I am going out on a limb and suggest something at the end of this diatribe I am about to write. So bear with me.
This game: I squarely blame it on Kessel. He telegraphed that interception the whole way. Every single time he was entering the zone, he had done the same thing, which mind you was not a problem. My contention is that he actually is a mini-version of Sheary in his current form in that he is avoiding contact and puck battles as much as possible, esp when he's on a power play. If you notice, most of the board play goes dead when it ends at the stick of Kessel and he's to actually battle it out.
WHY NOT SIT HIM DOWN? I MEAN if he's this liable, why not sit him down for a game? As poorly and careless as they played that game, they were up 2-1 and the way it looked, Philly was doin jack squat. You could actually see the whole thing being a quagmire for the team as the goalie was out of the world for Philly.
How bad would it be to sit Phil for a game, to give him even more rest? Or was it just lazyness that caused that costly mistake? He could have just held the puck for a sec, and he would be fine because there was Crosby, if I am not mistaken on his backhand. But he chose to go cross ice and Fillipula was waiting for it because he had seen it in the same game, at least 4-6 times. Sorry, I am so furious about that play.
Malkin played the entirety of the 2016 playoff hurts.Malkin isn't very good when he plays hurt. If he isn't close to 100% I would sit him. Pens can easily win this series without him
This is not true. He's still a threat to score, which opens up room for his linemates and draws the attention of the opposition.
The beauty of Kessel is that he's got a shot that can change the course of the game instantly, from just about anywhere. He's also one of the better passers on this team.
He's never going to battle, or be a hellacious defender.
Hey...I saw the original lineup in 1987’s Appetite for Destruction tour...rest of the incarnation, I can agree with you...but not the 1987 version....
