GDT: Winnipeg Jets @ Pittsburgh Penguins | 3:00 PM EST

[Pancakes]

Malkin hasn't played a great game by any means but his mere presence as threat has freed up Kessel and Hagelin to run wild this game.

 

[sf expat71]

That was nice... But Hutch almost saved it with his stick. That would've been insane.

 

[crossicepass]

Guys, that was sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[Ogrezilla]

Absolute ****ing BEAUT of a pass.

that's 18 points in his last 22 games I believe. Not too shabby.

 

[Shrimper]

Hutch hit it in.

Hags hatty?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Kessel what a great pass

 

[madinsomniac]

I vote that we only play really crappy teams the rest of the season.... I like this

 

[gopens66]

Fantastic pass by Phil!

 

[JakeNBake59]

wow at the initial save but cruel in goes in off him

Malkin hasn't played a great game by any means but his mere presence as threat has freed up Kessel and Hagelin to run wild this game.

And takes pressure off of sids line.

I think I've even seen him throw a hit this game

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I am really starting to feel the Kuhn. Always in the dirty areas.

Watch the replay. Instead of staying with Kessel, Buff actually stepped out to push Malkin into the corner.

This is so true. That so called chemistry we saw between Phil and Hags was non-existent during the time Geno was out. Now he's back, and the chemistry is there again.

 

[Pancakes]

And takes pressure off of sids line.

Absolutely. Sid's back needs a break from carrying the team.

which happens all the time. It will be huge if his line can score while it happens.

 

[Koempel]

Nice combination of decent speed, some skill and size. More and more looking like a very good 4th liner, maybe more. That goal gave him a lot of confidence.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Absolutely. Sid's back needs a break from carrying the team.

Kunitz is still one heavy mofo to carry.

 

[KIRK]

Yep. Winnipeg is focusing on him. Will love when he's fully got the game legs back and starts wheeling back to support the breakout and then opens things further for Hagelin and Kessel.

Yep, that's the kind of stuff I mean. Hell look how closely Sid gets checked. It's not a coincidence that we spend all game cursing Kunitz and it seems rare in comparison that Sid has the puck with space. It's because teams spend all day watching Sid and are content to let Kunitz and Horny have the space.

Well if you do that with Malkin, Kessel has the ability to make you pay. And Hagelin isn't so unskilled either.

This is why I really wish Bennett could ever stay healthy. I think he's the next best wing on the team for creating offense without the center.

Kunitz is still one heavy mofo to carry.

And here I was, thinking Phil was the one eating all the hot dogs...

You know, dumb penalty aside, Malkin's stick work has been excellent. He's winning the physical battles. As I said, when he gets the game legs back . . .

 

[Speaking Moistly]

He's just trying to boost his iron levels.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Hutchinson is a beast
