Hmmmmm what else is there

the coach does nothing to change it.

That line is and will be solid in the RS but if the Pens get to the POs we’ve seen this puppy before...they aren’t good enough defensively or physical enough with the puck...Sullivan will have to make changes accordingly...since he won’t, reason #52 to fire him ASAP

We won a Stanley Cup while regularly using this line and it's rarely been since then - a grand total of five games over five minutes - with only one bad playoff game in that time. So I don't think it's accurate to say we've seen this one failing before.

Could it really be much worse than this?

I don't get how you can't try something else.

 

[Gurglesons]

These make less sense with no context but I tied them all together in my article today. The Penguins, Stars, and Lightning are all running a 1-3-1, but my goodness are the results different in each circumstance.

Martin St. Louis recently told my buddy Greg Revak from Hockey Arsenal a good power-play should be a shot every three to four passes. Consider that when watching the Penguins.

Sounds like Martin St Louis has come up with the perfect Pittsburgh Penguins Power Play drinking game.

Take a shot every time four passes results in no shot by the team on the PP.

or even someone else.

maybe not this exact one but we’ve seen enough of Sid and the smurfs of whatever incarnation to know it doesn’t work in the POs...one reason I’d prefer to move Zucker up and Jake down to L2..Zucker at least plays a slightly heavier game

[Andy99]

yeah it’s bad...and Murray has been moving up the worst of list, whereas Jarry...,

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s the defense tho.

 

[Ugene Magic]

When you play games every 5 days kind of has something to do with that.

 

[LOGiK]

Jarry is good...... at giving up goals.

Did ZAR play last game i forget?

add:

Just checked, nope.

My dude you would have TOTALLY noticed him out there because of his game-changing ability to stand in the right spots to push the bean counters' charts into overdrive.

 

[Gurglesons]

Welp.

Welp.

Taking bets now-- COVID, Injury, or Trade?

He got hurt in the Isles game.

We have seen this exact line though. It works in the playoffs. Or at least, did in the past.

Sheary-Crosby-Guentzel is the only Sid and small guys line that hasn't worked in the playoffs.

It did in spurts. But that was back in the day when lines were changed based on home ice adv and opponent and not fixed forever regardless of result. Looking at you Mtl series.

Stop scaring away the marks.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Would anyone even notice if McCann was injured if they didn’t make an announcement?

 

[dogthateats]

There’s a joke here somewhere. Besides our power play

Which line are you referring to?

When ZAR is the replacement?

 

[Tom Hanks]

Since McCann-Blueger-Tanev came together they’ve been really good. Great possession stats, out scoring, out chancing opponents with heavy D zone starts. On ice save % of 94.74!

We need everything to go right at the moment so not the best news.

I love my 5030s as a defenseman

The team should play with them

They suck anyway. At least they can meme out there a bit
