    its a little early to say he is a sniper - he has played games before with the pens and didn't do much - but it would be nice if he can get a little bit of chemistry going with sid. I think the most important thing is he isn't overthinking anything and when he shoots he actually hits the net - unlike alot of other people that sid has played with. Chances are when sid finds you open in the offensive zone you had better one time it or get rid of it quick.

    yeah, that's the other problem they have - most of the team is lefties - letang is the only right handed defenseman and the rare times that he actually shoots he always misses high or wide. unlike gonchar who always get his shots through even when he has to settle for a wrist shot (which is suprisingly effective for him).

    i shake my head when i see teams like the anaheim, edmonton, and dallas 10, 11, 12 in the league and the penguins at the bottom with all the talent they have. i noticed when teams have a powerplay against the penguins - for the most part they just have their defenseman blast it at the net and keep it relatively simple, taking whatever the team gives them. The penguins always seem to be forcing passes and trying low percentage plays.

    I actually agree - if you put gonchar letang kunitz guerin and staal out there i bet they would average closer to 20%

    all of the announcers keep saying that they think having malkin & crosby out there at the same time is part of what is causing the problems because their natural position on the pp is the same place. I agree to some extent - but i also think they are trying to be too fancy and get empty net tip-ins like they used to do back in the 90's when they were loaded. It annoys me that gonchar can just wrist it on net and pick his spots - but none of the other defenseman are even willing to shoot.

    side note, Ryan Malone is killing it down in Tampa...now I'm wishing we coulda fit him in somehow. :(

    agreed - but the pens can't afford him - i think pretty much everyone i have seen is happy for him even though we wish we still had him

    another question - what is everyone's opinion of the penguins pp? i think they are currently 29th in the league. i have a lot of opinions about it - i just wish they would actually try something different cause it isn't working.

    price let in another crappy goal off the glove tonight - its the same as before - a high shot that wasnt even on net, but he decided to try to glove it and it ended up going off the glove and in the net...

    i always hear the announcers saying his glove is suspect - and now im starting to believe them
