It´s just one poster. He always defends Geno and criticizes Sid. I mean, based on his play, Sid deserves like 10 more points than he currently has, he´s been that good and that critical for us. He doesn´t produce in blowout games (like 7-0 vs NYI or 10-2 vs SJS) but he scores when it´s needed the most. Also should´ve had more points, Sid having the same point total like Jake shows how flawed this argument is. I love Jake, but Sid is on another level than him this season.
Just to clarify, I don´t even blame Malkin for his ES play. He clearly lost his step but he´s holding the ground with lesser players and actually plays some defense too. That´s OK. He just kills the powerplay tho, but that´s also a systematic problem of Pens forcing it to Malkin refusing to understand that he is no longer a big threat with his shot. Once the Pens understand this, the powerplay will get better.
