With Brassard on board and the Pens looking very likely for a 3rd Cup in a row, Pens can do something that they haven't done ever.
Cutting Malkin and Crosby ice time.
I know I'll get slammed for this, but the way Jake - Riley - Phil have played together, there is no way I break up this line. They are on fire. That drops Brassard to 4th line center!!!
With Brassard on the 4th line, I would drop Crosby and Malkin down to 16 minutes each and give Riley and Brassard 14 minutes each a game. I don't care who we play the rest of the season, we are taking 7 or more points out if every 10 available pints and that will win us the division. On games that are close, Sid and Malkin get ice time increase, but every game my goal would be to reduced both their ice time ready for Cup #3 in row that is coming.
A well rested Sid and Malkin should be the goal.
Simon - Crosby - Reese
Hags - Malkin - Horny/Rust
Jake - Riley - Phil
Rust/Horny - Brassard - Sheary
I fully expect epic postseason beatdowns on the way to Cup #3
