Anyone notice how whatever line rakell is on plays well and whatever line rust is on is trash

His GTG aside, I feel like Rust is one of the biggest issues with this team, and the fact that whichever line he's on immediately tanks is a huge issue.

It's also why I can't buy the "he's streaky" argument. A streaky guy still can provide something to his line that doesn't negatively affect the other two players with him.

I don't think he's "streaky"...I think he's just not super talented, but he's fast, smart, and tenacious...well, he used to be all of those things...now, he's less of those things...as soon as the speed and tenacity dropped to just, say, 8 out of 10 or 8.5 out of 10 from 9.5, his game falls apart because, ahem, he's not a top line RWer and he never was...he punched up for a bit, but his game wasn't sustainable past 30...

That said, 50ish points and some detail work isn't so bad at 5 bills or whatever he makes...

How many times is Anaheim gonna let the Pens throw it through the middle? Yikes

About as many times as we're allowed to find loose pucks near Gibson in scramble situations...

Next game isn’t the best time to do it considering he scored a big goal today but I would consider throwing Rust on the 3rd line for a bit with carter and McGinn to pick up that line and maybe try Kapanen in the top 6

Rusty is a dash 12, twice as bad as the next forward (Mr. Hole or whatever)...so, he's not above being moved around the lineup...just be careful with how you distribute your RHS...it's hard to complete passes on a line with everyone having the same handedness, don't set guys up for failure when you're trying to jostle them awake, ya know?

No organ music tonight. We're lucky to get two points

If you go say Guentzel Crosby Kap, Zucker Malkin Rackell, McGinn carter Rust, none of those lines are all RHS right?

Why are they phasing out the organ music?
