jsm7302 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It will be a joke if he gets suspended. Trouba wasn't even going for the hit; he was going for the puck and Crosby is going to a high traffic area, contact was incidental. There is no story here other than Crosby is made of glass and still plays hard in the hard areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The still shot of shoulder to shoulder IMO makes it almost impossible that Trouba hit him in the head with the elbow. The still shot has troubas arms tucked in, usually after a hit the arms come up, and Crosbys head already snapped back when the still shot is taken. Almost impossible at the same time for Trouba to elbow him, tuck his arms with that the screenshot shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I missed the beginning of the game, does anyone have clips of Trouba on Guentzel? The hit on Crosby is nothing - Seravelli’s take is correct. Pens fans on pointy boards are wildin, but if Trouba ebows Guentzel, that’s another story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The suspension we should all be talking about after last night's game is Malkin, not Trouba. Malkin checked Borowiecki in the face not a few weeks back and sat for 4, and he just did the same fucking thing to Rooney. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Sometimes guys get hurt.. Doesn't mean it was dirty, doesn't mean it was illegal.. This falls firmly into the "shit happens" file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Right call but sad to see - Crosby playing so well at his age is something we may not get to see again. Dude has been killing us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodzinski was dreadful in his one game. Guy had a chance and blew it IMO. Priority is Reaves, but if not I rather have Hunt. The 4th line's job is to hit and make sure the puck doesn't end up in their own net. Hunt is solid enough to do that and provide decent forecheck pressure.

Also....Nemeth.....dressing him is useless if he will not play, let Hajek or Jones play instead. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I think Nemeth was there solely in case Lindgren agitated his injury to the point where he couldn't go on. If Lindgren is good to go, play Motte or Hunt. Or...keep rotating guys with the 4th line. I really liked that last night. It added talent and they had a few good opportunities, especially with Laf. Gets our best players more ice time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets our best players more ice time. I don't understand why people keep pointing out how Nemeth dressed and didn't play as if Gallant made a clown move. I think it's pretty clear as you said they were not sure Lindgren was going to hold up - at all for that matter and Gallant wasn't willing to risk having to play with 5 D two of them being Braun and Schneider at this stage of their careers. But the risk that Lindgren could play even at less than 100% was well worth taking. Nemeth was there on the bench for insurance only as horrible as he'e been and all. Gallant could and did mix in a forward to play with Rooney and Reaves as necessary which didn't hurt them at all as a team. Hunt the only really the only likely semi-viable option. Brodz and the other guy who I can't even remember his name at this point are irrelevant. It would be nice to see Motte bury the fodder guys even further down the line should he return.

RichieNextel305 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Lots of speculation this has to do with Crosby potentially being unable to play. Oh boy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the key shot. Crosby going back to his left. Shot from the front and right. Totally inconsistent with the shot from the depository. Again... back and to the left… back and to the left… back and to the left… back and to the left. Magic bullets and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
