 Bulis was our best tonight! I hope he isn't traded. He can play any roll for this team and deserves to stay at second line center!  As for Zed, I don't care what Gainey does with him! By the way, where was our first line tonight? Oh Yah, they played against Pens top line! That was a mistake! Crosby made our boys look like a Peewee club!  Crosby and Fluery are core players the Pens can build around! They are special players that will secure the Pens future! It was an honour to watch them!  CJ should of had our checking line against the Crosby line!

ActuallY I will respectfully disagree with that one AB. Julien put exactly the line out that I would have against Crosby. Koivu is our best center, not only offensively, but defensively. And for the most part Koivu did his job. The 2 goals that Crosby had were NOT the result of good scoring opportunities but Crosby. The first one he is going wide down the wing and Theo is down too soon and Syd puts it upstairs. Second goal bounces around off his leg and in. What did happen by matching you rbig line with theirs is it freed up the other 3 lines and it worked. They scored all 4 goals. I thought overall they did a good job of shutting down the number one line and then left it up to the other 3 to get the job done, which for the most part they did.

Saku was invisible last night! Did you hear the Pitt announcers in the 3rd period???  "Where is Saku Koivu tonight???"

Actually the first line recorded 2 shots Which is ok if they shut down Sydney. But they did not.
