The 55 minutes they played well were meaningless. The 5 they played poorly? That shows how horrible they truly are.
Fair enough. Not what I was seeing but different strokes make the world go round.

yep, the team playing like they did tonight (minus the last 5 minutes or so) is a few tweaks from being a legit contender. But they need to keep their heads out of their *****.
Listen, they played a good game. But the Blues were flat, lets not see it for more than it is. Also, we need to make changes, and if this win in anyway dissuades JR from making a trade. Well, then I just as soon see us lose 7-1.The 55 minutes they played well were meaningless. The 5 they played poorly? That shows how horrible they truly are.

Yes Jordan Staal is the answer! We never had any depth / scoring issues before he left. Look how much he's lit it up in Carolina, playing Top 6 minutes the entire time he's been there, with guys like Skinner and his brother. Playing here with 3rd liners, he's bound to go off.
Is Jordan Staal better than Sutter? Unquestionably. Will he be worth the cost in terms of assets and Cap Space? Almost guaranteed he won't be unless we can somehow ream them in the trade and get them to keep salary at the same time. Good luck with that.

There was just something I couldn't pick out on the breakout. It was definitely different. I wish I could see an overview of this game and the CBJ game and watch the breakout. Something changed.

Just nice to see them play some decent hockey for a change.
I few things that stood out to me
-Sid looked hungry. (No, not Tkachuk hungry)
-Guys were getting on the puck carrier quick and at good angles.
-Backchecking and transitions were much better

You know what's disturbing, you had a completely different take before the game. Well, I believe it was you. If I'm getting you mixed up with someone else I apologize. In any case this win in the big picture isn't exactly a positive.

Here's my big +
We beat one of the Top 3 teams in the league and arguably the deepest team. The way things have been this season I am never complaining about that. There is hope as long as we can do that. Just need to play like that against our own conference in the playoffs.

Yes, sorry had a bit to drink, I was preparing for an absolute thrashing from the blues. Seldom do I drink, having a tough night I guess.

Well they do need size and strength in the bottom six, I don't know that Staal is the answer, but they need someone in that mold.

I agree we shouldn't make it more than it is. It was 1 game. They played well, I am happy about that. However, you are right that you can't draw many conclusions because of 1 game. That is why people shouldn't assume that JR thinks everything is just fine because of 1 game. It works both ways.
That was terrible, and I need to be better, no good excuse for incoherent posts like that.

Perron-Sid-Horny happened, and it was beautiful. Geno and Comeau continued playing great together, and Kunitz hung out on the ice with them on occasion He was even near the goal for Comeau's deflection.

P-C-H is finally a thing. Sadly for the 1st period Zack Sill: 3rd liner was also a thing. 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I'd call that a net positive just because MJ managed to break the bond between Sid and Kunitz.

How is this win NOT a positive, Michael? Honest to God. Yes... i know it's not the end all be all. It's a start. We all wanted AT LEAST a start. This was the start. Most noticeably in Sidney Crosby.
What the hell guys? We wanted to see this. This is what we NEEDED to see.

3rd line was Sill-Sutter-BB for the 1st and the first half of the 2nd. MJ went back to Spaling-Sutter-BB for the last half of the game. Why he didn't know Sill on the 3rd line was a bad idea without having to try it first is really beyond me.
