All this hubbub about lacking secondary scoring... well, they are getting plenty of that now, and the stars are sh*tting the bed.

If not for Rust, we would have been shut out by a last place team that played last night and lost 7-1. We got bad quicker then I thought we would.

Hey obscure stat nerds (mikey, etc).

How many teams have lost multiple games in a season in which a player scored a natural hat trick? This year I recall Kessel's and Hornqvist which they won in, but they also lost one with Crosby and now Rust. Dumb.

Not that it really matters, but Rust’s HT wasnt natural.

Penguins are...not good. I felt it was a small miracle shots were 13-13 after 1st period, but Hawks seemed to have much of the domination of play, zone time, and better chances overall. I went to bed at second intermission. Glad I did.

Probably too much to ask that our fate be different than the Hawks and Kings...

Malkin is infuriating me this year. It's a perfect example of why PPG isn't the end all be all. Listless, lazy, and checked out. The issue with Letang is that he has been pretty good most of the time, but when he is off, it nearly always results in a goal against. I would seriously entertain a quality trade offer for Malkin.

Malkin has been on my **** list this season for sure. He has taken a ton of lazy penalties, basically disappears if he's not playing with Phil, can't wait to leap over the boards in OT which has cost them 2 points already this year (I know Guentzel also exacerbated the last one by doing his slug impersonation enroute to the bench but still).

There was also a play in the Ottawa game where Desmith slowly shot/passed the puck up the ice and he just watched it float out to the Sens at center ice, allowing them to dump it in and kill another 20+ seconds of the PP...

Frustrating as hell to watch.

I thought that was last night? Did he not do something similar last night?

We all know that he'll get out of his funk rather sooner than later.

Not to pile on Geno, but in his last 10 games, he has 3 points and is -10. He has one even strength goal since October.

Aside from the Crosby line, the team has been bad 5 on 5 all year (Rust's performance last night aside). They are not drawing enough penalties, and when they do, they are surrendering short handed goals. This 5 on 5 problem dates back to last season, in which an exceptional power play masked many of their issues at even strength.

Adjustments must be made. Soon.

I did that once this year -first time since the Dan Focht era- and felt like a bad fan. It was the first Colorado game. :|

Adjustments scheduled per HCMS:
1) tougher in the battle areas
2) harder to play against
3) play the game the right way

So don't worry, that should turn it around. That and Murray being back.
