Yeah, but he has sexier hair.

@KIRK I think I know why Jake looks exhausted on GCR.

Crosby makes him and Rust do all the work down low. Malkin typically fills that role on GMR.

 

[Fordy]

so is erod in this game? angello would at least hit someone

 

[Andy99]

What's kinda sad is that, I find it more likely that the Flyers will tie than for us to hang on for the RW.

sounds like you’ve watched our defense before

 

[ColePens]

2nd time he has done that this year in a big moment.

He is really recognizing the situation. Situational hockey.

 

[Dangles78]

The Pens have a better chance scoring during a commercial break than when the 4th line is on the ice.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Didn't they try it?

Kapanen changed just before the rush happened, so Tanev jumped in as the trailer, got the shot and McCann followed up.

On the 4th line: "A lot of faith by the coaching staff in this line"

 

[Bingo71]

Flyer PP coming up soon...

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yeah, but he has sexier hair.

My hair's pretty legit. But yes, not THAT legit. Nobody can meet those standards bruh.

 

[Gurglesons]

Didn't they try it?

No they tried Tanev - Malkin - Kapanen I thought?

 

[GregR]

The Flyers have had a guy wide open in front of the net behind the defense multiple times during this period.

 

[Bingo71]

On the 4th line: "A lot of faith by the coaching staff in this line"

What is “When coaches are wrong”?

 

[Fordy]

No they tried Tanev - Malkin - Kapanen I thought?

nvm misread

 

[Gurglesons]

broken shift

We are talking prior to this game.

yepp

 

[ColePens]

STOP TRYING TO BE CUTE.. SHOOT IT

 

[DesertedPenguin]

What is your point, specifically? Did you read that I said my point was somewhat hyperbolic? Are you actually trying to argue that Malkin takes shorter shifts than Crosby or what? I have 15 years of evidence to prove that as bullshit lol. Crosby has 2 minutes more even strength time than Malkin. That's pretty standard. Many games it's more.

You and others have been bitching that Malkin's had shifts skipped. He hasn't. Crosby and Malkin are playing the same amount they traditionally do.

 

[vodeni]

No they tried Tanev - Malkin - Kapanen I thought?

no it was the change..but nevertheless...without Zucker in the lineup I'd try that and have Kappy play with Bluegs and Zar

 

[Ugene Magic]

Nets the other way... ZAR.

 

[Gurglesons]

lol Marino.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

McCann us playing with his hair on fire and that's helping L2 look dangerous. They look pretty good this game. L1 continues to disappoint. I guess that means I'm seeing stuff that isn't there in my obsession with GMR.

 

[End of Line]

Ice ice baby...

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Guys all jokes aside... We really, really need this one

 

[KIRK]

You and others have been bitching that Malkin's had shifts skipped. He hasn't. Crosby and Malkin are playing the same amount they traditionally do.

Yep. It's just that Sid has really extended his shifts today. Egregiously so a couple of time.
