PP has looked good in the 2 attempts tonight.

Attaboy Rusty!

RUST

"The Rustache"

Maybe it's just me, but I think Galch is close. Seems to be playing better from what I see. Maybe a little more confident in the last few games.

Much better. Control and movement are much improved. Rust now with 7 goals and 11 points in his 10th game. I’ll say it again: I think he’s a 25g25a type guy when in the top 6

I love seeing him get rewarded

He’s looking to shoot more. He’s still a bit out of sync

Nice save Murr

Isles have picked it up but the Pens bang one in. Gotta like that.

I really thought tanev should have been put with jake and sid when we got him....I would love to see him there when sid comes back. He has that kunitz feel for me..and honestly simon has no business near that line ever again. Tanev has earned it.

Murray’s made some big saves tonight.

Terrific first period. Murray with some nice saves and Rusty is on a roll.

Yeah, the complaint that he is too close to his teammates happened again. IIRC, it was on the PP but he quickly moved to the slot and got a shot off (from a pass from Malkin, I think, to whom he was too close and almost collided). I hope it works out but early returns look like a bad fit.

Maybe Kunitz without the hands.
I like Tanev, too. I think he can help out a lot of lines who need a puck-getter but not necessarily a finisher/sniper.

I’m loving him on the kill. They all look great TBH

Kahun, McCann and Tanev would be my 3rd line moving forward. When Bjug comes back, I'm moving him to wing or maybe try to trade him.

Doesnt need to finish with jake and sid...puck retrieving and speed with energy for days is enough to me. I'd like to see it regardless.

Yeah, he and they do look great on the PK.

As for Galch, couldn't he be the RW on Crosby's line? I can't remember if they have tried that already. Seems like a logical option.

Try Bjugstad with Sid?

Yea I want to see that line too.

Yeah, I'd put Bjug as Crosby's RW to try to pump up his value to trade him. He's just too injury-prone and not that great of a center for his salary this year and next.

Ha! Beat me to it. I would definitely do this. Natural position, he needs to get going, increase his trade value, etc.

Anyone but simon..but not sure bjug would fit with sid...something tells me no way. Edit....ur trying to sell bjug...as trade bait...if he crashes out with sid he will be worthless.

Isles are unreal to come out that hungry to start the 2nd. Props to them. They were just thirsty AF hahaha
