I remember one night in Columbus kimmo and vokoun kicked a goal a piece into our own net and we ended up losing by 2 goals that night. It was heart breaking.

Hornqvist has great for us. 4g-4a in 4 games but his shot is actually above average. Quick release and isn't shy about shooting it. He already has great chemistry with crosby. hes the type of player sid likes on his wing plus hes a right shot. The crosby line (with kunitz also) has among the leagues best but the great thing is hornqvist has made our pp unstoppable. he owns the front of the net and malkin and crosby are going crazy on the pp.
Funny when he was here, everyone said we didn't have a true top 6 player. Trade him away and he's the best ever.
Right now, we lost that trade, although I don't know that Hornqvist would fit this style of hockey. Neal on the other hand hasn't really done enough. Still early.
We haven't lost in regulation, so I won't ***** too much.
Good for Hornqvist though, don't find many better people. Now excuse me why I go to Washington's board to tell them how much I like Forsberg, no wait, I won't do that, because I don't need too.

Agreed. McPhee must have been on a 7 day bender when he made the Forsberg trade. And i'm not worrying about Neal yet, we're only 5 games in and I'm sure the Forsberg, Ribeiro and Neal line will be just fine.

Not bad for a guy picked dead last in the draft. Always loved Hornqvist. Glad he is doing well. Hopefully, Neal will start producing as well.

Yeah Crosby would make a turd on skates look pretty decent, so I'm sure Horns is flourishing with him. We knew he was a good player when we traded him, which is what you have to do if you want to get a good player in return. Horns is what you needed, Neal is what we needed. Cool how it works out that way sometimes.

Neal will produce he's just streaky when he does. He'll score 1 goal in 10 games and then score 10 the next 5.
He has one of the sickest shots in the league. Between him and Weber on the PP, the other goalie is going to have to be like Gumby to make saves.

Hornqvists game compliments Sid and Geno perfect.. It's no secret he would produce there.
He never had that here, if he had dynamic forwards with him in NSH, he would have had higher numbers

I am happy for Hornqvist and when you have Crosby and Malkin he is a great fit for them but when he is your best player that isn't good. It is a trade that worked for both teams. I'm not worried about Neal he'll get going with Forsberg and Ribero as they've looked good the last couple of games. We are winning while guys haven't been their best so I'm not complaining.

Neal takes time to adjust. He didn't score a lot for us when we first traded for him, but his skillset was very readily apparent. When he's fully acclimated and comfortable, the goals will come.
Yeah, I hope that's how it winds up too. I'm loving Hornqvist in Pittsburgh. He isn't the shooter Neal is but he has a nice all around game and is a right shot that we desperately needed. Neal will heat up statistically at some point. He's just a bit of a streaky scorer.

Neal is very talented but he does miss having Pens talent arround him. He will be fine in time and hopefully he carrys Forsberg with him. If FF Neal and Riberio do not start clicking were gonna see Roy given a chance on that line.

I also am not concerned yet but mainly because we are winning. Imagine the crying around here if we were losing with his lack of gracing the score sheet.
I can just tell by watching Neal that he will likely produce better for us than HQ over time. He shows a skill set we haven't seen here very often and right now just isn't finding the back of the net. I think it will come.
Ultimately, way too early to judge this trade imo.

Also, career 12.4% shooter currently at 6.3%. He'll get going. Hornqvist may outproduce him still, but that's the luxury of playing with the best player in the world.

Suter scored two own goals in one game against the Ducks, the second of which was like a soccer snipe in the upper corner off a kick

Well, I don't know if Malkin's exactly the best player in the world...
Thought he was playing with Crosby for the most part
