Was that not the "back"?You forgot Jarry looking great lol.

This is year 2 of Bryan Rust being an actual star player. We thought last season was semi-fluky.
This game is all on Mike Sullivan. His line changes really sparked the team. You saw how it paid off on the score sheet. Crosby goal assisted by KK. ZMR combined for two more. Gotta give the pilot helmet to Sully.
you may have turned kirk but you'll never turn me!Yet.
@Gurglesons, as we discussed, this is the first time I've seen this type of chemistry with Malkin and Zucker. It wasn't perfect, but it went next level on that shift before the Zucker goal when Malkin caught Zucker coming to the net and fed him that one timer he shot.
Still way too early to know if its an aberration more than a sign of things to come, but there's a glimmer of hope there. Let's see how they build on it.
EDIT: It also helped having Rust there. Rust always has had great chemistry with Geno, and he's seemed to mesh well with Zucker, so that probably smoothed over some things too.
I do want to say that our PP looks better (kinda)
But our PK is still a disasterclass.
@EightyOne imma bitch anyway, kay? =)
This is the first game where I felt like they were a team from start to finish. L1 started well and then no one wanted to play defense. L2 struggled early but there was an immediate shift in the second period. Zucker started playing his game. I'm stunned. I thought he was just going to go quietly into the night. I think Rust going on that line changed it. Playing with Malkin isn't hard you just have to have confidence in yourself and get open. Zucker has the skills to play there and he and Rust are fast. I saw them talking so hopefully Rust was helping.
Jarry played like last season.
Our fourth line needs help. I like the D but Letang's minutes have to be cut.
This was a good game and we can build on this.

A complete effort, front to back, with support and some semblance of structure?
I see I am not allowed to watch in real time for the time being
Colby channeling Don Cherry right now...yeesh
