RIP Fugu Buffaloed & parabola
+++ Geno: Geno was in assassin mode tonight. On the PP, he wasn't even messing around. He was just all in and trying to keep it simple and fire it. When he's forcing east-west is where he overdoes it. But tonight he took that puck and was just going to the net. And then when they over commit to G, he turns around with a Mario behind the back pass for a great goal. Massive credit to Rusty who is Geno's right hand man. Those guys should NEVER ever ever be separated. Never.
+++ Powerplay (Sid): Sid makes a huge difference. He gets zone entries and forces defenders to watch him. I thought it was great. Geno was NOT forcing it. He was all-in. Rusty floats and is dangerous. His patience/vision is 10000x better than 2016. Horny is there for madness.
+++ Sid: I can also see why Sid loves Simon. Simon is such a puck handler. He loves controlling and controlling. It's EXACTLY what Sid wants. He's not the best player but he really fits what Sid wants to do. Massive credit to McCann and Simon. Great compliments tonight. McCann/Simon have nice chemistry. I don't believe that line is a perfect line, but they at least play how Sid wants to.
+ Horny/Tanev: Horny was beat up all night and just keeps getting after it. Tanev is a never ending tazmanian devil. His motor does not stop. These 2 guys don't know how to flip the switch off. They'll flip it off when they finally leave this world. It's unreal and that energy goes down that lineup.
+ Marino: I do not have any more words. He does something almost basketball like when he goes to retrieve a puck. He just boxes the guy out to the angle he wants to go and picks it up like it's nothing. It's something he needs to teach all dmen of the Pens. It's unlike anything i've ever seen. I tried to zone in on it. I think he's setting guys up and faking them out. It's unreal.
