Malkin was asked postgame how he felt about his conditioning and he said it was a real challenge to do anything close to his normal off-season workouts in Russia. He said it was no excuse, but it was definitely challenging.
I really think we're not going to see the typical drastic changes throughout the NHL because of the circumstances created by COVID.
Eventually, we need to seriously consider doing what the Rangers did a few years back. Just a quick, committed rebuild. See if Crosby/Malkin want to stick around. They've earned the right to decide how they want to spend their twilight years. Listen on everyone but Jake, Marino, Joseph, and Kapanen (just due to his short time here).
You could get some serious assets by moving Letang, Rust, Petts, Zucker, etc. Dumo could go either way. I still think he has a ton to give, but I'd move him in the right deal.
Not sure what people expected last night with that D
1. Rocky was able to train in Russia why can’t favorite player?
2. I see a lot more mental mistakes than physical. It’s not winning hockey and not something a leader does.
He should shut up and start playing smart simple hockey.
You honestly don't have a clue about this player and we're all worse for your remarks on him. I don't know any other way to put it.
always has beenCrosby is a bigger issue then many are letting on.
Sid & Friends tanking on another coach, Remember that is how they got GMJR that nobody here wanted as GM & Mike Johnston as HC because guys looked at those guys as HC & GM killersI gotta say, I said at least 2 years ago that Sully wasn't going to get us anywhere again and everyone thought I was crazy.
has he won a FO while PKing yet ?TB is 3rd in points playing 12 mins average, nice.

-Sid and Geno, where you at? Does Allvin need to bring in some leadership?
Not sure what you mean. He is the reason our powerplay is bad I assume?
Neat. How’s Crosby’s defensive game going this year?
I disagree. I think some people here don't understand how mentally checked out favorite player is right now. An X's and O's nightmare.
If only we had a "never say die" type veteran with Cup experience to pick the team up when it's down. A warrior who can dig in the trenches and score the big goal at key times.
You have to pay for those types, usually upwards of 5 mil per.
Maybe we could flip Matheson for one?
Agreed. I’ve probably watched 90% of all those games. I think Jarry is trying to tell us who he is, and I’m starting to listen.Watching games is better than reading numbers
Absolutely. Letang too. They're following the captain's lead. Usually Malkin sits out the run off the coach phase, but this time he's sticking to the captain's program.
has he won a FO while PKing yet ?
You always shift blame from your favorite player. That's fanboy stuff.
Sid hasn't looked great but has won us some games unlike favorite player. To me he doesn't look like he's stealing paychecks like 71.
All the stars need to do better and show lead by example.
5 points in 8 games playing 12 minutes a night, and 55% CF with 22% OZ starts...but you're fixating on the fact that he's struggling in the dot.
