Sprong literally got scratched in WBS a few days ago. We're not seeing him again this season so people need to chill on that.

That’s got me worried. He doesn’t respond well to being tested/demoted. Coaches will keep him down there if he won’t keep working. Skilled or not.

I'm certain those comments he made about deserving to be in the NHL were not going to sit well with Sullivan and JR.

Fully healthy for me

ZAR Crosby Sprong
Hags Geno Horny
Kessel Brass Rust
Geuntzel Shea Sheary

Gotta hope they are just riding time on spronger....i just cannot see how he is any different than the first year we played sheary and rust in the playoffs. Bring him up last week and ride it hard.
Edit...extremely short leash on 43....34 goes in at the first sign of ineptitude.

Realistically, I don't think both Kuhnhackl and Rowney sit since they are both high on Sully's PK choices. And same with Sprong though I'm ready to give him another look myself.

Guentzel-Crosby-ZAR/Simon
Hags-Malkin-Hornqvist
Rust-Brassard-Kessel
Simon/ZAR-Sheahan-Rowney

That's my realistic hope line-up. Giving ZAR first look with Crosby but I'll switch it if it isn't working.

It's a legit penalty...but somehow they find 5 on us and 1 on ny...not what I'm seeing honestly.

Not saying it wasn’t legit. Bad penalty to take.

I know...just a comment on penalties in general. I felt they got away with one on their first goal and a few other high hits and interferences.

We never seem to get the late pps to keep games close. Every team we play gets them when they r losing in the third...not us.

Sid is not effective without a grinder on that line....so unless horny is going with them it won't work.

Seeing ZAR practice is really good news. We don't spend enough time in front of the net lately. The Pens need to simplify their game for the playoffs.

It isn’t working now. Sid is doing all the grinding right now and no one can finish.

Gibson had a horseshoe up his ass a bit tonight. So did Murray to a degree but damn we couldn't get an easy one tonight.

I'm not advocating putting Phil up with Sid all the time, but every time Crosby and Kessel have been together on a line in the post-Johnston era (only time we ever gave it an extended look was under Johnston) they've looked good. My one dislike about the way Sullivan coaches is his refusal to load up the lines in crunch time. The Two Headed Monster should see the ice at the end of every 1st and 2nd period, and our lines should be loaded if we're down at the end of the 3rd.

If Sully wants to give Letang a break, cut his PP time. It’s not like he’s the quarterback
