Geno just a monster

 

[vodeni]

that looked like PP

 

[akapidots]

Evgeni Malkin is pretty good at playing hockey

 

[K Fleur]

Malkin just dancing around these bitches.

 

[PaulD]

They are old, they needed at least a year.

better with less rest...... cease up with 4 days off

 

[SEALBound]

The difference here - the Red Wings, when cycling well, get the shot on net. We do not.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

This 2nd line is fire.

It makes this so much more tolerable at times. Indica for the pain.

Still waiting on Nieto to do anything of substance

Loved him game 1. He has been totally invisible since.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I'll admit, I did not have monster Geno to start the season on my bingo card.

 

[JTG]

This 2nd line is fire.

I'm not sure how much longer we call them the 2nd line because opponents are going to have to do something with Malkin if he keeps this up.

 

[Pancakes]

God do I hate this top line so very much right now

 

[vodeni]

What on earth is wrong with Pettersson?? He just refuses to give EK the puck when EK is open. He rather just dump it out, dump it in or play it directly to a forward in a bad position. It’s not even his job to play the puck to forwards unless he has to. EK will 9 times out of 10 find a better play than Pettersson does so if EK is open you just give him the damn puck. That needs to be Pettersson’s #1 mission whenever he gets the puck - check if EK is open, option #2 - do something else. If Pettersson can’t cope with that they need to be separated. Right now it’s just a waste of time offensively to have them out there together.

I think thats by design, Rierdan is trying to show EK how the defensive pair needs to play safe

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Malkin being the second highest Russian born goal scorer, I think he lived up to the hype.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Guentzel has produced well to start the year, but I think how he looks with the eye test does support the arguments made over the summer about how little he offers when he's not producing.

He's been extremely invisible today.

 

[K Fleur]

Guentzel just out there chilling in his own zone.

 

[PaulD]

I honestly don't know if I recall a single thing the Crosby line has done today. I feel like Malkin's line has like 75% of the shots they have.

the Crosy line is one third dead .....Rust creates nothing ......he is baggage

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

these unforced turnovers are f***ing embarassing

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I don't think this turtle L3 and L4 is going to work for us the way Sullivan thinks it works.

L3 and L4 just pack in like a 5 man PK Defense... yikes...

 

[The Grim Reaper]

the Crosy line is one third dead .....Rust creates nothing ......he is baggage

You're watching different games than me then. Rust has not been the problem at all.

 

[DearDiary]

What is one aspect of hockey that Graves is good at?

 

[JTG]

the Crosy line is one third dead .....Rust creates nothing ......he is baggage

He has been creating every single game so far.

 

[Pancakes]

Guentzel has produced well to start the year, but I think how he looks with the eye test does support the arguments made over the summer about how little he offers when he's not producing.

He's been extremely invisible today.

And Sid is not moving his feet at all. And when he does get the puck he's just making hope plays.

 

[WickedWrister]

Graves-Letang as a pairing still need some work. Both seem to have a tendency to make ill-advised blind passes at the worst moments.

 

[Trade]

Loved him game 1. He has been totally invisible since.

Ditto for Acciari. Also liked both in preseason.
