BLAME WHERE IT SHOULD BE PLACED

By Mark Madden

Yeah, Marc-Andre Fleury let in a terrible goal.

But you won’t win much averaging two goals per game. The guys making $8.7m apiece have a goal and assist between them. Fleury’s numbers are better than Sid’s and Geno’s.

No idea why Crosby and Malkin have struggled to produce. They’re getting shots, though they’re passing up quite a few, too (especially Malkin). Maybe they need to work down low more.

It won’t be long before the citizens start jabbering, “You gotta get these guys wings.” Do you want scoring titles, or Stanley Cups? Furthermore, if those two ever get a grip on the power play, they’ll win every scoring title. The Pens’ top wings could be Long John Silver and Stephen Hawking, and it wouldn’t matter. Production on the PP stands between Sid, Geno and Art Ross.
