Does Crosby’s point-per-game streak end this season?

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Probably more news worthy that prime mcdavid has 10 points in 10 games than 37 year old crosby having 7 in 10

Out of those 10, McDavid only played in one shift in the last one, no?

Looks like the Pens are gonna load their top line to try and get Sid going:

Might as well. If this is their retirement tour let them have fun.

I am in favor of trying anything different, as Sullivan has been stale in his approach for years.

 

[Voight]

Might as well do a Capitals and help Crosby break a Gretzky record by front loading their 1st line with Malkin-Crosby-Karlsson-Letang

Makes sense, Karlssons always been a 4th forward and not an actual defenceman.

3 points n counting tonight

Back to PPG!

I say go for it: Play the big guys on the same line 25 minutes a night. The Penguins can't do much worse than they have so far anyway.

Doubt it. He would of jumped off one of the many Pittsburgh bridges if that was the case. Guy is almost universally hated at this point. He is and was a great coach, but long past his best before date in Pittsburgh.

I imagine he will probably end up with about a point per game even on a lousy team.

Not quite, he has 10 points in 11 games.

Present-tense with Sullivan? Nothing about this is great coaching. He can't get 5 of his top salary guys to even play their averages. His strategy doesn't work and he doesn't adjust to the personnel. His lineup decisions and punishment/reward system are completely ridiculous.
Was a great coach? Sure. A long time ago and that's worthless to the team now.

This isn't just a case of losing the room. He is making trash choices all over the place. He could be outcoached by a random AHL coach these days. No problem. They are 31st in the league and are defending like pre-Mario days. It's legit that bad. Three 2-goal leads choked in 5 games. League worst goals against.

Fire his ass. He's toast.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

You know I'm right.

That the NHL would choose to create a bs record just for Crosby should surprise nobody. They've been doing him favors for his entire career along with the media who hilariously gave Crosby Selke votes last season (despite his 93 ES GA) and a Conn Smythe for a 65 point / 21 goal pace as a minus player.

He's on pace for 115 ES GA this season.

NHL > biased random fan with no compelling argument. Keep pissing in the wind though.

Can someone please let Sullivan know that the Sharks are coming:
