I agree…but I think you can swap talbot and Staal. I actually like Talbot better rthan Staal with Crosby. Talbot is explosive and pretty fast, somewhat similar to Crosby, where Staal is somewhat the opposite, he uses his reach and is a little more smooth. I thought they liked having 3 skilled centers too…but you know how Therrien is with switching lines. When Hossa comes back I would say maybe Talbot over Dupuis??? Talbot is a little more well rounded, but Dupuis is pretty damn good too. It will be interesting either way. For Goalie…we have a good problem. Fleury seems to have his game together, Conklin seems like he cooled down slightly. But you can’t write off Conklin considering he was due to have a game that wasn’t amazing. I am sure he will be fine. I say just play whoever is hot and then once one seems to be slipping I am sure the other will be good enough to step in. Come playoffs though it will be interesting, I would think they would commit to one guy…but if whoever they pick is playing like turds then I would switch them.

Yeah Sid looked good. You know he was going to play more than 10 minutes. We had a good game in net also. Both Goalies made some stunning saves. And each team hit the posts a few times. As far as who plays with sid, I think it should be Talbot for the time being (2 goals in 2 games). But there were a few times when Dupois was playing with Sid and they had some good passing going on. Lets just hope people stay healthy. I also really like Conor James. I think next year the kid might be up in the NHL.
