It's amazing how much easier games get when you have those 2 play to their abilities

 

[PensandCaps]

Pearson in for Simon and this line-up is set and as close to perfect as you can get.

 

[Icarium]

They should suspend Geno more often. What a response.

 

[Jacob]

I love wild horse Malkin

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Never doubt Geno.

Berzerker mode could be engaged at any time, and then whoever we're playing is f***ed.

 

[KIRK]

Yes @KIRK we know ZAR in the top 6 against teams like the Isles, Caps, Tampa, etc is not what we want but here's the kicker... nothing else is working. So maybe splitting it all up and going with an unconventional route gets it going.

Fine by me, honestly.

Jokes aside, I 100% am in the same place, and I 100% think it's why a LW like Dzingel should be JR's top target, maybe even before defense.

You see what happens when he and Phil get someone who sort of fits the bill . . .

 

[Ogrezilla]

Maybe they just needed a LW on their line?

I like you saying this while pining for a different RW to take that spot I think Rust would be good there, but he's not a LW.

 

[KIRK]

Wild horse Malkin is the Pens X factor.

Always has been.

It's why JR needs to do something.

What is the crowd chanting?

Let's not get TOO EXCITED about ZAR-Geno-Kessel against a crap team. I remember a lot of people saying Rust-Bjugstad-Kessel was the next big thing after a win against a crap Ottawa team.

EDIT: @ColePens . . . THIS is our destiny. I feel like I'm watching @pixiesfanyo drive off a cliff . . . in my new Porsche.

I know I know, and that’s a good point. We’ve seen lightning ina bottle before many times.

But even if the line doesn’t last, I absolutely love ZAR since he’s been back. He looks so much more purposeful out there, seems to be the first to every loose puck, and even yesterday he was making things happen on L4. Albeit, it was setups by Garret Wilson, so they went nowhere but it was positive. And he looks much better all while not having lost the physical aspects of his game.

Is it me or does he also look quicker? No more listless skating he’s gliding past people in the NZ

 

[KIRK]

Well, I've been saying while ZAR was out that Rust was the best option for L2 LW. Go look it up . . .

 

[OnMyOwn]

L3 looking good.

 

[ColePens]

And that is why I wanted to see Horny and the florida boys.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I'm not criticizing it, I just think it's funny

 

[Pancakes]

I love wild horse Malkin

Gives pleasant flashbacks to his Conn Smythe run in 09 where he was like that every game

 

[ColePens]

Great job by ZAR to turn a blind eye. We are up 3. Don't give 'em anything. Stare blindly by them.

I've been guilty of the same thing lots of times.

Just saying seeing how Geno can be the X factor-- seeing how he's been in cup runs-- I think maybe adding a LW who legit could play with Geno (if the ZAR thing doesn't pan out) might be the biggest need.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Acting tough being down 6-3 McQuaid....

 

[KIRK]

I'm not sure ZAR will be in a rush to fight with anyone anytime soon . . .

 

[Ugene Magic]

Gotta get Geno that 3rd. I dont care how. Just do it.

The win is all we should care about.

 

[ColePens]

Any speedy/annoying guy to play with Bluegs/Cullen would be a treat. We just need a speedy annoying player. LIke a 600k Rust.

 

[KIRK]

I'm not criticizing it, I just think it's funny

You humor easily.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Go away.

I'm on it!

 

[Andy99]

Need to get Horny a goal...he looks like he’s been struggling with confidence
