Did it?
They still had 0 points out there. Just like Kunitz on line 2.
I hope JR sees this and gives us some kind of fix:
Tlusty-Crosby-Hornqvist
Perron-Malkin-Comeau
would be an (easily acquired) improvement over what we have now.

They played a lot better than KCP though.
Perron, Crosby and Hornqvist all had points outside of their line though. Don't believe Kunitz did.

Yes it worked. They played great. They were fantastic together, despite the lack of ES production. That was the best either Sid or Horny has looked since, well, the last time they were together.

Agreed. And yes they are playing solid individually, but Kunitz is not. Meaning the other guys can all be pieces of the top 6 puzzle, but Kunitz shouldn't be.
Seems like you and I have different definitions of "fantastic".

Tlusty is not very good and has never produced like a top 6 forward over a full season.

I have absolutely no clue how you could watch that game and think otherwise. That was the best Sid or Horny have played since October. Maybe you only saw the last 5 minutes? The whole team went flat at the end.
Heard from multiple people that he is a little banged up, I think one of his wrists?

Best game since the first month of the season. Hopefully they can play that way against the Panthers.

Let's Go Pens!
It's been done like that for many a year. Guess I don't really see why some people get offended by it.

I hate admitting this because it is Philly, but I love their tradition with God Bless America and Kate Smith. That song gets to me more than our anthem does.

To be really honest with you, if I had to rank the needs we have right now, it would be bottom 6 help, mainly a 3rd line center who can produce offense, and a physical defenseman.
Hornqvist, Perron, Comeau, and Kunitz (I guess you could sort of add Bennett in there) is actually one of the best winger corps we have had. Being able to take some pressure off of them with a better 3rd line is key, and we have to find a strong shutdown defenseman who brings a physical element.
I am not a huge fan of him, even dating back to him getting drafted by Toronto.

How cheap is he?
And why would you slot him onto the 1st line instead of the 3rd

I may be older but I'm never forgetting #47 & #41
Any lineup that includes Adams is not the 'best' lineup
Which might be why he said "close to."
Any lineup that includes Adams is not the 'best' lineup
Adams isn't getting scratched unless we add a forward at the deadline and even then Bennett/Downie could easily get scratched before him unfortunately.
Perron - Crosby - Hornqvist
Kunitz - Malkin - Comeau
Winnik - Sutter - Bennett
Spaling - Lapierre - Downie
Adams

The top 2 lines were really the difference last night. Both had significant O-zone time. 2 ES goals from them and a PP goal. Bottom 6 was brutal though.
