I've never seen Fred Couples skate, but I bet he's got a heck of a slapshot.

We need @esls79 to rant about Crosby's natural hat trick during garbage time...

Every time I see that phrase about Sid's hat trick last night I immediately think to myself, "What the hell was natural about that 2nd goal!" The phrases 'preternatural' and 'super natural' keep coming to mind to describe that second goal.

It's a legal term.

I know but I just can't resist pointing out how out of this world that goal was.

 

[forty_three]

Wow

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Wow

Holy shit!

Philly had a shot on goal?

In fairness, that was more of a shuffle than a shot.

I get not drafting him 1-1 anymore, but what 17 players are likely to both outlast and outproduce him in the playoffs? That seems like a lot to draft ahead of a guy who finished 10th in scoring and on a hot streak, and who plays for the team who've won the last two Cups.

Exactly - I mean unless you don't think the Pens are going to make a deep post-season run, how do you not take Sid as one of your top picks? I mean maybe you take Malkin or Kessel before Sid if you think they're going to get more points, but to see #87 drop to the 18th pick is mind-boggling to me.

In the swamp, it would be mind-bottling...

Preseason tier effort. Terrible.

Preceded by a whiffle.
