This take was hot 7 years ago. Now it’s just a massive pain point. How many years now they’ve had a struggling power play with loads of talent?

23-24 was the anomaly. They were middle of the pack going back to 18-19. Yeah, they had a top 5 from 16-17 to 18-19 but even 15-16 they were middle of the pack. If you track back to the 09 Cup, there were quite a few years where they were top 5 or top 10 so yeah there's been a downward trend since 18-19 but last season the worst by far.

Malkin in front is a choice

Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Mon Sep 23, 2024 12:24 pm

it’s training camp so I’m not gonna overreact. There’s not really any reason to not have Bunting on the PP1 playing at the net at least to start the season with how we ended the last season

When you have Malkin as the net front guy, you're obviously just toying around with something in optimal conditions. Whenever I wanted to experiment tactically, I always gave it to my "green" line first...they'd make me look good, and everyone else would be sold by it haha (or they wouldn't be able to do it, and I went back to the drawing board)...

Heh. Just out of frame are Lil mac and I here. He snagged a puck and a fist bump from Kevin Hayes.

Here we have more proof that hockey players have horrible music tastes.

Nieto admitting Sabrina Carpenter explains a lot

"Sometimes it feels like I don't have a partner."

No, Ryan, that's how others feel about you.

Rakell with the only good selection.

This comment produced audible laughter. Thanks!

I have a feeling that selection is going to resurface on here when he goes through a two week slump.

Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:40 am

implying that Johnny B Goode (among others like Under the Bridge) is a bad selection is a dreadful take

Post by **Gaucho** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:23 pm

Anything RHCP is a bad selection.

I feel like Crosby always chooses a random, but will ultimately be a forgettable, top 40 hit.

Letang has the only acceptable answer.

I like Letang's choice of Cyndi Lauper. Although I think I would have gone with All Through the Night over Time After Time.
