you could be on to something......it's at least worth a try...….the more I think about it, the more I like it. now get kessel back on his own line with brass or maybe flip brass with Sheahan. (Sheahan has played well with phil in the past.)I actually want to see a Hagelin, Sheahan, Hornqvist line and see how that does.
I didn't mind the look of Brass with Crosby, but the biggest issue I have is that it takes the Jake & Sid dynamic away and that's one that the team needs to keep fanning the flames on. If they want to try Brass anywhere, it should be with Malkin. I would give this a whirl...you could be on to something......it's at least worth a try...….the more I think about it, the more I like it. now get kessel back on his own line with brass or maybe flip brass with Sheahan.

And to that point would anyone be surprised if we won 6-2 or lost by that same score? There's no telling what this team will do from game to game. And therein lies my concern. We need a more consistent effort and to manage the puck better. It really shouldn't be too much to ask. Who knows if that'll happen however.I am ok if we lose because the team worked hard and lost because the other team worked harder, but we lose (from last year to this year) because the team is literally its own worst enemy.
It's like seeing a team you know is great, be so ****ing disorganized and then giving up at times when they could be destroying teams.

Drop Kessel to 3rd line and bring Hornqvist to Malkin line and I agree with those lines.I didn't mind the look of Brass with Crosby, but the biggest issue I have is that it takes the Jake & Sid dynamic away and that's one that the team needs to keep fanning the flames on.

Guentzel, Crosby, Sprong
Brassard, Malkin, Kessel
Hagelin, Sheahan, Hornqvist/Rust
Simon, Cullen, Rust/Hornqvist

My first game of the year.
Is it too soon to panic?

We're playing to win games, not please Phil. I totally get what you're saying, but that's the bottom line.Sheahan & Kessel, the redux?
It would be worth a shot, but Kessel seems to not like being away from Malkin. If Crosby can pout and get his way, Kessel should as well.

Malkin and Kessel should play better defensivly if they want to be on a line together. Funny watching them yell at eachother though, they sure do drive eachother sometimes.Sheahan & Kessel, the redux?

Dear lord, man...the horrors you've seen..
Medic! Get him some water!
You're gonna be okay...we're here now...
Also..we have our own zingers. But they're based on advanced stats. Ha!
Murs first game would be Toronto? Err.... not a good idea.
The bottom line is they are scoring a lot of goals, which is helping us win games more than what most anyone else is doing.We're playing to win games, not please Phil. I totally get what you're saying, but that's the bottom line.
Kessel playing with Geno brings out the laziest version of Kessel imaginable.
Welcome.
How do you feel about endless discussion re Austin Matthews? Asking for a friend.....
I think brass would be a better fit with geno than sid. but I also think kessel needs moved from geno more.( he would also help with fo's) I would like to keep the 3 top line model. moving phil would do it. imoI didn't mind the look of Brass with Crosby, but the biggest issue I have is that it takes the Jake & Sid dynamic away and that's one that the team needs to keep fanning the flames on.

at some point enough production outweighs the negatives we see with Geno-Phil. Right now, they are well exceeding that. Change that line when they cool off, but for now it's not hurting us.I think brass would be a better fit with geno than sid. but I also think kessel needs moved from geno more.

the sooner you get the players where they fit the best, the sooner they get to gel. and the better the team will be. imoat some point enough production outweighs the negatives we see with Geno-Phil.
