I don't recall typing that. But I do have two noisy kids, and I am a half a bottle in right now. Maybe you can show me where I said that?
Sprong himself said he's played Left Wing. For me, that's enough to try him at the position.
I didn't recall him being able to.
You can try him there as I said to, NAO, never, ever will I say not to.
But until it is tried, and he clicks with Sid, there is no definitive answer he'll work with Sid.
That's the thing, most talk here is in fact form that any will be better/work with Sid.
More have proven not.
To answer NAO, I do not hold loyalty to Kunitz, I just don't see a proven replacement. I see it as part Crosby and Kessel being who they are but moreso not doing the right things and also adding to the top lines woes. All three have messed up plays, flubbed pucks either rolling off their sticks, shots and over passing.
Individually, Kessel has been the best of the trio.
This takes no blame away from Kunitz, just that he's not the only one faltering.
It's a bunch of forced hockey in my eyes.
I see more of a case to swap both Kessel and Hornqvist then to move Kunitz down.
But it is still early in the season and I'd give them another week, or even two, before making changes.
