The Hockey News (THN.com) has labelled Marc-Andre Fleury's save on Lidstrom's shot in the remaining seconds of Game 7 of the 2009 SCF as the "Save of the Decade" in their latest issue of the magazine ("The All-Decade Team") featuring the best in hockey from 2000 - 2009.
Game of the Decade - Game 2 of the 2009 EC semi-finals between the Washington Captials and the Pittsburgh Penguins in which both Ovechkin and Crosby recorded hat tricks ... "Sick game," Ovechkin said afterwards." "Sick three goals by me and Crosby."
I have no issue with either of the above (how could I?!); however, the joke here is that out of all the players they chose to be on their "All-Decade Team," NOT ONE is a Pittsburgh Penguin (where the hell is Gonchar, Crosby, or Malkin?! For crying out loud, Lemieux played for a little in the 2000's!)!!!
See for yourself and let me know what YOU think!!
