Sprong on Crosby's LW could be an upgrade, but that won't happen.
I have a feeling Sprong will never play for the Pittsburgh Penguins again.

+++Oleksiak
IMO, our best D tonight. Looked very comfortable in his own zone plus made some very good zone exit passes. I also really like how he can hold possession at the blue line in the offensive zone. I just wish that he could unleash a blistering shot sometimes. Don't understand why he fought though, no need for it.
++DeSmith
Some unlucky bounces, but other than that he was very solid. Made some timely saves(ie: Penalty Shot). Surprising factor is that he's 6'0" tall. That is unheard of for a goalie.
+Brassard
Very big PP goal. Very solid and played a good 200 foot game tonight.
+Crosby's GOTY
WOW, all I've got to say.
-Letang
Dude ... cmon. It's getting out of hand.
I think Oleksiak is my favorite defenseman out of the bunch.

Our top pairing is a dumpster fire right now.+ we won
+ HGH, Sid, Jake, Brass
-Letang, Dumo
- Geno did not get 4 points
— we’ll be lucky to get past the first found of the POs. Murray better get into God shape quickly...
Oleksiak has been playing in the wrong system his whole career. He's been dying to play in this system and now he shows up our other defenseman. No clue how our other D can't do it.Oleksiak worked this give and go with Geno, where Geno came back to support the breakout then took off on the other side of the ice. Oleksiak saw him straight away and put the puck on his stick.
How sad is it that Oleksiak, not Letang or Dumo or Maatta, is the guy who's most likely to make that play.
@Scandale du Jour and I were discussing it during the game . . . compare how Oleksiak could recognize it but the three blind mice are slow to see it and then off in their passes again and again.
I have a feeling you're right.
He got caught out of position and turned the puck over also, he needs to shore up his game.Not Dumo’s fault

I'd put ZAR on Sids LW, keep the HGH line together and have Jake-Brass-KesselGuentzel-Sid-ZAR
HGH
Rust-Brassard-Kessel
Sheary-Sheahan-Jooris
I like that when healthy.
Of late his play has dipped a bit.Are you saying Dumo is bad for one game or in general? I think he’s been good
Letang is very smart. Discuss . . .
I'd put ZAR on Sids LW, keep the HGH line together and have Jake-Brass-Kessel
SINCE the deadline I've been concerned with the defense and nothing in the interim has dissuaded me from that opinion. With that in mind the producion of top six upfront is gonna be all the more importantAll goals coming from our top 6 players.
Bout time
He is downright brilliant when compared to a rock or household potted plant... im certain Tanger can play hockey far better than the Opossum in my back yard...
I like Jake with Phil and Brassard, that's arguably a 1st line quality 3rd line. ZAR surprisingly has meshed well with Sid, goes to the dirty areas, takes his pound of flesh and causes havoc around the net. I think that suits Sids game quite well.ZAR-Crosby-Sheary could be good. We have so many combinations and none are perfect. It’ll be a more of wait and see after Sully picks who he wants where.
I’m pretty sure Jake is not moving off Sid’s line if we start the playoffs well
just leaving that there... if thats flipping the switch... then great... now clean up the defence please and make it passable.
