This is not a 9-4 team. This is more likely a 4-9 team getting incredible goaltending.
It's fun to win, but it sucks to know that winning gives Johnston, Tocchet, Kunitz and Scuderi another day on this team. We will not do anything of significance with those four in this organization. We also still need a #2/3 defenseman, badly. Letang's been garbage this season, Maatta as well. Cole is exactly what figured he was, a bottom pairing guy who looked good compared to the dumpster fire around him down the stretch last season. And well, Scudjoy is Scudjoy. Fleury isn't gonna be able to win it for us all season and in the playoffs.
I also cannot understand the usage of Sprong. The kid's shot is lethal, he's got the wheels to keep up, and he's not terrible outside of the offensive zone. Staple him to the 3rd line with Perron and Bonino and call it a day. That line's solved for the rest of the season. Keep Fehr in the top-6, move Bennett up to the top-6, scratch Kunitz;
Bennett/Hornqvist - Crosby - Bennett/Hornqvist
Fehr - Malkin - Kessel
Perron - Bonino - Sprong
Plotnikov - Cullen - Wilson
