A PPG goal and a puck that was deflected by Geno and he had no shot on....he's awful...
I think we've seen something similar, but less pronounced, with Geno the last week and a half. Not floating, but off his rhythm, so he isn't going to go out of his way to kill himself.
As a side note, I was told a while ago that one of Sid's issues playing with Horny is the guy goes to the net and effectively screams 'get me the puck, I'm open'. Drove Sid nuts, and one side effect was it meant Sid had to do a ton of battling in the dirty areas with less support. I think we saw a similar things with HGH. When the line started, Horny was in the dirty areas battling to get Geno the puck. Over time, it became Geno battling in the dirty areas to get Horny the puck. When the rhythm was there, he'd do it, but this also was the origin of HGH starting to be 'off'. When it got off more and more, I think he took a step back, and it just threw the whole line's rhythm off even more. I think you've seen something similar with Sid with several linemates over the course of the year. And, yes, long story short, maybe that's where you now are at with Phil.
It’s Sheary and Horny as a pair ...they work with Sid too...they can work with most centers (although I hate Sheary with Geno)...they’d work with Brass
IF you keep Sheary-Sheahan-Horny together, it means at least one of Brass, Phil, Rust on L4.
It could work IF Sully were willing to scratch Kuhn. I don't see that.

He was a rebel with Tampa, didn't he get sent down and refused to go and ended up being a big hit in Tampa.
I can see that being the case. Sid and Horny get so intense during the games, and we've seen them argue on the bench. Sid is probably better off with calmer guys like Guentzel who just quietly play. Put too many type A guys on a line and you can get some hilarious arguments on the bench.
You know, I still think the smartest play is Sheary-Sid-Horny, HGR, and Jake-Brass-Phil. I also would love the 4 line model without Kuhn that has been discussed.
BUT, here's what I think happens. Winger pairs stay the same. When Brass returns, one of him or Sheahan is on L3, and the other is on L4.
In some ways similar to Letang, I think HMK will be the life or death of this team, depending upon which Phil you get.

That's like polar opposite to what he usually does in the past. Pens use to block a ton of shots and keep shot totals down and he had those kind of SV%.

Yeah he wasn’t happy being sent down but went eventually and came back and played well

I wouldn't mind Jooris in. He's actually decent.
I'd run two 3rd lines.
Jooris-Brassard-Rust
Sheary-Sheahan-Hornqvist
He was Tampa’s Sprong..only TB could afford to trade him away because of all the young skilled forwards they drafted....

the line juggling never stopped last year, I doubt it stops this year unless things really click. I doubt the lines ever survive two consecutive series.
You know, watching HMK play defense, it's dawned on me that Geno-Hags are a tremendous PK tandem.

What a terrible image.
Get Kuhn to defend Letang at practice. Bad things might happen to his shins
Just aim Maatta at him and let nature take its course.
