Am I the only one still waiting for Brassard to impress? He was pretty invisible/bad last night and was completely responsible for a GA with (not just 1), but 2 bad plays on it. I don't see why he cost us so much for his .5pt/game pace. It's not like he's playing with plugs either. I'm still seeing Cole's loss out there, and nothing much from Derrick to justify it.
Pens played much better team D in the 3rd to completely frustrate PHI. Jarry still not controlling the puck as well as he should (lead to 2nd GA). He made some big saves, and got lucky a couple of times. Murray needs to come back soon and split 50/50 to get back into form. 4th line was pretty brutal for most of the game. Malkin's line was dominant again. Sid had a little bit of hustle and "I care" back to his game. Still not shooting enough and playing too much of a perimeter game. Sheary had a great game all around too, and he needed it. It shows that he CAN still use his skill to win you a game from time to time. Big Rig's headbutt was my favorite, but will prob cost him a game.
I was at the game and my god were the fans butt-hurt. Soooooo angry. Any time they'd start to think about the hockey score, they start their stupid E..A..G..L chant. So insecure.
