That's basically what I almost did, but I wanted to spread out more. I took Parise over Marchand and I have E. Staal as well. I was able to stack my defense with Burns, Giordano and Suter with room for guys like Connauton and Oleksiak.

I also have the AVS first line like most everyone else probably does.

Then let's both hope that MIN has real fun on their California journey!

I’m hoping for a high scoring game from both teams. I have Burns, Couture and Meier as well.

Just pick teams that are playing the Pens and reap the rewards

Parise, Suter, Burns, Giordano, Pastrnak, Bergeron, Couture... how did you fit them all in, do you know some LTIR-tricks? My opponents has Kane+Burns plus a few(!) Sharks-ELC's... so expect Duby with the shooutout.

Its indeed that i normally regard teams who play PIT as same as with one game less, but this weekend it was more or less an "easy opponent".

Boeser, Rantanen, Kinkaid, Gibson, Tkachuk, Meir, Chabot and Connauton made it easier.

Well, Sully first took over he allowed them to become a team that trades chances, but he also made sure to not stray from putting themselves too far out of position and being aware of their surroundings.

This is just a 100% pond hockey team.

That's the funny thing, because the roster is not capable of playing pond hockey. Sure we have elite stars, but the rest of the team is too slow to go up and down the ice. I think it's undeniable they need some personnel changes along with a strategy change.

On the bright side, I thought Sprong looked as "dynamic" as I've seen him this season. Not saying he was lighting things up or anything, but he finally looked like he was playing with confidence.

All playable, with Kinkaid i wasn't sure how many games Schneider will get and with Gibson my guess was he will just play two (with ANA currently having a winning problem either), where one is vs. MIN. But ok, i also calculated two wins for MM last week...

Kinkaid was a gamble.

We get updated HBSL rankings?

You guys desperately need a game against Philly.

Well, being as the Flyers went 0-4 vs. Pittsburgh last year, got annihilated in 3 playoff games versus them...I think a Flyers game is exactly what the Pens need.

We got a Matt Murray problem...

He Sucks....

Yeah, I'm sure the Golden Child in Las Vegas would have stopped every goal against Murray the last two games. I mean after all, NONE of them were good scoring chances. Not a single one.

Yeah their team D is pure trash a lot of nights so far.

On top of his Ive noticed a trend the past few years that if they dont get a big save or two early in a game, the game usually falls apart....now this could be true for many teams, but I don't watch pretty much every single game of any other team.

Also that dummy is citing incorrect stats

Perfectly good stats I quoted - you quoted different stats - just so you know. See, there is analytics at it said best.
