" Oh yeah."

" walking in Sidney Crosby -- the key guys in Pittsburgh but there's an argument could be made it Sergei gonchar the guy who makes this team -- is any validity of the -- certainly an important element -- and you look at other -- power play without and he was her obviously for much of the year when he came -- he really is that all the quarterback he's always had that great. Low shot and as I that he does provide a certain dynamic from the back -- that when they don't have that they're a bit of trouble but I think I mean I think it's hard to. Undermined the contributions of Crosby Malkin. Gonchar came back about the same time has been involved was brought in as as head coach who was one of those guys think is at a bigger influence on the team's success like I think he."

" You certainly could argue gonchar because I mean Crosby and Malkin needs somebody to get the puck up to them and a guy. It's amazing -- like this guy has just been so good. And for so long and and -- year I mean when he was out of a lineup they've really really struggled in a lot of areas not the least of which was moving the puck and I think that's where. You know key to provide such a calming presence there. The thing that I kind of -- about tennis like. What's doing out there in Europe by one and things like that like why why would you keep playing with that he always does I would I would take -- grass and in those games where you know I didn't second period or whatever as they're going to need that guy. And they're gonna win and they're going to have you don't win the Stanley Cup they're going to need him healthy and productive."

" As good as Crosby and Balkan and gonchar and Marc Andre Fleury have been is that some room to -- our secondary role ditto for you for the things."

" lot of guys because you don't get this far without secondary guys making big contributions and I been the case for Pittsburgh for sure. I'm from me two guys that that might not come to my for a lot of people that do for -- or pick and and how ill. On those guys have been terrific as shut down players have been really good on the penalty kill -- Gil has used you know -- and has reached you to not a lot of guys out and I think. I think those two guys who really really stepped up their games beyond gonchar. "

" You know and -- did painless even has been a bit unheralded but you know they've got a good group of secondary forwards as well. The -- unit of course has been on the Crosby line hasn't scored a lot but he still does have."

" Twelve point in playoff games any any -- bug off it you know -- may have out of their max Talbot a fan favorite we see him step up with a big goal early on in the Carolina series and he has got hammered by a mile island -- is always out there. Legs churning banging into the boards. Certainly Pittsburgh and and you know that was a concern coming in because they lost."

" a last year you lost a guy like Ryan Malone who was tremendous for them in the playoffs last year so I think is -- for -- to the extent that you just don't get this far but those."

" and it's funny don't you yet you guys get back to -- got -- and you know they really haven't in a big -- by scoring in a -- shirt and you -- but these other guys brutal Portland."
