GDT: GDT #55 - Everybody Murphy Dumps! A Pens - Buffalo Book for Young Readers

[KIRK]

That's especially concerning because against a team like the Bruins we will need the secondary lines to step up to win. Sid's line will have its hands full with the B's top line, for example.

I think Malkin looks blah anyway, so it's not like he'd suddenly be great the second Sullivan changes L2 LW. Then again, the last two years, Malkin has been great with anyone but Zucker and crap with Zucker, so maybe he would be.

Pens fighting for home ice advantage in round 1. Looking for a big boost from the 38 people in the arena for energy

Omg Zucker telepathically forcing Kap to run into Geno

 

[Lomez]

Geno seems a bit off, missing a cylinder or two. Playing curiously without confidence.

 

[KIRK]

Does anyone seriously think that if Crosby and Malkin switched LWs, their fortunes at ES wouldn't completely flip?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Geno trying to take the rest of the season off

 

[Jacob]

McCann - Malkin - Kap looked great, go back to it.

Does anyone seriously think that if Crosby and Malkin switched LWs, their fortunes at ES wouldn't completely flip?

What about Sid and Geno on the same line. Sounds crazy but maybe switch 59/71

 

[KIRK]

A little concerned about Malkin, moderately concerned about Jarry, and very concerned about the PK.

I think the Malkin line is a team killer come the playoffs.

 

[Darren McCord]

And took advantage of the speed by actively cutting off passes and putting on pressure and stuff. If only!

hey man. no team is lucky to have 3 guys like that

As much as I like Blueger, Carter was a much needed upgrade.

Carter has 75% of Bluger's goals in one game. He now has 8 goals as a Penguin in 13 games. The thing is, as streaky as Bonino was, I think it shows the importance of having a productive third line center there. Don't get me wrong, Blueger is easily a 10-12 goal guy and 25-30 point player, but having a 15-20 goal scorer and 40+ point third line center is such a big difference.

Kappy!!!

 

[66-30-33]

McCann - Malkin - Kap looked great, go back to it.

Jankowski-Malkin-Kap

I dare you Sully.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Terrible 2nd assist by Zucker. What was he thinking there?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Love me some Kappy.

Dat Boy Got Swagga

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Kappy!

 

[cygnus47]

Now that's f***ing more like it. Good plays by all 3 forwards there.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Like I said earlier.............

Baptized

 

[wgknestrick]

Best pass I've seen from Zucker all year.

 

[Darren McCord]

McCann - Malkin - Kap looked great, go back to it.

not with how good the third line looked tonight

 

[Pancakes]

I think Malkin looks blah anyway, so it's not like he'd suddenly be great the second Sullivan changes L2 LW. Then again, the last two years, Malkin has been great with anyone but Zucker and crap with Zucker, so maybe he would be.

Geno is dishing some great passes still but he looks like he did earlier in the year again where the legs are just kinda not all there. Hopefully that's just rust.

 

[KIRK]

So, on the one hand, Zucker-Malkin-Kapanen has a goal in each of the last two games.

On the other hand, they range from okay to dog shit (and skew towards dog shit) pretty much the entirety of the rest of the time.

Thing is, a goal like that validates Sullivan's lunacy in his own mind.

 

[Trade]

Was actually upset Geno passed for a second.

Should’ve known Geno knew what he was doing.
