That was 2017, pretty sure. If you're talking about the Niskanen cheapshot.
Whoever Sullivan thinks more highly of will be put with Sid. Which is almost surely DOC.
Boudreau or Woodcraft.I'm onboard the "team needs a new coach" bandwagon at this point, so who out there would be both available and interesting as a replacement? I can't see JD Forrest as a viable replacement, and at this point. If I'm going with this fantasy land, they're cleaning house at the NHL level, at least, so who's out there?
I mean, I can think of Boudreau or Gallant being available, and maybe you go with one of them on an interim basis for the rest of the season, but I'd be curious as to who might be out there in the minor or junior leagues that might be interesting at this point. I'd rather not get another re-tread.
I will make one exception on the re-treads - I think I'd be happy to bring back Therrien just for the sheer entertainment factor. I mean, the team wouldn't necessarily get any better, but the post-game pressers would become must-see TV!
My ideal lineup as well. That L3 must get reunited.
All want the same....what we will get is :
What line combination or pairing hasn’t he tried that you would want to see?
Jay Woodcroft might be interesting. I don't know how "great" he actually is, but the one thing he was good at was the PP.I'm onboard the "team needs a new coach" bandwagon at this point, so who out there would be both available and interesting as a replacement?

Rust was moved for one period after game 20+…L2 fell off a cliff Game 10 or so….Rust was good on L2 for 30 min but i guess that’s it and then he’s moved back…nothing settles in for a few games, it’s more like 30 min lol…scheme change to play against Colorado, great and successful…two games later we’re back to playing an aggressive forecheck and pinching game…the players all seem confused how to play…make changes w a purpose, not just to throw shit against the wall bc you don’t know what to do lol
Yup. Then there's the radical new PP formations that we got...for one game...
Bourque is the only thing approaching a funny person on the broadcast, so I appreciate that. But in general I agree that the team has the on-air team it deserves, which is sad.
Clearly the answer is not “give players the you acquire the right setup to succeed” and is “no player ever improves”.
Specifically, what line combination hasn’t he tried?
That's probably best. I think with Malkin you at least have some opportunity to play your game. If you want to play with Sid, you need your skills and IQ to be up to par while completely turning over your hockey livelihood to the ebbs and flows of Sidney Crosby. Some guys are good with that, others not.
Poulin, who is the best option they have but who is currently hurt, and Pitlick, who has a $1.1 million cap hit limiting his opportunities.
