EVIL LAUGH
Hey now...I saw you back in the corner... looking to get freaky...
Aka you just want tons of points Teddy in the top 6.If I was Sullivan, I’d send a message with this line up.
Malkin - Crosby - Rust
Guentzel - Bleuger - Kapanen
Zucker - McCann - Tanev
Let Malkin and Sid cheat as much as they want but solve the issue by putting them together.

I think I moreso want this team to not have two invisible lines and Bleuger and McCann are actually producing.
There certainly is something to be said for letting Crosby and Malkin be invisible together.
Minimize the damage and all that.
Frankly invisibility would be an improvement over some of what I'm seeing out of these two.
As I've said, the most thankful person for Geno's version of train wreck right now should be Sid, because, for example, Geno's role in the 3 on 0 on Tuesday made it easy to forget Sid's role moments later in the turnover that led to Boston's game winning goal.
It's just really ******** bad right now. I mean, when Sully can protect Sid with home ice matchups or the opponent is crap, there's probably a little more good than bad. Geno's just a ******* mess.
But, you're not Sullvan, so the lines will be . . .
Whoever Sid Wants from Jake and Zucker - Sid - Whoever Sid Wants from Rust and Kapanen
Whoever Sid Doesn't Want - Malkin - Whoever Sid Doesn't Want
McCann-TB-Tanev
Whatever-Whatever-Whatever
Funny thing is, however hyperbolic that may be, it's infinitely closer to the truth than the fanciful stuff people here think should happen.
Easily as bad as I've ever seen it.
I have to wonder WTF he was thinking showing up like this. It honestly makes me lose some respect.
If sully was on his true last legs...
Guentzel, Teddy, Rust
Zucker, McCann, Kapanen
Tanev, Jankowski, Sceviour
Letang, Crosby, Malkin
POJ, Marino
Weber, Ceci
Czuczman, Ruhwedel
Jarry, DeSmith
Just f**king win, stop with the injuries and stop looking like shit! That’s not hard...
Relax. I think it's exaggerated. Typical lost in translation shit with Malkin. I took it to mean not in as good a shape as he might have in a non COVID world (like last year) rather than he sat at home all summer filling himself with champagne, caviar, and pizza. And, as I noted in another thread, I remember arguing with @ColePens in October 2016 that Malkin's legs were dead and this was it.
The other exacerbating factor, by the way, is the team not playing a 5 man game (same as you've seen with Sid).
Look, I'm more worried that this is a more permanent issue, although you won't know that for sure until after a coaching change.
But, this drama queen 'all he did all summer was eat borscht' crap . . . c'mon, save that for the idiot wing of this forum.
I don't claim to know one way or the other. I trust very little of what I hear about Malkin from the media. But I'm just saying he's sure playing like he's in horrible shape and has zero confidence in anything he is doing out there.
Dude literally noped out of a clean breakaway. That's like... wow.
But I mean yeah I'm going a bit over the top. But this has SUCKED as a Malkin fan. My goodness. It would be fine if the team was winning or playing winning hockey but nope.
SidMario would have him fired before it came to that.
And in comes tonight...
Which, I won't be watching and out watching the band Dancing Queens, drinking heavily...
Disco...Baby! Stayin' Alive...
I'd tell ya where, but I don't want anyone see me get freaky ugly... creepy...
I like how they are still trying to ham-fistedly funnel pucks to Malkin for him to send high and wide at like 40MPH.
Evidently it is...Just f**king win, stop with the injuries and stop looking like shit! That’s not hard...
Caps PP has been average the last couple of years. But don't worry. The Pens scooped up their mastermind coach and put him in charge of their PP now. Should reap those rewards any day now.Malkin should be an option, not the only choice. Every single time I see Crosby/Malkin on the left, or aimlessly roaming around, I know nothing is going to happen, or if it does, it's pure luck. They put Rust on the right, which is the correct idea, but then they make the PP flow through him, which makes no sense.
Ever since the departure of Kessel (not suggesting anything here), they can't seem to figure this out.
Go back to what works!
Not to keep mentioning the Caps PP, but they pretty have had the guys in the same place the past few years.
