Their play will definitely decline a bit...our real ace in the hole is if Olli bounces back from everything this year and becomes the Lidstrom Jr. that we all hope he can be.This seems to be one of the worst seasons ever for some reason. It just sucks. If Sid wins the Art Ross I'll be happy, he's deserved them all for the past 5 years or so. Anyone else have a feeling of ... just... suck for the next 5 years, then Sid/Geno will be too old, and the suck will continue for a long time.

“Doan was running around like an idiot today,†defenseman Ian Cole said.
...
“It looked late to me,†Cole said. “That said, the ref was looking at it, and he told us he didn't think it was late. I thought it was late. Not super late but late. It's an extremely awkward spot for a defenseman to be in.â€

He's so good, you can't let him jump by you. I wanted to get a piece of him so he couldn't jump by me. We have to finish our checks on him. I didn't mean to hit him like that. You never want to see that, especially a guy of his caliber and everything he's been through the past few years.â€
In DK's defense, he did put up a positive tweet...but yeah, he seemed to lose interest in the experiment pretty quickly once BB started putting in a strong game.
rofl @ "dessert" rats hehe (though I admit I had to google the spelling first)
Every forechecker on every team wants to crush Letang, and he plays 25+ mins a night, so there's ample opportunity. Pretty much no one ever would purposely hit Adams, because it's not worth the energy...no surprise why he's such an ironman.If only Letang had Adams durability talent ..... **** man! I still can't believe Letang can be done for a long time! Praying for the best!

I didn't want to clutter up the injury thread.

We all need to pray to the hockey gods: Please leave winnik on the top line. Please leave kunitz and letang on the second power play.

I'm kidding! We're gonna win the Cup.
Here is a plus that I don't think anyone has mentioned.
+ Crosby not getting seriously injured after his goal. I swear I saw a skate come right down on his chest....I was surprised with the pens luck that it wasn't a lot worse.

So how long until the coaching staff realizes Kunitz serves absolutely ZERO purpose on the PP?
