Award-winning columnist Dejan Kovacevic covers Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Pitt and more Thu, 29 Oct 2015 06:44:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.3 http://dkpittsburghsports.com/?p=5262/comment-page-1/#comment-48200 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 04:30:23 +0000 http://dkonpittsburghsports.com/?p=5262#comment-48200 And what happened to our packs / puck support tonight? None.
.
Baited by Isles into Bylsma-stretch entire game and we continually bit. To the tune of Isles’ odd man breaks in waves.

.
Blatantly obvious Depres in top 3 right now, let alone top 6.
.
Absolutely no business sitting Depres over Borts, Ehrhoff or Scuds. None.

.
Could not have had a goalie more custom-tailored for Letang and his “impossible move that no goalie can stop [except Lundqvist].” Mistake not to use him over Sutter.

.
Johnson not quick laterally. Demanded stickhandling in tight. So Geno tries to pick a corner from 15 feet. Sutter comes with no speed and tries backhander that took an OT to get off.

.
And then pairing Borts and Scuds to boot. Mind-boggling.
.
HCMJ quick learner. Don’t see him making same mistake anytime soon.

He’s gonna need to pick it up and help Sid with no Duper in the picture.

WTH is that about? Refs just decide to even things up by swallowing their whistles?
