  1. Hey Dan – don't sweat the one 'thumb down'. If they are watching, they really like what you are saying. I think it must be that they are giving the Penguins the thumb down. 😉

  2. I liked the call ups, my concern they will be sent back once a few bodies return. They looked far better than whats there. As for Graves, sitting him had to happen but I believe he'll be the escape goat here, make a statement and bench Karlsson, Grzelck or Letang, these three are the leaders and their play has been awful all season as well. Granted Letang is out now, but did they miss him, the answer is no. On the offensive side of things, watching the offense go through Petersson has me scratching my head, in his tenure with the team, besides that one game very early on, this guy is not a threat. He is the Muffin Man, his shots are muffins, and unless intended shots to be deflected does not have a boomer. But while the game even with the win had me grinding my teeth, I did fist pump on the Crosby goal, and I was extremely impressed with the O'Connor line, finally putting three guys together who are at the same level, play north south hockey, playing against other team's same calibre, and they are winning their battles and gaining confidence.
    With this victory, the coaches and the delusional can think the train is back on the tracks, but the mistakes made in this game with Kucherov, Pointe and Guentzel will lead to another blow out. I hate being a fan of this team and being so negative, but the last 3-4 years, watching every game and seeing a breakdown in the team, watching them lose games and playoff spots due to bad habits, poor coaching, and crippling decisions made by GMs'………..to get to the 24', 25' season and see it all come to a head……..has me wondering how such a great and proud franchise could let this happen. Whats happening on the ice is the bi-product of the Sullivan system, which is a bi-product of the GM (Dubas, Hextall, Rutherford)……..but its easier to bench Graves and say its his fault. Bring on the Lightning.
