Ryan Wilson: New line combos, Pouliot to play soon, and goaltender decision New line combos, Pouliot to play soon, and goaltender decision

fist!

nahh Fehr is just showing his worth, after a whole training camp and what not. Really valuable..

Can we not see more of Crosby-Wilson?!!!

(last game, they had 2 great transition plays which lead to scoring chances when both were on the ice)

Why would they do that? Sheary-Sid-Horny are a force right now.

If MS is in the business of line juggling, I'd like to see Wilson have a longer look. No offense to Sheary, but he mis-handles so many passes and gets knocked off his feet too often

Why is Guentzal still sitting? What's the point I understand one game to see from the box but he was playing good hockey with Geno and they can easily put fehr as 13th man

You don't want to break up a line with a score zone venue adjusted 5v5 xGF% of 66?

You are aware that Sheary has 12 points in 18 games, 2nd under Crosby on CF%, and has been on the ice for 15 GF and 7 A... the only player I would replace Sheary with on the top line is Chris Kunitz, who produces similar numbers and has played, and does play well with Sid, but at this point Sheary-Sid-Horny should absolutely stay together. I just don't think Wilson has done anything to earn a shot with Sid, and Sheary hasn't done anything but prove why he should be on that line.

Honestly, I think Guentzal-Cullen-Wilson could be a solid 4th line too, but Fehr's amazing value after having a full training camp is keeping that from happening.

I have yet to look at the NHL standings this season, not even once. So I was a little surprised to read the Pens are 2 points back of league lead after a month of basically .500 hockey. If they gave a playoff effort every night (or most periods) they'd be far ahead in the standing IMO...of course that might be able to be said of some other teams too I imagine, though not totally sure.

Typical. Your eyes remember all the little things that go wrong but they don't remember all the little things that go right.

ah HB logic. Accuse someone of a certain disposition and not provide evidence.

Of course... for example, you sleep with sheep. No I don't have to prove it, you have to disprove it

Unrelated hockey note... Anyone eaten at the Gateway Grill in Monroeville? Vendor is buying part of my workplace lunch this week, and looks like they sprung for ribs. Wondering if they are good

Yes "basically .500 hockey"

More like basically .600 hockey

You provided the evidence by pointing out small issues of a key cog to the top line.

Why would a different instance have to do with the current instance?

Yes "basically .500 hockey"

... that's not basically .500 hockey... that's basically .600 hockey.

- Feds91Stammer

.600 is much closer to .500 than 1.00, so is .571...so I'll stick with my initial comment...they were basically playing .500 hockey....

Who in the F says "they're playing .600 hockey right now" or "they're playing close to .600 hockey now"?

Answer: no one

Thanks for being anal retentive though.
