GDT: #3|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Las Vegas Golden Knights|7:00PM EST|10/11/18|Riiiiiikooooooollaaaaa

[KIRK]

I mean, neither of us have any idea whether or not it'll happen. To speak in absolutes is silly. Is it likely? No. Is it an impossibility? No.

No, it's impossible.

 

[vodeni]

this team has lost concept of supporting each other, there are no open lanes for anyone under pressure,

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Malkin having difficulty clearing the zone

 

[Jaded-Fan]

DeSmith having a great game.

 

[Empoleon8771]

There's really no reason for why the Johnson and Schultz pair continues to stick together or for Simon to stick in the top-9, but they're not going to make any changes after a game they win.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Riikola always gets a man, he doesn't float to a spot where he isn't close to tying up a player.

Smart. Love this kid.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Rig is so dumb in his own zone.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

No, it's impossible.

It is NOT a new phenomenon. It started last year.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Crosby is letting his linemates do the dirty work.

That’s not how you became the best player in the world Sid, show some energy.

 

[ColePens]

Great stuff Sprong!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Zeroing in on Oleksiak makes to realize how much he just floats around mindlessly in the defensive zone.

 

[JTG]

I'd imagine at this stage in the season, sitting for 4 days is way more difficult than playing back to backs. Right now you're looking to get the legs moving and develop chemistry. Sitting idle accomplishes nothing except developing more rust on an already rusty squad.

It's how you conserve energy throughout the season to dominate in the playoffs though, to be fair. Hard to argue with what Sid's been able to do in the post season the past few years despite relatively weak regular season showings for a player of his caliber.

 

[vodeni]

Brassard is so meh, where is that legit 1-2 line center that I heard about...

For whatever reason, he just worked with Cole. Since mid February? He's looked like the guy we got from Dallas. Paying him was a mistake.

He's just not all that bright.
Can't anticipate. Reactions are slow.

I though Sid has been the best player for a long time, he does not need to "become" anything

 

[DegenX]

You just moved the goalposts. A shot alongside Sid? Sure, that Maatta will never be scratched comparison holds.

BUT, Sprong with Geno-Hags. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER.

I seem to recall you saying something about Sprong being Geno's long term winger. What happened to that?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Good point.

It's the soft/lazy passes that get picked off.

 

[Andy99]

Great stuff Sprong!

He’s working...he’s obviously listening to the coaches..,what else could Sully want? Reward the kid...

For sure. It's why I don't think facing the Caps on their back leg of a back to back was exactly a good thing for us as well.

 

[KIRK]

Remember how great our 3rd line was going to be?

Fortunately, everything is now moving towards Brass with Phil.

Can someone post the Smug Sully pic?

 

[ColePens]

He's definitely weak in the d-zone, but you are quite negative as of late. I think this is the best Big O has looked in a while. He looks really comfortable with Riikola. Much more confident.
