Players Salary vs Playoff Production

Jonathan Farzalo | Inside The Numbers

Monday April 28, 2008

I constantly hear people calling out Marian Hossa. “He is a choker. He can not play in the playoffs. He is overpaid. He is going to command too much for his production. He is a Maid Marian.”

So I got to thinking.

Pens Win 2-0, Lead Series 2-0

Jonathan Farzalo | Pittsburgh Penguins

Sunday April 27, 2008

After taking the back and forth, insanity filled contest of game 1 in the series, the Pittsburgh Penguins had the chance to take a 2-0 lead heading to New York, giving the Rangers something huge to think about. Before the drop of the puck the Penguins were the only team in the playoffs yet to lose a game, and thanks to great goaltending by Marc-Andre Fleury, a powerplay goal by Jordan Staal, and empty net goal by Adam Hall that’s also the way it ended.

Pens Take Game 1 with 4-Goal Showing

Jonathan Farzalo | Pittsburgh Penguins

Wednesday April 9, 2008

The Pittsburgh Penguins entered this game with something to prove. After last years horrible performance against this same Ottawa team, in this same first round the Penguins needed to come out, bang some bodies, take it to the Sens, and never let up. From the start of the game that is exactly what they did. They played a hardnosed playoff game, one that they couldn’t have played last year.

Defense MIA - Pens Lose 5-2

Jonathan Farzalo | Pittsburgh Penguins

Tuesday March 18, 2008

A team that many counted out, the New York Rangers have had a great few weeks, minus a stop in Florida where they lost 2 straight. While the Penguins who many figured would crumble when Fleury and Crosby were lost to injury have weathered the storm due to the great play of what FSN Pittsburgh is calling the “Steel City Line” of Malkin, Sykora, and Malone. The Penguins have soared to fighting for the top spot.

They didn’t do anything to show they deserved to be fighting for that spot tonight.

Saturday March 15, 2008

Try to deny it you might, but Alexander Ovechkin is looking more and more like a lock to win the Art Ross Trophy for the leagues leading scorer this year, and if he can help push his team to a playoff berth, he will most likely be a lock to win the Hart Trophy as well, proving to be the league MVP.

Sunday March 9, 2008

What started out as Crosby vs Ovechkin, and as I said I’m not a fan of it, quickly turned into Pittsburgh vs Washington, and that’s how it should be. The Penguins got a little help with less than a minute to play, when Capitals forward, Backstrom, cleared a rebound right into his own net.

Friday March 7, 2008

For three years now Pittsburgh and Washington matchups have been tagged, “Crosby vs Ovechkin”, with good reason, they’re both young elite superstars in the National Hockey League who began their professional careers in America the year after the lock-out. This Sunday, it’s time Evgeni Malkin get’s some love, and that he gets it while Sidney Crosby is in the lineup.
