...and what do you know? They did!
Yes, the Leafs beat the Penguins 5-2 last night. And, the game wasn't even as close as the score indicates. Pittsburgh got a late goal on powerplay to make it 5-2. Before Pittsburgh's second goal, the game was about as close as a hooker's meat curtains.
The story of the game was Jiri Tlusty. In his first NHL game, he scored twice including netting the game winner. Sexy time! It should be noted that his first ever NHL goal merely hit him in the ass and bounced in, so he can't be given too much credit for it...but he was in the right place, and a good portion of hockey talent is being positionally sound. His second goal was both boner-inducing and the game winner. He took a pass from Pavel Kubina at full speed, drove up the left side, and beat Marc Andre Fleury far side.
Crybaby Crosby had a goal and an assist to lead his team. Sidney is having a great season - three goals, all against Toronto's poor defense. Fuck, I'd have more than 3 goals on the year playing with Evgeni Malkin. And I wouldn't bitch nearly as much as Sidney does. A partial list of mediocre talent that currently have more goals than Crosby: Niklas Hagman, Jiri Novotny, and Penguins 4th liner Maxime Talbot. Very impressive!
It's frustrating to watch Canadian hockey media annoint Crosby as saviour and messiah even while he badly underperforms and fellow Canadians Paul Stastny, Mike Cammelleri, and Rick Nash - to name but a few - are dominating the league nightly. No doubt Crosby is a franchise centre, but does he really need a reacharound after every point? Fuckkkk.
Even his own coach is responsible: when his line doesn't produce points, his wingers are immediately shuffled, as if it isn't possible that Crosby can have a stretch of bad games, or as if Crosby isn't capable of being the reason behind he slump. It's madness I tell you!
Don't Look Now...
