1. It's hard to make much of a judgment on Sid/Kessel. Kunitz just killed them tonight. What worries me is that Sid is going to kill himself forechecking this year, like Malkin has had to the last few years.
2. Tough to say with L2 too. Malkin had nice jump, but anything that line got going was killed by Plots playing like a deer in the headlights and having Scuderi behind them for like half their shifts.
3. PP looked good. Stars PP scored twice.
4. There are no words anymore for Scuderi.
5. HT to Tom Servo . . .
TOI:
Scuderi: 17:34
Maatta: 16:14
6. As many problems as this team has, they're exacerbated by the worst bench boss in hockey. Mike Johnston is a buffoon. An ***. No imagination. No backbone. Punish the guys like Sprong who have any hop, reward the dog ****.
7. The Perron critics had their case enhanced tonight.
8. I actually am longing to see Jacques ******* Martin coach a team with Sid, Geno, and Kessel.
