Le Magnifique 66
Let's Go Pens
Jarry kept us in it big time in the first period. Playing great of late

It’s a little concerning to see KK repeating the line blender issue he had in Toronto.
We’ll see how it goes, but my concern was always giving up a first for a great third liner - but expecting him to fill a top six role.

Yep. Big guns look very mortal at this point and we have just not been an explosive offensive team as a result. Jake, injury recovery or not, ain’t helping matters. Could really use a big addition to the top 6 at some point in the future.
Weird how Kap is mysteriously sent to the 4th line while Zucker is getting away with murder almost every game. Tonight that L2 was hurting us so much, Geno, Zucker... And that was the only line that stays the same all game??? Hahaha. Glad that we won but it surely wasn´t because of Sullivan.
I don't know, maybe we start tampering through the media and intimating that we want him.
Zucker had a couple really, really nifty plays. Yes he took the penalty and yes Malkin's pass hit off his skate but he was far better than #71.
#71's a disaster not gonna lie.

Also, Matheson and Marino isn´t exactly a 2nd pair. They were basically treated like a 1st pair tonight. Marino with almost 25 minutes and Matheson over 24 minutes. Once Dumo is back, we are gonna have 1A and 1B pairs. 3rd pair is some combination of POJ, Petts and Ceci who are all around equal IMO. Matheson-Marino has some excellent potential, that´s for sure.

I really think you're overstating things. Malkin took a bad tumble into the boards there, who knows what happened there. And yeah this season has not been good but he was very good last game and tonight would have been ok but had too many flybys. Not sure if that line will be sustainable, I think Malkin should stay with Rust but I would try Guentzel and send Zucker to L1. There are still lines that haven't been tried
I mean, Sullivan is playing Lafferty who is absolute shit over Kapanen so.
Kap also hit a cross bar.
POJ is coming back to Earth, I mean he is fine but some 3rd pair role would suit him just fine. If Dumo-Letang finds some form that would be huge for us. Talking about some trades, I am not impressed with Petts tbh. I would look at him before looking at Dumo probably.I'd just move Dumo before all that.

Ya, I expressed my concern last year around this time about moving a 1st and good prospect for Zucker... then wasn’t thrilled with the KK deal because I saw first hand how he could never stay in the top six in Tor.
Second line still blows and JR invested two firsts and Addison into fixing it.
Hard not to be a little frustrated.
Yeah, neither Sid nor Geno looks especially dangerous 5-on-5 anymore and that's not a good thing. Our top-6 wingers are complimentary to them and...well, complimenting average top six centers isn't what you need.
Maybe we generate a lot more from the back-end. I never thought our defense would be this dynamic but with Math, Ceci and Marino rounding back into form they are dangerous out there.
To be fair, I think it is a little premature to think it will turn out the same for KK as it did in TOR. The second line has been a black hole for offensive production.
