Malkin was fined $5,000 for spearing Brown in the nuts. There was no penalty. That may have lead to Shultz getting boarded. Brown was fined $10,000 for the hit.
Reports say Schultz will be OK. No concussion and that's lucky considering how he was hit.
Sprong a healthy scratch was a surprise. yes, his defense is poor but we all knew that. The guy puts pucks on net and that's what we need.
Simon is about half a beat behind Crosby on many plays. When experience slows the game down for him, we're going to see some goals.
Cole continuing to sit is disappointing. I like him better than Hunwick in most situations.
Dea was hurt in the in the first period. I didn't see him come back later. Any news ?
Still no reason to board a defenseless player.
If Brown was bothered that much, drop the gloves.
I've seen Brown play throughout his career. He can be a great hard nosed player, but is prone to dishing out cheap hits.
His fighting skill is not too great either.
Malkin would drop him imo.
Not to mention Cole's willingness to block shots.
Didn't see anything on Dea, I noticed he was absent in the 3rd. Figured Sullivan was just shortening his bench
Dea isn't listed on any injury reports. I heard them say he was going to the locker room. Flu ?
DeSmith is doing OK if you ask me. That last save was great.
