So What's The Excuse This Time?

I’m not sure what that was yesterday, but it was not the same team as Thursday night. Perhaps the boys had their minds on today’s game and couldn’t get focused on that game, but that would be just as worse as doing their “Jerry wana be acts”.

Now we are below the Penguins on NL and the HABS have the additional pressure of knowing that if we loose, the Pens tie us in points.

I’m going to save judgment on this situation until tomorrow’s update because if they win decisively today, than they have just been focused on Crosby’s dives and Armstrong’s assaults, and just want to win the series and send the Pens a clear message. Loosing yesterday’s game on account of focusing on today’s game is wrong, but forgivable, if they do play and win. If not, my judgment would be slightly more sever than that. We’ll see what happens.

Oh and on a last note, the Pens claim Armstrong is injured after his altercation with Souray, If I recall he played another 10-15 mintes that game and picked up points. So was this an injury with a time delay, or was it a bullet in the foiot following the quotes from the HABS players about Sunday’s game?

I never like Michelle Therrien. A coach should not behave in such a weak, emotional manner crying at times, whining about his players all the time and muttering death threats to the opposition’s bench. Under his leadership so far I have seen Armostrong lay the cheapest of shots (leagel but cheap), avoid the consequences from the official, and run away from the consequences from the bench, and worse I have seen the ambassador of hockey become a cheap dirty woosy diver (sorry Crosb…all the respect for you, your talents and accomplishments, but much like Briere and Iginla, once I see you dive, the rest is as they say history). The best things the Pens can do following the move into a new arena would be to dump Therrien and get an honorable coach. Cheap shots and cheap tricks should not be part of a game plan, nor should they be rewarded. Therrien is a pest which has tainted more than one NHL team, and in my humble opinion, the sooner he gets the boot the better.
