PENS vs Montreal Canadiens Round 1 (Best Of Five)

[Dipsy Doodle]

I think the bigger thing is WAR is and has been proven to be a horrible stat for hockey.

I'm not especially interested in the stat, honestly.

It's how the lines match up.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Jake-Sid-Hornqvist
Zucker-Geno-Rust

That's a goddamn unbelievable top-6. The 2nd line may be better than the 1st, and the Sid/Jake combo is crazy.

This assumes, of course, Sid and Horny can deal with each other for the length of this exhibition tourney masquerading as the NHL playoffs. They've had months away from each other, maybe it'll work? It won't.

 

[K Fleur]

One of Guentzel's best qualities is that he is f***ing incredible playing with both Crosby and Malkin.

 

[Gurglesons]

I'm not especially interested in the stat, honestly.

It's how the lines match up.

I’ll take Crosby over any C in the league in a playoff series.

Also, I think using regular season stats from what will be a season 4 months removed is not really relevant.

I’d also argue having a month of practice is way more important to chemistry than regular season games.
