Maybe because they're both centers?
Huh? Malkin and Crosby have played on the same line throughout the season at multiple times. I know they're both Centers but Crosby has set up Malkin on a lot of goals this season. Maybe not as many as I'm imagining but I don't care what position they play. They are your two best players and they should be on the ice.
Is it possible you're thinking of when Crosby set up Malkin on the powerplay throughout the year?
All I was saying is that it gives them the best chance of scoring and with the season on the line who gives a fuck about positions and things like that. Put your best players on the ice and go at it.
Also Wings PP should have been a 5-3. Since not only was there
too many many on the ice, but also an interference simultaneously,
which stopped a potential Detroit breakaway. Rolltide MIA. LOL!
"who gives a fuck about positions"
I guess you did admit you weren't an expert - that's bizarre logic in any team sport.
Fact is - Malkin has been playing like he's skating in grass and his head has been in a fog for games. If he and Sid couldn't cash in during the 5-on-3 in game 4, there's no hope.
Desperation time though - stranger things have happened.
