NHL Playoffs
March 8, 2010 in Uncategorized
After two weeks of amazing hockey that ended up with an overtime goal by Sidney Crosby to give the goal medal to Canada in the Winter Olympics, we arrived to a great stage in the NHL with the best teams in the league already thinking playoffs.
Crosby with just 22 years old has become a living legend after that goal against the United States, at his short age he has won a goal medal and a Stanley Cup already, the worst for the part for the opponents is that he looks in pretty good shape to repeat with the Penguins this year.
Pittsburgh is second in the East conference just behind the Washington Capitals but is hard to bet against the Penguins whenever the NHL odds listed them as favorites.
They own a four games winning streak including wins against the Rangers and the Sabres after the Winter Olympics break.
Also keep in mind Sidney Crosby lead his teams with 84 points meaning of course he is the go to guy for this offense. He has scored 44 goals and 40 assists in 65 games played so far in the season, something that left no clue about who is the star of this team.
Consider that the next best player is Evgeni Malkin as he has 68 points result of 23 goals and 45 assists.
In addition the thing about this Penguins team is that they get unfired when they need to as Crosby an company seem to be money in the bank whenever the hardest games arrived in the schedule.
