He'll be up with the big club eventually. Cole and Warsofsky replaced with Letang and Pouliot is a massive....MASSIVE upgrade.Meanwhile, Pouliot's scored for WBS & they're up 3-0 in the 3rd.

Emergency GDT vs Bruins.
Everybody has been getting on Sid's case, but honestly, he has now 8 points in his last 8 games, while Malkin has only 2 in that span. Geno isn't playing badly, but he has vanished off the score sheet. This just goes to show that stats aren't everything. Geno still looks much more dangerous than Si...

Ah, yes, that would explain the big gaps in his game log. Not surprising. He has heart but sadly a fraction of a brain.Regular scratch for players with less experience...Not good. Either he is hurt or not dressing regularly.Wonder how Bortuzzo is doing...

Kunitz not on the scoresheet but he figured in on both goals. It would be nice for that line to click for Sid. Sheary looks like a heady player - which he will need to be to make up for his diminutive size. The thing is, there's now a niche in the league for smaller, skilled players with speed. I r...

Daley is looking like he's gonna be a nice fit here.....then again, after watching Ian Cole, I'd probably look good out there by comparison.

I'd be willing to bet that Tocchet doesn't condone the 80 ft backhand saucer pass through the box or the blind drop pass near the blueline. With this talent they should be middle of the pack just by accident.Good thing we kept Tocchet.

They should make 87 pay a fine whenever he tries one of his trademark moronic low-percentage cross-ice passes with the man-advantage. In fact, forget the fine. Jus whale the tar outta him. Seriously, any time he gets that idea in his head of making that stupid pass, he should just blindly fire the ...

I can't remember Cole being this bad last season, but right now he is one of the worst defensemen I've ever seen take a regular shift at the NHL level. For real doe.

A Crisis of Confidence
Crosby is a terrible captain/leader and a mental case. This team has numerous other issues but the one I just mentioned exacerbates all of them. ...and to add more to this, as I mentioned in the OP, say Crosby had just 10 more points (29 in 30 games, still FAR below his career average) the team cou...

I'm sure they were super loose and had tons of fun when they were 10 points out of a playoff spot in February 2009. It's a fine line, that balance of having fun and relaxing but yet having urgency and desperation when needed. That "extra gear" seemed to start fading as early as the 2010 playoffs. I...

Haha no, the poster formerly known as RxBandit66. Seriously though - the Pens' power play should be INTIMIDATING. They should be letting pucks fly and cycling at will to set up those one-timers. Defenders should fear risking injury when they dive in front of those shots. Come out with swagger on the...

A Crisis of Confidence
This team is filled with players who have put the puck in the net at every level they have played at, including this one. The current drought, or slump, or whatever you want to call it, is simply a crisis of confidence. These guys are clearly lacking in that department, and it's apparent that many p...

I'm slowly entering a weird combination of Penguin malaise and helplessness I haven't felt since the days of Ramzi Abid and Rico Fata.

Possibly...but the Scuderi trade helped JR's cause a bit, at least with the fan base on here.and Rutherford...or is he part of that group...?The smart 3/4s.Scuderi a scratch in Sullivan's first game...that won over three quarters of the fan base right there...

Well, Rutherford did say he wanted to improve morale and lighten the atmosphere in the locker room a bit...K. Da $He's also married to a pornstar apparently...so maybe he brings locker room morale too?

I disagree with Jay's assessment that Holtby was the difference tonight, The Caps looked like the better team throughout. They were - Pens gave up too many odd man rushes - but I think his point is that when the game was 2-1 for the longest time, the Pens had a gazillion chances to tie it, but per ...

I wish Daley was a righty, but good trade True, looking at their defense, Olli, Dumo, Pouliot, and now Daley all lefties. It's not as big a concern with Kessel, Horny, and Perron up front, along with Fehr and BB if healthy, all righties. There was a time, around 2010-2012, when the whole team was l...
