Кросби сегодня больше всех провел времени на тренироваке, вроде бы это была ответка на слова Реника что он ленивый и ему надо брать пример с Друэна... Мне кажется Ренник дебил когда говорит что надо брать пример с Друэна, который вообще фиг знает что творил с Изей за сезон... Интересно отметить, что гол Кросби сравнивают с ударами Бекхема:))
И на счет Шири: у того все таик какая то травма нидней части тела, вполне возможно колено дает знать после Уилсона, но Салливан засктретчил его не из за травмы а плохой игры, хотя лично мне кажется, если есть травма то это и причина такой игры Шири.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The Penguins held an optional practice at the Lemieux Sports Complex on Tuesday, 12 hours after an overtime victory in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final against the Lightning.
Only a couple of players who participated in Game 2 practiced the next morning. Sidney Crosby, however, was one of the players on the ice, going 100 MPH during the most optional of workouts. He was one of the last players to leave the ice.
This was typical of Crosby, long one of the Penguins’ hardest working players. It was a little symbolic, too, as Crosby was the target of NBC’s Jeremy Roenick during the second intermission on Monday.
“If I were Sidney Crosby right now,” Roenick said, “I’d watch the work ethic that Jonathan Drouin has on a nightly basis.”
I asked Crosby about Roenick’s comments. He responded.
Crosby said he was unaware of the waves made by Roenick’s comment. In fact, he wasn’t even aware of what Roenick said.
I filled him in on Roenick’s comment about Drouin, the talented Lightning forward who has been at odds with the organization during much of the season, asking for a trade a few months back when relegated to the AHL.
Has Crosby ever been accused of being lazy?
“No,” Crosby said, shaking his head. “Not really.”
Then, the always-polite Crosby came as close as he can to putting Roenick, the former NHL standout, in his place.
“If there was someone who would say it,” Crosby said, “it would be him.”
Television networks that are affiliated with the NHL have a long, bizarre history of employing commentators who seem to have vendettas against star players. Crosby has been roasted over the years by the likes of Roenick, Mike Milbury and Don Cherry.
Cherry has long offered unkind words for the likes of Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and Crosby.
Milbury often saves his most stinging critiques for Crosby and Alex Ovechkin.
In 2012, Milbury referred to Crosby as a “punk” and a “little goody-two-shoes” while appearing on a Philadelphia radio station. He also mocked Crosby’s rehabilitation from a concussion that kept him out of the lineup for the better part of 15 months, referring to it as his “35th concussion.”
Roenick’s most recent shots are only the latest in a long line of Crosby-bashing from NBC Sports. It should be noted that Roenick was once a teammate of Mike Sullivan’s and Rick Tocchet’s in Phoenix.
Rest assured, the Penguins’ coaches don’t think Crosby is lazy.
Neither do his teammates.
“Sid’s an incredible leader,” Justin Schultz said. “He works so hard in practice every day. He works so hard during games. We follow him.”
So, why exactly was Crosby on the ice in a very optional practice? He and Kris Letang were on the ice longer than just about anyone, as usual.
Crosby explained that putting in extra work simply makes him feel like a better, more confident player.
“You want to help your team,” he said. “When you get chances, you want to put them in. The chances are the big thing. That’s what kind of allows you to have that confidence. That’s why you do the extra things, why you put the time in, so you know you’ve done everything to get ready for those one or two chances (that can make the difference in a game). If one doesn’t go in, maybe the next one will.”
On Monday night, he did bury one of those chances.
And on Tuesday, he was back to work.
SECONDARY ASSISTS
• Every now and then, great players do great things, even in practice. During a scrimmage drill in Tuesday’s optional skate, a puck launched into the air and started to descend, about 15 feet from goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Crosby, looking like a baseball player, whacked it out of midair, blistering it over Fleury’s blocker and into the net. The players on the ice let out audible gasps at that play.
• Crosby’s game-winning goal in Game 2 appeared to be something out of a baseball game, as his shot looked more like a slider or perhaps a David Beckham shot.
Crosby shrugged his shoulders and suggested the shot actually hit the knob of goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy’s stick.
• Pictures circulating on the Internet suggesting that the puck went through Matt Murray’s glove on Anton Stralman’s goal on Monday were mentioned by the goaltender on Tuesday.
And he assured everyone that the puck did not go through his glove.
“I would say don’t believe everything you see on the Internet,” he said. “As a goalie, you kind of have a sixth sense. It (equipment) becomes part of your body. You’d be able to tell. I didn’t know about it until this morning. It looked like somebody cut out one frame.”
• Murray gave an honest assessment of his work during Game 2. He wasn’t thrilled with his performance.
“I thought I was pretty average yesterday,” he said. “I guess I made the saves I needed to make to win the game. That’s what matters. But I definitely have better in me.”
• The Penguins are flying to Tampa Bay on Tuesday afternoon and will have an optional morning skate on Wednesday at Amalie Arena.
• Conor Sheary is battling a lower-body injury but didn’t play in the third period or overtime because Sullivan was displeased with his play.
смысл в том, что в зоне атаке имеется превосходство в численности и достаточное пространство для "раша"
