And of course no changes to the lineup after that loss. Nice.


Great. I’d say JR needs to take a toy or two away but he was the one who added Reaves and sullivan seems to have gotten over kuhnhackl. Hagelin at least did something offensively last night.

If Corrado wasn’t near having to pass though waivers again and Bengtsson wasn’t hurt I’d say Hunwick deserves to be scratched, or Dumoulin might benefit from it.

Sorry but I don't get the rationale for continuing to play Rust and Horny on their worst sides--it's not like they did anything last night there. In addition to our other issues, I'd include the coaching staff because we should be putting our players in the worst position to succeed....

yeah, I could understand moving one of them to LW purely out of necessity. But not both. There's just no reason to move both to LW.

Looking for volunteers to do a GDT for either or both of the next two games. Please and thank you :)

That's the extent of Sullivan's line-up creativity.

There's only so much one can do when the ship is sinking for more pronounced reasons . . .

Rust is a much better 200 foot player on his right side. When he's on the LW, it's not Sheary at RW bad, but it's still a good drop off when Rust plays on the left side.

Why does Crosby get the worn out excuse after 2 cup runs?

Lebron has been to 7 straight finals, is 3 years older, and is playing like league MVP this year.

Rust, Horny, Sheary and Simon all on their off wings.

And Lebron plays "slightly" more minutes, as in 80 percent of the game.

How about Ovi? Never misses a game, I don't see him tired out there.

I'd like to see Lebron take an NHL shift then tell us what sport is more physically draining.

There's a reason guys can only play 40s-1m shifts in hockey.

As for Ovi, he gets plenty of rest in the off season, never being past the second round and all.

How can you compare AO to Crosby, he had an awful season last year and finally decided to lose weight this off season to become quicker. He's been sitting on his ass after 2nd round getting fat the last 2 years, meanwhile Crosby's been out there winning cups and conn smythes.

That was legit one of the worst comparisons I've ever seen and i'm not even gonna touch the Lebron James thing...that's just awful.

It seems obvious, we have three players who play better on the RW and three players who play better on the LW. Why do we insist on putting players in worse spots to succeed?

Because we just won back to back cups! Don’t criticize JR and Sully!
