It looked like Malkin was out of shape...basically played Malkinesque the first period then disappeared.
Forgot to do the thread this week
Sorry guys, been getting ready for a trip to Costa Rica, I won't be here for the next 2 weeks. Please accept my apologies, I feel really bad about this.
I only watched the first two periods, thought Malkin was ok, looked like he was trying to do a little too much at times leading to turnovers or poor positioning.
The problem is scoring...they weren't doing it with Letang, and it certainly doesn't help that he is out either. You can't win with only scoring 1 goal a game.
Seems like they need the Letang, Malkin, Crosby trio together more than ever. Without Sid or Malkin their record is terrible, and they can't score. Not sure what it is without Letang, but wouldn't be surprised if the results were the same, can't score.
It's not just a lack of scoring without Letang. They are hemorrhaging goals against since Letang left the ice last week. 15 goals against in the four games he's missed
Yep that too. More minutes for guys who aren't capable of playing them effectively.
