I thought he looked good last night (people use "great" way too often). Really good the first period, then the second not as good but he had good chances which was a nice sign I felt. The third period the entire team seems to back off so I'm willing to leave that open to interpretation. I think if he plays that way he usually is money in the bank for at least a point and probably two, and it wasn't even a great game for him. Just better than he's been. It was odd to see Malkin leading by example while Sid mostly sat and watched, passenger-style.
The goal total is the real worry, and that's really saying something when he only has 7 assists in 18 games.
This right on.
to piggy back on this, same for Geno's performance: it wasn't great as people say. His possession game was actually off, got pinned down pretty much throughout second and third. He wasn't"galloping" as people were saying, he wasn't dominating no more than he was since the beginning of the season. It really helps when your shooting percemntage climbs up to some decent numbers and people start scoring goals instead of goalies chests.
and don't forget pretty much dead even game with Wilds, our standards a re so low if they don't look totally dead people are willing to exaggarate
