What can you say? They are better than we are. If I had to pick a team to
come out of the East right now it's them and not us. Who says they can't
play defense? Their defense was great. They were blocking shots all over
the place. They have an elite goalie in this Hedberg kid who vastly
outplayed Marty (the first two Pitt goals had no business being goals).
Marty's best save was more a result of a superb defensive play by
Niedermayer then the actual save.
The Devils only outplayed them for a short stretch of the first period and
then Pittsburgh pretty much had their way.
Nemchinov has become useless. He is far too slow and has as much offensive
game as Pando.
If they can't beat Pittsburgh when they are playing their best hockey of
the year and Kovalev is out how can they be expected to beat them in a
Playoff series?
And, I am sure, O'Donnel will get a few games for his dumbass elbow on
Morozov.
Very disappointing.
