Marty is a mess this game no doubt. I think worse than game 3 last series. He was screened on two of those.

Luckily so is the much younger long term solution joker on the other side of him.

[Ripshot 43]

Henrique is due for a goal.

[scalan15]

high stick no call

[sddev]

Did the refs just miss a stick to the face ?

That's going to happen. That's why in the playoffs you need a goaltender that will bail the D out when they make mistakes. That's what we are missing with this version of MB. He no longer has the ability to consistently bail his D out. Unfortunately that is often the difference in the playoffs.

lol another hook not called 3 feet from the ref

Marty was waayyyy off his angle. There was at least half a net to shoot at. It's because he bit on the wraparound and couldn't recover.

I don't fault him on the second. A lot of the guys who nitpick at everything he gives up will fault him though.

I aint gonna bash him or throw the stupid Stevens, Neidermayer, haven't won a Cup in 9 years crap, but yeah the first, and third were bad. So were Bryz's first, and third.

Yeah, he cheated on the 2nd goal.

[PADevil3034]

Clarkson is the absolute last person I want to see leading a 3-on-2

[StvBroDan]

The horse dead yet

[TheUnseenHand]

Kovy can not be the guy they look to to carry the puck up the ice. They need to find another option, then get it to Kovy in the zone.

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Kovy was looking a bit labored on that play there.

[KovyLove]

Nice giveaway at center ice Kovalchuk.

[Rockie]

Kovy wants to drive the cab, but Doc isn't here to yell at him. ****.

[yakitate304]

Anyone remember when people talked positively about Brodeur's rebound control? Seems like a long long time ago.

[Devils Nick30]

Whatever painkiller Kovalchuk had has worn off, he looks pretty bad again.

[TheUnseenHand]

I do think Marty's stickhandling and passing have been a very big positive for them so far in the playoffs despite the couple gaffs.

[scalan15]

kovy should not have played

[daveskirtun]

We gotta stop forcing the shot from the point when they're unchallenged. Usually gets blocked and leads to a rush against.

[AZNDevil]

Ohhh ****. Another OT game.

Losing this game would feel almost as bad as game 7 of 09. So many chances to put em away, but couldn't and Marty has been mediocre tonight.
