Famous last words. There's a lot of evidence to the contrary the last few years.

I think Carter's a good acquisition for his size, speed, and shot, but putting him at center when McCann was clicking there is baffling.

Huh. It never works for me on Chrome or mobile.
But I'm glad it works for some people.

Yeah I mean I complain about the implications re: Blueger but considering how McCann was trending it makes it all the more bizarre. Oh well. They'll need an extra center when Malkin inevitably shits the bed so...

TBH. That line has been really good despite what some have said.
I get your point, but I think McCann losing center to a player like Carter who does everything McCann sucks at C well is pretty okay.

I feel like we're a little overdue for Sid to catch an obviously contagious illness like scabies or terminal pink-eye, so...

Probably just means McCann is earmarked for Malkin's LW when he returns, so Sullivan is preparing both Carter and McCann for where they're going to play come playoff time.
But if that is the case then what is his plan for Zucker? If the plan is for Zucker to play 3rd line LW, then why is he currently playing 2nd line RW?

Because he's likely sticking with Carter, so he's keeping him on that line to hopefully develop some chemistry. Plus, maybe Sullivan feels he's better able to play his off wing than McCann, thus why McCann is at LW and he's at RW for that line.

Sully thinking outside the box:
Guentzel - Crosby - ERod
Malkin - Carter - Zucker
ZAR - McCann - Rust
Tanev - Blueger - Kapanen

Now, work with me here, what if we actually put Zucker at center, Malkin at RW, and Carter at LW? CZM is the way of the future.

Simply go 2-1 out of these 3 games. That's all I want.

Well I mean... you know... all NHL coaches are Dan Bylsma. So if you can fever dream it... it might just become a reality!

Here comes Skinner
Miles Wood has assumed the role of Player Who Always Scores Against the Pens. They must contain him!

Huh. It never works for me on Chrome or mobile.
It also makes it go faster and harder to keep up, too.

Take it one step even further. Kapanen has one bad period of hockey, so they run with Jankowski or Lafferty in his spot and Kapanen a healthy scratch!

Who is more dangerous versus the Pens: Miles Wood or Tage Thompson?

You know how in video games, sometimes enemies have weaknesses to dumb items? Well, my Jack Adams award winning coaching system is like that... but for HOCKET!

Outside of BART and GCR I don't feel confident predicting much of what Sullivan will do at forward.
