Is Sid on Prescription drugs?

Sid

Shoot the damn puck Sid.

Phil Kessel is seriously the heart of this team. He's busting his ass out there.

shoulda traded him to make room for Sprong when he only had 2 points in the first 4 games.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Crosby is going to snap and get into some idiotic fight.

It's all because of that great heart-to-heart he had with Sully in Toronto over the offseason....

 

[ColePens]

I want more Geno/Kessel please.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Don't think it's MAF. They've had a ton of time to get used to MAF not going to be here. Seems his mind just isn't on hockey fully atm.

 

[Andy99]

Is Sid on Prescription drugs?

Same prescription given to Letang..

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Crosby is going to snap and get into some idiotic fight.

If it wakes him up I say go for it.

However...that does tend to fix things though...

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Need that insurance goal.

 

[td_ice]

Pens have done a great job of taking away Keller's time and space.

The most recent there by Dumo.

 

[ColePens]

My God... that line!

Sure, but there's the injury risk.

It feels like there's some level of angst about Sid's play in the early part of almost every season for the last several years and the usual narratives get trotted out(pouting, hates linemates, doesn't care, questionable leadership, etc). And then, when all is said and done, he ends up being our best player. Again. I mean at what point do we learn the lesson? Phil Kessel hasn't magically become a better hockey player than Sidney Crosby over the course of the last few months. Slumps happen. Sid will be fine.

 

[madinsomniac]

Sid not in top 50 scorers, Jake not in top 150. This is just a bizarre season.

We have seen this before though... under the MJ era when sid checked out mentally....

Its almost impossible to stay driven after B2B championships.... add that the league obviously has an axe to grind and a couple new saviors to annoint and

Yet #8 will still get thrown a couple minuses in the post game. I think Dumo has been terrific.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Sully trying to get Sid going, puts Kessel on the line.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

True but he can't be any worse than he is right now.

He really has.

 

[ColePens]

Mur with 2 rebounds that are not good this period. Luckily defense has been there. Some softies.
