Quoth the Bugsy Watson… nevermower:
“”Devils Hurricanes Vegas and the Rangers coming up. That should tell the tale. It has…”
The Pens are an above average team with competent goaltending and an abysmal PP. Giving up one goal to the Knights and Rags combined is impressive.
My biggest takeaway is the lack of netfront presence on the man advantage. We need a Horquist type who will live in the blue paint and make keepers lives miserable.
Since nobody on the current roster fits that description at least, for the short term, put Zahorna, Acciari or even Carter in front of the net with instructions to create chances and block vision. They can still make the playoffs but the clock is ticking and the power play seems to be the key.“”
Yes, 100%^ this. I said this (about Carter) last week. Been saying it since Horny retired. We all have been saying it in one form or another… why the actual fuck the team & management dosen’t get this is beyond me. Rock the Hockey World. Trade LeFuckup (and Carter) for a couple of TIP-TOP MEN, top-shelf playas. Go get at least 1 big ass stud PP specialist and whomever else you can steal to revamp this PP. Also … a draft pick or two and a crate of Viagra wouldn’t hurt.
DO THIS THING!
Notch it up aboot 18 hours… “LIVE FROM PITTSBURGH”
Since I’m writing this on Turkey Day afternoon I’ll start by saying either … “GREAT WIN on Friday night in Buffalo”, or “Back to 5 in a Row but not in the good way.” Take your pick. Hoping it’s not the latter.
Back home in PGH tonight… Blow Leafs Blow. At least one would hope. Their ‘Nylander’ is 7th in total points so far this season ( I think WE got the wrong Nylander?) and Matthew Knies is in the top 10 in scorring for rookies skating on the 1st line with Matthews and Marner.
Bottom line is WE’re gonna need some ’em-effers’ to sack up and start tickling the twine on the man advantage. WE have the technology. WE can do this. SO DO IT!
