Michel Therrien, Line Changer Guy

I love Therrien, but I wish the guy WOULD STOP PLAYING WITH THE LINES, PLEASE!

Every night out there's a change. And coming off of their 2 best defensive performances of the year, Therrien did it again. Can we let these guys develop some chemistry, maybe?

The 3rd line of Roberts, Talbot, and Armstrong has played well all year, and should be left alone.

And what was wrong with Sykora playing along side Sid?

No, the last couple games, we were lacking some scoring chances, but isn't that gonna happen when you're being more disciplined defensively? JHC, we win 2 low scoring games, the Flower is finally back in form, and we come out with wholesale changes against the Leafs?!?

I'm not the expert, but let's find something that works, and let it be for awhile...at least for more than 60 minutes.

Also, we lead the league again in Too Many Men penalties. I can't help but think that the constant changes may lead to some confusion and a few Too Many Mens. Maybe I'm wrong....just a hunch.

On the good foot....

I'm really liking this Adam Hall character. He's a big body, and he's been great on the PK along side Staal. He also did a great job aggravating Jagr on Tuesday. And he's winning some face-offs, something the Pens have needed recently. Matter of fact...it appears the entire team has shown improvement in this area.

Fleury...was a STUD Tuesday against the Rangers. When he's playing with confidence, his ability and talent in the pipes is top notch. Then he takes a step back last night.
