Gotta beat Kuhnhackel out for that third line hat.
I hate you
Gotta beat Kuhnhackel out for that third line hat.
Thanks!!! He's a really good baby, my wife and I are super lucky! We took him to a Pens game in our company box a few weeks ago, and he loved everything about the arena, check us out haha
Exactly! Kessel and Sheary can help make the third line dangerous and Phil will still get 1st unit PP duty.
I'm glad he's coming up because, at this point, there's no reason not to do it but hopefully people keep their expectations realistic. He's not some fix-all and the team is still a couple sizeable moves away from actually righting the ship imo.
Still, it feels like the first good idea in a while.
Nice, adding speed and a shot like that could help. Now hopefully Letang and Schultz come back soon so the forwards can actually receive the puck...
Showcasing for the Lovejoy deadline trade.
He'll probably play with Hagelin and Malkin with Kessel sliding to the 3rd line, if I had to guess.
Probably with Geno.

Hagelin-Malkin-Sprong

That’s not what I would do, but what I think will happen.
Wilson will start over Sprong
Playing Sprong with Malkin and Kessel would be the smart thing to do, which is why it will NOT be happening.
I'd play Phil with Sid and Jake. I know, Sid likes playing with Phil even less than he likes playing with Horny, but we've tried everything else with Sid, including giving ******* Reaves more looks with him.
And, let's also be honest . . . we don't have a LW on the roster or in the organization to crystallize Geno and Phil, two great players, into a great line.
My lines . . .
Jake-Sid-Phil
Hags-Geno-Sprong
Sheary-Sheahan-Horny
I say stick him with Crosby. Who cares.
Indoctrinating him at a young age into being a pens fan, love it! And he is adorable!! So happy for you guys.

Have no idea why Sully doesn't try this either since he's putting the lines through a meat grinder anyway. I'll just be happy if he flips Phil and Horny and plays Sprong with Geno. But he may play Sprong with Sid, although there's no one there that will be forechecking....I just hope for God's sake he doesn't stick Sprong with Sheahan....
I'm down for that. I'd prefer him with Geno but I'd give that a go too.

Sheary-Sheahan-Horny
If you really HOPE that about what he doesn't do, then pray . . . a lot.
I know... is it wrong of me to distrust Sully and think he'll play him in the bottom 6 and Kuhn in the top 6? Given Sully's comments about Sprong yesterday, I have a vision of him starting Sprong with Sheahan just to spite JR or whomever decided to call Sprong up because it sure as **** wasn't Sully
