Rob Scuderi’s postgame thoughts…
(on maintaining composure in a wild game…)
SCUDERI: “Gameplan wise, it certainly wasn’t a perfect game for us, but sometimes that’s going to happen and you’ve got to find a way to win a game. It was pretty crazy in the first two periods. I think, in the third period, we calmed it down. We gave up a power-play goal, and it was a tough penalty, but those things are going to happen sometimes and you have to kill them off. We found a way to win anyway.”
(on whether he saw Simmonds’ penalty…)
SCUDERI: “I didn’t see it. I wasn’t looking at the Jumbotron when they showed it. I’m sure he’s more mad at himself than anything, because that’s the type of player that he is. Fortunately it didn’t cost us the game, and I’m sure he won’t do it again.”
i am so glad we have scuderi….

@rontheking, why that guy is on the ice almost all the time the other teams score this guy is playing way below what he has in the past i just do not understand that saying

@Leo of Pico,
if that is true than he would have a negative +/-, and he doesn’t (it’s even at zero). and he gets no time on the power play, which would pad the number. and he gets mucho time on the penalty kill, which would hurt the number even more if what you say is true.
what i see over and over again are solid defensive plays. i think he’s very good defensively, and a really important–if unsung–part of the defense.

@rontheking, you don’t get a + for being on the ice for a powerplay goal or a – for being on the ice on the pk.

@Leo of Pico, Why dont you ask Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin how much they miss Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi? Pittsburgh doesnt win the cup without the best shutdown pair in the playoffs that year. How good are Scuderi and Mitchell currently? Well, if the Ducks had both of these guys on their roster, they would leave the Kings in their rear view mirror.

Even Rob Scuderi knew what that was..Thanx rob for calling it what it was in a very classy way.

Did Scuds just throw Simmonds under the bus?

@Bonvivant1, Nope, he’s a proven Standly Cup winning veteran telling a younger player that he better not do that ever again.

@Bonvivant1, Sorry, but Simmonds dove head first (under the bus) all by himself.

@kingfisher, Agree with everything you said and I will add this…He is also a big off Ice presence as well. Also think Harold is solid, he makes better reads then Drewiske or Muzzin at this time. Down the road however, I think Muzzin will blow both of these guys away!

i really like muzzin alot and was watching his progress last year and he will be a huge part of this team this year…………..and has a rocket shot and size too……….great upside but you dont just walk in this league and take over on the blue line ,give this guy 20 more games and your going to see what he is capable of………….wow nice for us…

Scuds is carrying JJ right now. He made Doughty who he is. The Piece doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

Love Scuds
