What the hell is Sully's infatuation with having Rust/Sid play together?

Where would you put Rust?

IMO, I wouldn't want to break up the HGH Line and Sheary looks like he's settling in nicely with Kessel & Brassard.

4th line with Simon on the other side.

Oh my

To troll you?

I hope the rushes only mean that ZAR isn't quite ready yet, although, speaking of strange Sully infatuations, I can't say that I'm surprised that one of Simon/ZAR will ride the bench and Kuhn will play.

On L3 At Lw with Brassard and Kessel. They had immediate chemistry and I believe rust had a couple of goals on this line
Sheary is not a board battler (and frankly neither are Brassard or Kessel
And this is me understanding that typically rust is poor at lw

I'd also be okay trying ZAR there.

I suspect, when all is said and done, that's what will happen, and L4 will be Kuhn-Sheahan-Sheary. Simon will be the 13th forward until Rowney returns. Then, if Sheary falters, I actually could see Kuhn-Sheahan-Rowney.

Excuse me while I take a brief leave to be ill . . .

Yup I said earlier that Shearys fancy alley oop pass basically earned him a permanent placement on that line for 3 games
Sheary is a fine utility type player who can play with Sid sometimes and on L4 but keep him away from brass and Geno

And the Brass and Phil combo absolutely. As soon as ZAR is ready, I want one of ZAR or Rust with Sid and the other with Brass and Phil.

EDIT: I don't really want Rust with Sid, but it's clear that Horny won't be with Sid, not for more than a few random periods at this point.

I would try Rust with Sid the rest of the regular season and I will hope that they will build some chemistry finally.

They did have some good moments to close out the Caps in 2017.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Oh my

Well that makes it official... Pants off, playoffs!

Didn’t they switch Rust and Hornqvist most of last game?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

 

[ColePens]

You can't keep Sid off the ice. Hockey is his drug.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

 

[Andy99]

That means he’s playing, yea...only question is where? I’m thinking he’s replacing Simon or Kuhn (we couldn’t be so lucky) on the fourth line....

 

[Ryder71]

I think we miss him, he brings a dimension to this team we're lacking in. He's a bit different then Horny IMO. I hope he gets his feet wet tonight.

I will bet big time money he's not replacing Kuhn, sadly. PK is so bad and Sully is going to believe Kuhn is the ideal piece.

Sadly a lot of our PK issues are our defense not boxing out. Simple defensive play is needed by all men.

My girlfriend tells me this all the time.

 

[Ryder71]

Six games left, hopefully we play with more structure, particularly with our D zone coverage. Time to shore things up.

Is there an adequate argument to go full on offense from a lone perspective rather than having specialty role players like Kuhn in the line-up?

And Murray.

Like to see Sheary get better on that 3rd line, if not then ZAR or Rust

Just wish we had someone like that Cole fellow on the Jackets.
