Despite a team low offensive zone starting percentage he has a FF% of 58.7% on the year which is very good. It also includes him playing a game with Adams and Sill who had a FF% of 11.11% and 28.57% respectively against the Islanders. Goc somehow managed a 44.44%.

Goc is fine. Don't bury him with scrubs and he'll do more.

So where does Spaling fit in this considering he has been burried with the scrubs for the first three games? (FF% wise)

He's doing good. high 50's. But like the blog highlights, he is very protected with his OZ starts (it was 100% vs Islanders)

He isn't a scrub like Adams and Sill, he will always do better than them.

That's pretty impressive actually. I didn't think his numbers were that strong. Who else can we insert on that 4th line to help him?

I'd go with Spaling and Downie, ideal 4th line for me if we can make a trade to add to the top 6 or third line.

Lack of scoring 5 vs 5 is starting to make me nervous. Am I correct we have 0 goals from our dmen?

Sorry, but his speed and better scoring threat would give Goc a better opting. We can call this a bro-fling if you wish. Don't want to come between you and your bro.

As much as I want to see Megna back up I don't want him sitting in the box like ebbett. I would rather him be at wbs on first or second line getting mins and improving. He had a sweet tying goal to put the game into OT the other day. I think if there are injuries he would be the first one called up.

Dominance in shots and puck control will lead to even strength scoring. That shouldn't be too much of a worry right now.

Yeah, I'm not worried yet. The Pens are getting good chances. They'll start to go in. So many changes and a relatively light schedule can't be good for developing chemistry.
