Description

They have nothing to lose at this point.
Coach idiot can't figure out his team can't score when it's top line is getting abused every game. They separate out Crosby and put him with two guys with pushback.
Giving him a chance to actually make a difference. Not only could he set them up, but he can actually learn to shoot the puck instead of passing it around for 3 hours.
Jake gets put with two of the bigger forwards on the team.
Malkin gets to play with Rusty again. They should have never been seperated.
The 4th line is there play physical and lean on people.

This team shouldn't be struggling. But our coach is an idiot. The only good thing to come out of this series is that he'll be gone. His stick checking BS brand of hockey isn't ever going to get this team to another Stanley cup. He got lucky for 2 years because the league was slow as hell and he could get away with that crap with much faster players. Guess what, almost everyone else has caught up. The game is old. You got to adapt.
It's a shame he has wasted the last 3 years of Crosby's and Malkin's careers.
We will never get them back.
I look forward to his firing. So we can move on with an actual hockey coach that demands guys finish their checks in the playoffs, stand guys up at the blue line instead of letting everyone just skate right in to shoot, and clear the front of the F net.
Coach dud can't seem to figure that part of hockey out.

this team is gonna lose game 6 they keep doing the same thing. It's already over. Last game was the best chance they were gonna have, they had last change, they could get the matchups they wanted.
They didn't get it done. It's time to change things up. McCann is no where to be found.....again. Gaudreau has been ok, but he needs to play more physical. They need more out of that 3rd line they aren't getting it, it's time for a change.

Another prime example of Pharrow the troll making a mockery of the Pens fanbase.

No legitimate person would actually propose doing these lines. Like to actually think an NHL coach would do this is just insane. I was actually logging on to make a parody ACGM called "If Pharrow Had His Way" and it was going to be similar to this but I was going to put Judd Caufield as the 2C for you. You are beyond parody at this point.

They dominated last game. Why would they change anything? They win that game last night 19 times out of 20.

.....Also, it`s hilarious you still can`t admit that Ceci and Matheson are the 2nd pairing.
