If we're talking about hockey players who are defying father time a guy who gets my vote is Matt Cullen. Whereas a lot of older guys in hockey hang around a la Jagr by using their experience and their soft hands to keep them in the game Cullen has that plus he still has his wheels. I've never seen a 40 year old hockey player who can flat out skate like Cullen can. On occasion earlier in the season he centered a line with Carl Hagelin and Brian Rust who are younger and can fly. He fit right in.

Hey Eagle, Welcome to the thread!! Hopefully we'll have some Bruins playoff talk in 3 weeks.

I watched most of the third period. They looked horrible. Especially the defensemen. Colin Miller is the only keeper in that entire crew. And that includes Chara, who honestly is no better than a third pairing guy now. Sweeney has apparently drafted help, but it's going to be a couple of years before that fruit ripens. The B's are 2 points up on the Islanders. The Islanders have a game in hand, which they'll make up tonight in Pittsburgh. And then tomorrow night, THE biggest game of the season for the B's when the Islanders come to town. They'll either be tied for the last playoff spot, or the B's will be up 2 points with the same amount of GP, finally. If they lose again, stick a fork in them. I can only imagine the boos raining down. |

Sid Vicious??
Crosby without a point last night against the Sens. However he did manage to slash Mark Methot's finger badly enough to have Methot leave the game and not return. In the previous game against Buffalo Sid wickedly speared the Sabres' Ryan O'Reilly in the gonads! So is this just a coincidence or is Crosby finally tired of taking all the abuse (the high stick from Evander Kane in the Buffalo game cost Sid his two front teeth) and has become his alter ego Sid 'Vicious'?

Also, bear in mind that if Sid were to complain to the refs then everybody would be calling him "Cindy" again.

Did they send Sestito back down already? I loved his debut last week. 62 seconds of ice time, 20 minutes of penalty, and an ejection. That's an old school line!
Edit: Ah, I see it now. He also earned a 4 game suspension during that 62 seconds of ice time. Nice! |

Yup. The man is quite efficient at his one true talent. If UFC ever allows fighting on ice he would be a shoe-in for the title.

Looks like McDavid nearly has the Art Ross captured. 8 games for Crosby to make up 8 points. (I think that's McDavid's lead now). |

Actually Tom Sestito's suspension was completed several games ago. He came back from the suspension, played a game and suffered an upper body injury. So he's been an injury scratch most recently. In Tom's case I think the injury probably falls under the category of 'He knew the job was dangerous when he took it.' We'll see exactly how serious his injury is when the Pens play the Flyers tonight.

And thanks for the update on Sestito, CD. I haven't looked at any box scores yet, but I thought I heard on the radio on the ride into work that the Flyers worked the Pens over pretty good. Sounds like they're coasting to the finish line. |

The Flyers/Pens matchup ended 6-2 in favor of Philly. The score was indicative of the way the game was played. Conor Sheary was injured early in the game and that seemed to deflate the Pens. Only last week the Sheary-Crosby-Guentzel line was creating headlines around the NHL for their great play. Crosby's line last night featured a lot of AHL call-ups with Guentzel and Sheary injured. The Pens aren't really coasting, they're limping to the finish.

The Pens are off for 2 days after losing 3. Hopefully they get somebody back off the DL. They're clinched for the playoffs but admittedly are hurting
I don't know if it will be Malkin back next as word is that he left the last practice early. I'm wondering if he shattered something blocking a shot in his last game. Meanwhile Murray has been looking pretty bad in goal. I don't know if it's fatigue or people have seen enough to figure him out but Fleury might be getting the starting goalie job back - at least for the first round of the playoffs.
