Penguins on the 4-minute powerplay, scored on the first, second should have been turned into a 5-on-3, but the refs allowed a big hit on Guentzel well away from the puck.

Pens bury it on the second anyway thanks to Sid.

Wow, the Penguins got hosed in OT. If Dahlin has control of that puck, then I’m Santa Claus.

The refs called asking where your elves and reindeer are?

Kessel sucks
Isn't that usually the sentiment among all fans of all teams when Kessel worn out his welcome?

Seriously though as @Darkstone42 stated they should put him with Crosby for a period of time. It seems that him and Malkin are like oil and vinegar right now.

Great game for Murray and Crosby tonight. If not for Murray it could have easily been 5-4 but with that said Price made some great saves.

Anyway Crosby tried too hard getting Guentzel a HT he failed for 1200 pts.

So put guentzel with Malkin? I could see that helping Malkin. Kessel is lost

Honestly I think keeping Guentzel with Crosby and putting Kessel with them two. The only issue there is with Rust out hopefully McCann or Hornqvist could fill that Role. I don’t want Simon anywhere near Malkin at this point.

I think Kessel is a huge liability on D and if you don't have an Ashton-Reece (kid looks great!) or a Horny on a line with him, you open yourself up to a ton of poor play in the D zone. Dude is such a liability. Any team that checks/plays the body, and the dude just disappears...

That’s why playing with Crosby and Guentzel is not a bad idea. Neither of them are liabilities whereas playing with Malkin who gets way too sloppy in his own end exposes him even more.

Crosby should be talked about for Selke this year, and Guentzel's been solid enough defensively to kill penalties. Moving Kessel away from Aston-Reese isn't going to hurt him.

I think Hornqvist has been playing much better lately, too, and he and Aston-Reese might complement each other well on Malkin's flanks. I think Geno is best when he's the puck carrier on his line. Kessel needs the puck too much to mesh with him. Sid doesn't need the puck on his stick all the time to do what he does. I think he'd work better with Phil.

Great game today in NYC as the Caps win in shootout over the Rangers. Looks like Lundquist starting days are over??

Gudbranson tipping a goal past Murray is definitely going to go over well with the fans.

No way that gets overturned, but it looked to me that puck was batted basically even with the top half of the crossbar.

The best line so far seems to be Malkin/Kessel/ZAR. Lets hope they open the flood gates.

The Errey'ism is full force:

If Kessel got it up 12 inches he would have scored.... :L
