The forwards played with better structure and support and the PP did a 180 without him. Not sure that question would've gone over so well.

I'm shocked at how good the PP looked.
I certainly would have had Matheson on there over KK. I mean they still might have been good with Matheson but their faith in KK was rewarded.
I wasn't. That 15 seconds at the end of the first, Geno was moving all over the place. When he's moving his feet, like tonight and like 7-10 days ago, that PP is a totally different animal.

Yeah. Kap is a great X factor on a line away from 87/71. If this team could make a legit push in the playoffs, that's worth the 1st+ we paid. He's got the tools to be dangerous offensively but like many of us said, may not have the IQ to work with 87/71 night in night out.
I'd just rotate guys with Sid when he's back and pray something sweet falls into our lap by the deadline.

Maybe but with wingers like Jake and Rust he is a perfect center. Its hard to judge this year, but now matter if he is wing or center, he will need more help as the years go.

I think it's more due to the fact that Sullivan’s more stuffy than a constipated anus than making Crosby happy.
We really need another regulation win Thursday...given how well L2 played tonight, if Sid is back, I’d like to see...

It was weird. The shots looked like the Flyers were the better team, but when you actually watch that wasn't the case. Jarry was awesome, but I also thought the team generally did a good job in front of him.
Also good to see the top line do well, but equally impressive to see some offensive punch from the new "2nd" line. Kapanen played like the guy I was hoping for when JR pulled the trigger on the trade.
Ceci should think about making a position change to the wing. The guy seriously looks at his best when he's in the offensive zone and driving to the net.

That's the truth. And it's why GMR will be done the second Crosby returns. BUT, @reino is correct in saying 'hey why not see if Sid can do more with the left overs than Geno given how GMR played, because maybe the team overall would be better that way than the opposite'. And yes, I know this is a hypothetical thought exercise . . .

Anyone surprised that Geno wouldn't play better centering both Jake and Rusty hasn't been paying attention. That goes for you also Sully. PLEASE TRY and pay attention.

So true.
I just recall sometimes you'd be playing against a 3rd/4th line and you've got your bottom pairing out there and everything's humming along and then one of the guys on the 3rd/4th line starts firing up and you're like "oh, sh1t."
I'd love if KK could give that to other teams.
(as my friend @Gurglesons would put it, this is what they'd do if they were the Pittsburgh Penguins)

A win thursday would be huge. We got to string a few together here especially against teams directly in our way in trying to make the post season.

Matheson being able to handle the puck and his speed is like having another Letang out there. People may not compute that, but it's the same without him having all the accolades and two top stars in front of him all those years.
I'd have both out there. Can certainly bring about reason to have two 1a PP's with who they have.

I agree, Guentzel and Rust are better with Malkin than they ever were with Crosby. The entire team would benefit from it
Then you still have a really good RW in Kapanen to play with Sid
