NJSikkbreed Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think yesterday showed us and the Nation 2 important things....1 - Claude Giroux is better than Sidney Crosby right now..... this series proved it in many ways. His all around game is stronger -- he's a better leader and a top world, "classy" talent.... not a dirty, little crybaby punk.2 - We all know Giroux could likley be the defacto Captain moving forward --- but there are just special moments in a player's careerthat define his birth into being a team Captain..... G'Roo telling Lavs "I dont care who you expect to start this game, but I WANT first shift!!"and then going out and laying Crosby 2 feet off the ground onto his back, then stealing the pass and rifling a shot into the back of the netin the first 35sec of a close-out playoff game is one of those special times we'll all remember...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And telling Briere and Hartnell "watch this shift," then going out and delivering? That's gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJSikkbreed Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And telling Briere and Hartnell "watch this shift," then going out and delivering? That's gold.I've never seen Giroux have the expression like he did after scoring.... he looked like a man possessed! I knew we were gonna win after seeing thatface! He was on a mission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 hey aff..i found something better....”A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.” –Wayne GretzkyGreat moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight.You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets (insert Penguins) have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it. .........Herb Brooks before USA vs Soviet Union 1980 Olympics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
