Pretty much anywhere in that area would work for me. I'm not afraid to drive to events.

Who in that area is looking to hire a soon to be Addictions Service Worker. Any takers, c'mon

Probably could use your services in Baltimore

John touched on something briefly that I think is important....Sid, Geno et all have to stop staying our for the whole 2 minute PP. It leaves them very vulnerable to counterattack at the end of a PP and I think that being out there a full 2 minutes makes them less effective. I know I'm a broken record on this topic, but that's really why I'd like to see them split onto 2 separate units instead of front loading a single unit. They are both unselfish enough that I think they would shorten their powerplay shifts and roll out a fresh second unit.

Pens officially demote Thiessen... Glad to see Johnson is healthy.

Based on his AHL performance, I was all set with him being the backup next season, but I'm not completely sold now.

The Amish on Rumspringa could use them too. Those people go off the deep end for that year that they are free to do whatever they want!

everyone see that we vote now for who gets on the nhl 13 cover? up between fleury and malkin for the pens. I picked malkin

They are also roaming again and freelancing too much. The structure on the PP has been horrible since Crosby returned. Even superstars need some structure.

put it back to how it was without crosby. sulli,malkin,kunitz, neal, and martin (til letang comes back). then on the 2nd PP unit use crosby, staal, cooke, kennedy and despres (til nisk comes back)

thats exactly it. there is no structure and it is mind boggling. i find it hard to believe someone as team oriented as sid cant be convinced to play within the confines of the system. ive given up on them wanting to split them, as they obviously arent inclined to do so. but at the same time, this whole "be creative" with the puck thing isnt working. they have the talent and skill. use it properly and take advantage of the opportunities it would create.

Per @StapeNewsday, Pens have put Sullivan back with Malkin and Neal. 87 back with 9 and 14. 11 back with 24 and 48.

Looks like Byslma might be getting in playoff mode with the three center approach tonight.

I like it... and nothing prevents them from loading up on a couple of lines situationally if the score dictates it, or the clock gives them a chance to.

I've given up on them getting split up as well. I'm disappointed with Bylsma....I mean, he can't be happy with what he see's on tape. Just like somebody else said, that top unit stays out the entire two minutes. They get exhausted and it really screws with the next several shifts. If the only reason he keeps that one unit together is in deference to players ego's, that's a problem.

dumb penalty cookie... can't wrap him up with that free hand.

Dammit Staalsy. He made Taveres look bad.

Fowards not getting it out of zone on the wall. D looks a bit overwhelmed and Isles look organized and acting with a purpose in our zone. Generally we are a step behind.

Back in pittsburgh. Im fully qualified nav ..... So wtf happened to the pens... No letang, losing to the islanders the other day. Looking like poop tonight... Guess no first place....

The forwards are chasing themselves out of coverage. Instead of dictating where the Islanders put the puck they are chasing them like dogs chasing rabbits.

Geez I just got home, I was fully expecting to see a lead.

wow, i cannot believe the last few games. i know there are some new defensemen but this team looks lost. I also cannot believe Coach B altered the Malkin line. Maybe he will put them back together in the second period. when this team played nashville, i was blown away, they could do no wrong. Against the islanders....

not impressed with TK or Tangradi this year at all. but over these last few games, the list could certainly be longer.

anyone worried that Sid could be concussed with a puck to the face?

it looks like it does when they have new line mates. too many forwards skating to the same open space.
