Who would have thought that Jake was gonna be the setup man and Kuch the trigger lol.

 

[Maelmoor]

Glad to see that he is doing so well! As much as I love Stammer and everything he has done for us, Guentzel is as we hoped and what Pens fans said, a big upgrade in the 5vs5 game!

Is he good enough or is easy to play with Kuchergod and Point?
I remember Sustr playing with Hedman (in his prime) was one thing, another with a mediocre partner. Today if you have those smart players at your side Svitov or Volkov could be stars that we thought.

 

[StammerHammer]

As advertised.

How you guys feeling about Jake?

I’m loving the new look top six and Sergachev deal with Moser and Geekie.

So... is Guentzel-Paul a real thing?

Because that could be huge. We know 38-21-86 works.

I always wanted to see us try something besides stacking the top line, seems like it might be worth it here.

Our second line has been great this year too, I think it's lines 3 and 4 that need help.

So the question is, does Paul go back to centering the third line when Point returns?

Unlike OJ, the glove fits.

 

[These Are The Days]

Paul with Guentzel
Point with Kucherov
Cirelli with Hagel

Holy shit spreading to 3 lines may be crazy enough to work

 

[The Macho King]

Wingers have to be good enough to hang.

Need three middle-6 wingers by trade deadline, nothing crazy!

Scotty Bowman was all about that way back when. Pairs rather than trios.
