@kelsey_surmacz4 Truthfully I’d rather have Chinaknov on the power point than Malkin, let’s start there and/or get Girard on the pp 1 or pp 2 in place of Letang, just for some offensive push.
The Pens have scored a fair number of five-on-three power play goals recently.
However, they have not looked very threatening at five-on-four since the big guys came back.
Really think they need to consider switching things up. Too many forced plays and not enough movement.
@downwiththen@PenguinsJesus Forgot to add this but counting tonight he only has 2 SOG total in the last 6, maybe that’s helping his defense. Also Girard is everywhere again tonight.
@PENGSNOW1@PenguinsJesus More than two games. He’s been playing solid defence and tonight he’s been great. He’s made 3 or 4 notable plays tonight alone.
@JoshYohe_PGH Chinaknov super smooth. How about Girard that guy is looking phenomenal, he’s actually making Letang look better. Rakell is making it happen and Skinner is doing really good too.
@Penguins667187@PensInsideScoop If he’s still battling an injury and is 39yrs old, then definitely don’t sign him next year, the penguins don’t need drama queens.
Btw I bet you sleep with a 71 Malkin shirt.
@PENGSNOW1@PensInsideScoop He's not "standing around", he's battling an injury at 39 years old. Where do you people come up with this shit? He has 6 points in his last 5 games. Pretty impressive to just "stand around" and get points. Imagine what he'd have if he had someone on his line that can shoot.
#LetsGoPens lines and D-pairs here in Tampa:
Chinakhov-Crosby-Rust
Novak-Kindel-Malkin
Mantha-Rakell-Brazeau
Soderblom-Dewar-Acciari
Wotherspoon-Karlsson
Girard-Letang
Shea-Clifton
The Kelce brothers' recent comments about baseball players' conditioning miss the mark. The 162-game grind is far more challenging, both mentally and physically, than an NFL season.
@Penguins667187@PensInsideScoop Truthfully Malkin has been doing a bunch of standing around while Chinaknov has been doing all the work, whereas with Crosby he’s excelled even more. Since the game in Colorado Malkin has looked terrible.
@PensInsideScoop@kelsey_surmacz4 Muse continues to switch it up, I’m wondering if they’re trying to jumpstart Novak for the most part, maybe Malkin too, post the Colorado game he hasn’t looked good but he did have 5 SOG vs Detroit.
