Maybe we should try Kreider with Eric Staal.
I mean, that's what happened in practice today. Wonder if it stays once Nash comes back in. Figure Hayes is the scratch, since Nash will likely go with Brass-Fast again.
So Hayes is getting scratched and Jesper Fast still holds onto a top 6 winger spot. AV, why are you the way that you are?
FAST IS NOT A TOP 6 WINGER.
I know that is what happened in practice but i would like it to stay that way. Maybe it would be good to play with a guy like Staal as opposed to Stepan. I think Eric will get on Kreider when is not pushing it enough. I dont think stepan does considering theyve played together for years now since, coming up roughly the same time.
It's pretty funny to believe that someone is needed to get a hockey player to give more of an effort, not that it would work, anyway.
So kunitz would put up the exact same career numbers without Crosby. Good to know.

hard to read this and not comment,
since the visions from the Detroit/Pens weekend still make me nauseous
Hayes out there, just watching 4 key goals against over 3 periods and an OT, within 24 hours,
Hayes has not been better than Fast or Lindberg -
maybe be he could/should be,
but he hasn't
Hayes on the wing is such a head scratcher. its been done over and over again! it never works AV. Its insanity. Play him at center. its similar to not putting yandle on the first power play until after almost a year. such misuse of a talented offensive player
Especially considering Staal had been playing wing all season in Carolina.
Staal is can play both. Hayes is horrible at winger, good at center.
So put him back up at 3C and move Staal up to the top 6 which slides Fast down the lineup. Win-win-win.
Odds that AV tries this?

lmaoooo
It makes sense so you can bet Clowneault won't do it
They've been gradually drifting away from the center of this plot:
