GDT: Game 79 | Pittsburgh Penguins vs Montreal Canadiens | 7PM | They'll Start Trying Soooooon

[Allie Kitsune]

I just don't get how Letang derps his way into a 50 pt. season...

But he might, heh.

 

[TimmyD]

Sidney Hagelin?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lol Niemi

 

[Ogrezilla]

I'd simply exchange out Guentzel for Zar (Guentzel does much better with Kessel this year.

Guentzel has been really good with Sid lately. He's been good everywhere the second half of the season.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Hags/Malkin. Get a few more..get that combo deadly again for the playoffs.

 

[LOGiK]

This is a fun one so far.

 

[Bnat66]

Anyone else here at the game?

 

[KIRK]

Kuhn is awful. Sully needs to accept that and take advantage of our depth at C AND wings and roll 4 good offensive lines.

We won't shut down other teams, might as well go all in and outscore them.

What the ****?

Niemi is going old school, Penguins style.

And . . .

Jake-Sid-Simon
Hags-Geno-ZAR
Rust-Brass-Phil
Sheary-Sheahan-Horny

Yep, that works.

Also, as I said, we do that when it's 4 lines. When the bench gets shortened, it's different. And, you can have Geno take a shift for Brass or Sid for Sheahan.

It CAN work.

This is the way to bring the type of offensive pressure, wave after wave, the Pens will need to avoid exposing this defense.

He is THAT talented. A beautiful athlete. He just has a single digit IQ.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Yes, Maatta, hit Gallagher with the puck. Get him like you got Murray and you’ll have made up for that.

This year? We have been drama queens since at least 2008.

Johnston broke the board, tbh.

Can't forget about Kuhnackle

I can and I will.

1. Sully isn't going to scratch Kuhn for Simon.

2. IF he would, then I like what you've come up with. Maybe flip Simon and ZAR.

3. Plus, you can have Sid center Sheary-Horny some shifts and Kessel slide up with Geno after the PK.

Key is to think of it as rolling four lines and not in terms of what's the third or fourth line.

1. Dare to dream... it was the only way I could make it work decently. I feel Kuhnhackl has to play with SSH then brassard goes to the wing and that means Jooris is needed so a winger goes out.

2. Idk, I’d like some more creativity on malkin’s line with the HGH magic fading.

3. You could open up Brassard-Malkin-Kessel at times.


The key is riding the hot lines if you go full best roster.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Guentzel has been really good with Sid lately. He's been good everywhere the second half of the season.

He rounded out his game very well this year. While having to move to 3C as well. His point total took a hit, but still solid numbers considering..

 

[Tom Hanks]

Anyone else here at the game?

Probably quite a few people

 

[Fatty McLardy]

I put ZAR with Brassard. Simon with Sid. Rust with Geno.

i like ZAR with Sid, they were pretty good as a duo before he got hurt.

Has ZAR played with Geno this year? Also Simon has gone colder than a Canadian winter so idk if Sully will use him

@pixiesfanyo mentioned HGR and ZAR-Brass-Phil. If I knew ZAR-Brass-Phil could work, then okay. BUT, if not, then flip them. I think you're good with Jake-Sid-Simon.

BTW, NONE of this matters. Rust is with Sid unless we're down in a series and Jake-Sid-Rust isn't doing squat. And, Simon isn't starting over Kuhn.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Niemi is hilariously bad.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Jake should be benched for not scoring against Niemi there

 

[SirBrad]

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

ZAR needs to see more ice time these last 4 games and on a scoring line, if we want to get some production out of him in the playoffs.


Can always move him down there after. But let him get back that momentum he had going before getting hurt.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Sid is killing it on faceoffs

Why does Sid like playing with Rust... it never works.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Incredible save, Murray!

 

[KIRK]

Where was Letang?

 

[Andy99]

i like ZAR with Sid, they were pretty good as a duo before he got hurt.

Can ZAR play RW? Well I should ask, does Sully etc see him as an NHL RW? Doesn’t seem like it...

 

[Tom Hanks]

How did that stay out?
