Here's to you being right.
Let's go Pens.
I don't know why but I have a good feeling about this period.
If he's hurt then he shouldn't be playing. If you can't skate and keep up then you shouldn't be on the ice. That is on him and the coaches. He's dragging down his line being out there and the top PP.
The 1st and 4th lines have been good to decent. I'd probably mix and match Sutter and Malkin's lines.
I don't see moving Malkin up with Sid helping at this point. You need to create a dangerous line away from Sid to take advantage of matchups.
Not popular, but I'd put Malkin on wing with Sutter. It produced early in the season. Granted it wasn't exactly from a ton of chemistry.
How the hell can this team come out flat every single ****ing game?? Being at home means nothing to this bunch of clowns
Lapierre-Sid-Horny
Downie-Sutter-Geno
**** everyone else. Just roll these two lines rest of the game
I don't think anything is on Malkin, if he is cleared to play that's not on him. What hockey player is gonna say no I won't go even if the trainers/docs say he's good to go. Malkin should be getting limited ice time at the most which is a coaching thing.If he's hurt then he shouldn't be playing. If you can't skate and keep up then you shouldn't be on the ice. That is on him and the coaches. He's dragging down his line being out there and the top PP.
Just so tough to see Malkin not at 100%. It's clear he wants to take over a game...but you can see he just can't. Tough to watch.
2 goals isn't the end of the world. This could be a 5-6 to 0 blowout. It's not. We've played them decent. Not our best game but it still proves we can hang and have a chance.
Why...why would you do that.
The alternative is an AHLer. I think Malkin at 25% is probably still better than putting in Andrew Ebbett or whoever the replacement would be.
