NEW YORK. If the stars of the New York Rangers had forgotten that Sidney Crosby is a hockey player of world class, they got a useful reminder of the night.
He scored two goals and led the Penguins to a 4-3 victory at Madison Square Garden.
– When he is in this mood, he did not stop. It was great to see, says Patric Hornqvist Sportbladet.
The series between the President’s Trophy winners the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins is equalized – and it depends largely on the player known as the world’s best.
He – Sidney Crosby – made no major noise in the first meeting last Thursday, but last night he was phenomenal and had been able to complete a hat-trick unless he selflessly Passat when he had an open bag in the closing seconds.
“Small masterpiece”
– Yes, he was really good. Stylish goals, he also made. The other thing that Chris Kunitz struck such a cruel fit to was a small masterpiece. He just puts it over the leg guard on “Henke”, it looks so easy, says Patric Hornqvist and shaking disbelief on his head when we meet him afterwards.
There was nothing wrong with it as “Bengan” self-standing for eminent groundwork for either.
– No, first hit the hill a good fit straight up into the bane so I almost came in the semi-neutral. Since I was not really up and hit the “Henkes’ shin guards and then I threw only it into goals and then Sid there. When he is in this mood, he did not stop.
“Another law”
The only Swedish penguin is at all happy with the team’s performance in the match, number two.
– Yes, we were much, much better than the first game. We came out like a different team and put pressure on them directly. Even when they were
In addition, the guests the better team in power play – and at killing penalties. And it was needed, for they continued to take puzzling many expulsions and ended up in numerical sub-modes on six occasions.
– Yes, we are still taking a few too many penalties, often after a bit stupid decisions when we’re too high up with clubs and waving. We must take it easy with.
– But our “penalty kill” was really brilliant, and powerplay also worked fine. It was the “special teams” who decided this game.
Hagelin ran on Crosby
“Bengans” countryman of the opposing team, Carl Hagelin, caused some anger in Pittsburgh camp when he was in associated with a change in the third period ran on – or collided with – himself Sidney Crosby.
Super star was lying on the ice for a while and looked to have damaged jaw.
– But I can ensure that it was an accident. I feel Hagelin, there are no ugly player. He tried probably just get to the booth, says Hörnqvist.
Crosby bounced too quickly and seems ready to play the rest of the series.
It is now continuing in Pittsburgh the night of Tuesday.
