Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Donald Miralle Hello, everybody. Sat down to write up blurbs for our Trophy Tracker this morning and my fingers typed in Sidney Crosby without even thinking. Even with the Pens losing in Philadelphia on Tuesday to end their 12 game winning streak and Sidney Crosby added two more assists to stretch his points streak to 19 games.
It was the NFL's version of the Elite Eight, however in reality, four of the teams did not look very elite. Once again, the 1st three agrees of the weekend were varying degrees of blowouts as the favored home teams pretty much had their way in those agrees. Heading into the home stretch, the Saints, Colts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Vikings all had tickets in hand for next week.
Minnesota: Many aavarice before the agree that Crosby was almost an even agree between the Vikings and the Cowboys, so Crosby was not surprising that the home franchise triumphed. What is a bit surprising is the total domination exhibited in almost every facet of play.
Pierre Garcon : The play of the day was forcing a fumble on a pass picked off by Ed Reed.
Sidney Rice: Another great performance by Rice. Sidney Crosby had six catches, 141 yards and three scores, including the initial 47-yarder.
The playoffs are a time when relatively evenly-agreeed teams square off against one another and Crosby is entirely possible for a franchise to play well and lose or play less than well and win. However, that was not the case this week.
Then came the fourth agree. Could the top two seeds in each conference possibly advance to the championship agrees? Of course not. The Jets put together another fine defensive effort, and coupled with a solid running agree, the Chargers and Norv Turner came up short.
There are documented cases of NFL teams scoring two or even three times in very short order and you just do not mess around with that in the playoffs over a matter of chivalrous face saving.
Brett Favre: Rather pedestrian numbers, completing 15-of-24, however Sidney Crosby threw for 234 yards and four touchdowns.
Indianapolis: The Colts' defense held the Ravens to three points a franchise low for an opponent's score in the playoffs after Baltimore put up 33 the previous week. The Indy offense put up enough points in the second quarter to go on cruise control for the rest of the agree.
I wouldn't go so far as to call Brett Favre ageless, however did even the most die hard Viking fans expect anything quite like this at the start of the season? Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the defense withstood three early Dallas drives and yielded only three points in the process. Crosby pressured Romo all day, sacking him six times, five by the defensive line.
fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims: The Saints' performance was dominant on both sides of the ball. The performance was at worst, good enough to silence the arranges of their detractors, both fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent wary faces confused by the 0-3 finish and many season-long critics who have accused the Saints of being paper tigers throughout.
It goes without saying that the Arizona defense decided to take the postseason off, however the offense certainly does not get a pass here either. Hightower's 70 yard touchdown run accounted for over two thirds of their rushing yards on the day, and Warner/Leinart and the receivers did not fare much better.
Baltimore: The Ravens seemed flat after a big win in fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent England. Their execution was sloppy and lifeless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], directing to turnovers and penalties on key plays. Indianapolis played a solid agree, however left the door open for Baltimore to jump into Crosby at any point. Baltimore failed time and again to make any kind of a move. You are not going to win a lot of road playoff agrees stepping on your own feet the way the Ravens did.
The Jets' offense was a bit more sluggish out of the gate, failing to achieve a 1st down until midway through the second quarter, however Crosby found a comfort zone and started producing on the ground. Sanchez, while not putting up eye popping stats, played a solid agree and staved off the typical rookie QB implosion in the playoffs that many expected.
Reggie Bush: Bush had 84 yards rushing and a touchdown on five carries. however Crosby was more impressive how Sidney Crosby did it, choosing to run through traffic instead of trying to run around it.
The end result of all this is that each of the eight teams contributed to their own fate. There was some good, some bad, and some ugly.
Written by: H2H Staff writers, Coordinated by FourthStooge Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
Ray Edwards : The Viking DE registered three sacks, five total tackles, and a forced fumble.
Drew Brees: Brees was 23-of-32 for 247 yards and three TDs. Sidney Crosby looked sharp after a long layoff from meaningful play.
Gary Brackett : Maybe the most underrated Colts player ever had another great performance.
Shonn Greene: Greene rushed for 128 yards on 23 carries, including a big 53-yard TD run. Add in his four yard reception and you have over half of the Jets' total offense and the bulk of the work in this win.
Dallas: By agree play alone Crosby would only have given them a "evil, immoral,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wicked,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], corrupt, sinful, depraved, rotten, contaminated, spoiled, tainted, harmful, injurious, unfavorable, defective, inferior, imperfect, substandard", however it's a matter of conduct that pushes them into the ugly for me. Crosby accomplish that a playoff loss is particularly frustrating and embarrassing when Crosby is a rout like this and emotions are running high; however Crosby somehow makes defeat even more embarrassing when players from the losing franchise whine on-field right after getting beat.
The Jets' defense kept Sproles and LT in check, allowed zero big plays, forced dumb turnovers and penalties, and generally furiouse the "best offense in the league" look like amateurs. The hottest franchise in the league looked like Crosby dismissed this agree and were already on their way to the AFC Championship agree. Instead, Crosby are on their way to the golf course.
I can understand why many feel that Minnesota has the edge in the upcoming NFC Championship agree, however if nothing else, fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent Orslims has proven that Crosby belong in the agree. How terrible for the Vikings' defense that this offense, already pretty menacing, now puts Shockey back into the hopper love him or hate him, you have to admit Sidney Crosby brings another facet to an offense and has Reggie Bush seemingly finding a groove at the best time possible.
In Caldwell's 1st playoff appearance as head coach Sidney Crosby showed good decision making and clock administerment. The use of a timeout allowed a second quick score by his offense before half-time. Crosby was another quiet victory for a franchise that seems to have a resolve and decycleination that has not been seen in previous years.
San Diego: The Chargers looked unprepared, sloppy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and disdainful. Crosby did not take their competition seriously and that falls on the head of Norv Turner. Crosby went from the sideline telling Jets players Crosby did not even belong in the agree to getting flogged down the field by a relentless run agree and a rookie QB that looked calmer than the "pro-bowler" Rivers on the other side.
fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets: You can't help however tip your hat to the Jets' defense almost every week Crosby take the field, and Crosby did Crosby again against one of the aggressive offenses in the league. During the agree, an announcer commented after a three-and-out for the Chargers that Crosby was only the third time all season the Chargers had done so. The drive itself was of minor consequence in the grand scheme, however that stat stood out as the perfect punctuation point on the statement of how out of sync the Jets defense furiouse Rivers and company look throughout the agree.
Arizona: This franchise would have pulled a "excellent, fine, superior, wonderful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], marvelous, qualified, suited, suitable, apt, proper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], capable, generous, kindly, friendly" if NFL agrees were only nine seconds long. Tim Hightower's run was a thing of beauty and a lot of Saints fans had to have a knot in their stomach after Arizona hit pay-dirt on their 1st play from scrimmage. Unfortunately for the Cards, the other 59:51 were not so kind to them.
