Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Sid walks into Montreal and stone cold stuns them all

[WayneSid9987]

What i'd ice up front atm:

McCann-Sid-Jake
G with 2 of Simon/Bluegs/Horny
Bjugs with Phil and 1 of Simon/Bluegs/Horny
ZAR-Cullen-Blandisi

OR

Simply give Jake-Sid and give G McCann and figure out their RW's.

Huge Win

This team is schizophrenic

More like some of the fans are.

 

[LOGiK]

How many strippers have you named exactly?

Depends. Male or female?

 

[EightyOne]

God the 2nd line forwards can't play defense.

 

[LOGiK]

Old Stiffler and his telestrations can shove it.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Shocking stat.

 

[MrBrightside]

 

[td_ice]

He still might be regardless, but if Jake got significant 1st unit PP time, he would be an easy 40 goal scorer.

 

[pistolpete11]

I get and appreciate what McCann can do for Sid and Jake, but I think he could do the same for Geno and Phil.

Guentzel - Crosby - Hornqvist
McCann - Malkin - Kessel
ZAR - Bjugstad - Simon

...is what I'd go with at the moment.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Guentzel is having a season similar to that of Mark Stone number wise

 

[lastcupever75]

just realized points wise we're only 4 points out of 1st place, but isles have a game at hand. didn't know it was that close.

wouldn't be surprised we're closer to the isles/1st place then we are out of the playoffs if the injured guys get back soon

 

[Jaded-Fan]

He still might be regardless, but if Jake got significant 1st unit PP time, he would be easy 40 goal scorer.

There is no room for a guy on the first line power play that doesn't flub passes leading to odd man breaks the other way.

 

[The GM]

Sid and the twins, looks like a good line

 

[Andy99]

God the 2nd line forwards can't play defense.

I’d love to see McCann with Geno but if Sully’s not going to do that, then give ZAR another chance...I think he looked bad against the Habs because he’s slow and they’re probably the fastest team we’ve faced with the exception of maybe NJD...he’ll likely look better against FLA (although they’re quick too)...but nothing to do with Phil...he’s not being moved off that line although I’d like to see that happen too

Pens look rock solid now than compared to two weeks ago when they couldn't connect a breakout pass.
That was some hard to watch hockey

 

[td_ice]

It's the story of the NHL. I wrote on trade deadline day, Toronto beat writers were on Sirius talking about Toronto needing to get bigger. It is insanity. The NHL will never change.

Ever listen to Barnaby on SiriusXM?

He said the day of the Florida deal, "McMann is the key to the deal. He's gonna be a real good player."

He also liked the Gudbranson deal for us. I don't think he was looking long term, and didn't have a great deal to say on it, but said, "I like the deal for the Pens. Pittsburgh needed a depth dmen, and they got one."

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I thought Simon had a decent game, had a nice skill move here and there

 

[DegenX]

I get and appreciate what McCann can do for Sid and Jake, but I think he could do the same for Geno and Phil.

Guentzel - Crosby - Hornqvist
McCann - Malkin - Kessel
ZAR - Bjugstad - Simon

...is what I'd go with at the moment.

I'd like to see Kessel dropped down to the third line. Not that I want Simon with Geno. Maybe
Jake - Sid - Horny
Bluegar - Malkin - Bjugstad
whoever - McCann - Kessel

 

[LOGiK]

Sid and the twins, looks like a good line

They do look alike! I posted that when they sat on the bench and haven't seen anyone say the same thing. Is that what people are saying or are you saying that off the cuff?

 

[Turin]

If McCann just randomly became a defensively conscious top six winger option that’d be pretty unreal.

 

[td_ice]

Sid and the twins, looks like a good line

Hahaha....yeah, I thought that from his game 1 here, McMann looking like Jake.

 

[Nakawick]

Plus to Cole on the threat title

 

[treeni12]

Malkin and Kessel needs to be broken immediately.

 

[LOGiK]

If McCann just randomly became a defensively conscious top six winger option that’d be pretty unreal.

Regardless, what a steal for Sheahan / Brassard.
Brassard is pure trash.

 

[Ugene Magic]

My issue going forward is, Crosby and Jake were just the same as last year into the playoffs, they need more from everyone else.
