sidney Crosby missing 28 games. Sidney Crosby missed the games with a right high ankle sprain and finished his third season with with 24 goals, 48 assists, and 72 points.
