Harkins-White: Has there been a better 4th line pair since Glass-Adams? Reinventing professional hockey one shift at a time lol…add in Carter, and it’s a veritable smorgasbord of suck…enjoy it while it lasts folks
At least we got a fight or two out of Glass. This is a preview of the vaunted rebuild. Just imagine it now without Sid.
 
Jansen Harkins! Great news! Lol
I'm more mad at myself. Jansen is likely a great bloke that is limited for his abilities and this coach keeps playing him anyway. I mean 2 months ago, demoting him to Wbs might have been the best for his ability to fix his entire game. Dubas literally added Hinostroza and others to give options and Gruden did more of what they think they need out of Harkins.

I don't dislike anyone on this team, the way they are used and playing above players they shouldn't be playing above - that's 100% on the coach.

Other Gm's are looking at the Pens like - Why is Harkins and White still on the roster? Most wouldn't even go as long as Sullivan has with Harkins and even White getting 10 games with 0pts. White barely penalty kills. Again, Gruden is who Vellucci trusts on the PK more than those two and the usage shows.

Hard to get injured when you have no hands or feet to speak of.
I hate that I am going to say this joke but I just need to get it out there...


A concussion to Harkins at best might knock some things into place and make him a better player. You can't make rock bottom worse, so I bet they couldn't even tell if it affected his brain since it was likely bottom baseline for assessing his skills to begin with.
 
Are we absolutely sure that they are even practicing for real because nothing in their game indicates indicates the type of coordination you would expect from professional athletes belonging to the same team? ;)

Also, who the f*** is Philips and why is he falling upwards?
 
To be fair, Phillips has to play in the top 6, or not at all. Putting him on the 3rd or 4th line makes zero sense.

Poor Zhenia lol.

Phillips aside what is up with the DOC/Malkin thing? What so they had a handful of OK games back in like December so now it's a thing? I don't know if it's the usual ass player assessment or something else but man these guys are dolts. You can see the results a mile away and we're just dingbat fans. Imagine what the opposing teams are thinking.

Out of ideas lol…we dont have any top six wingers …here’s a thought: why not spread out our midgets on the top two lines and give Geno one of our best wingers too:
Rakell-Sid-Phillips
Puusty-Geno-Rust
