GDT: #6|Metallica at PPG|Pens on the road to Toronto....Hey #50, It's my Birthday!

[Jaded-Fan]

First time all year that I have seen them look interested or break a sweat.

 

[KIRK]

Rust just cannot play with Sid.

Flipping Rust and Sprong might help 2 lines.

 

[ColePens]

Tangers got walked... but mega ups to his recovery. Woooo man did he get walked.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Rust just cannot play with Sid.

I feel like Rust is almost a better option on Geno's line. The issue I find is that the LW then ends up being Hagelin, that sucks. IF you had a better scoring LW'er (like Jake) on that line with Geno and Rust, it would work much better.

 

[KIRK]

Someone call 911. Tavares stole Letang's lunch money.

 

[DegenX]

Muzz! And then Tanger takes him out ...

 

[ColePens]

I will say.. GOOD EFFORT so far

 

[Shrimper]

Letang just got embarrassed.

You won yourself 4 KIRK points. Good lord does he want Rusty with G.

Happens. Johnny T has nasty hands.

Great start for us. Be nice to get rewarded for it.

Brass as a LW with Geno and Rust probably would be an excellent line.

Problem is, you then need a center for Hags-Kessel . . . or for Sid to agree to center Kessel . . . I know, I kid . . .

Not 'want' or 'not want'. But everyone knows Rust fits anywhere EXCEPT with Sid.

EDIT: Everyone but Sully.

It's worked well in the playoffs and we know Geno likes 1 burner on his line for the quick pass to free up a winger, Hagelin handles the puck like a freaking grenade, Rust doesn't.

I don't know why the coaching staff has it in for Geno with pairing him with Hagelin 90% of the time.

Brass-G-Rust would be filthy

 

[JTG]

Scotiabank Arena? WHen did that happen? That is really weird.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Tavares could be so much better if he had speed...

 

[ColePens]

Cully Sheahan and Horny now. Sprong up?

Not 'want' or

I was thinking the opposite...

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

 

[Son Goku]

Said I wouldn't watch and here I was turning the TV on at 7.. Damn my irrational loyalty.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Either they promoted Sprong or they're already benching him for Hornqvist. I think it's really safe to assume which one they did.

 

[Bingo71]

The Leafs haven’t scored yet???

Sorry, just checking the score. Not watching.

 

[JTG]

Tavares could be so much better if he had speed...

He'd be Conor McDavid. JT has the hands, shot, smarts, and vision...he just doesn't have the wheels.

 

[ColePens]

Nice play Dumo on Marleau.

Man Sid is pathetic on forecheck/neutral zone.

 

[pensfan71]

Ew Guentz-Sid-Rust...

 

[KIRK]

Dumo has looked really strong to start this one . . .

Guess....it’s Sullivan
