exactly we cant control one game, either we are losing and wait till the 3rd to make a come back or we have to play catch up.

as for fedotenko, WOW one game with 2 goals… nobody besides crosby and malkin can stay on a streak with points. and yes it does matter about the score sheet cause if there are no points next to anyones name then you dont win. Ya I want people out there that give 100% note I didnt put talbot or staals name into my rant bc to me they play 100% or more a game even though there is no points next to their name. but fedotenko and dupius have been jumping through all the lines and it doesnt seem like they have chemistry… thats what im saying.

yes injuries are hurting us especially on D, but im talking offense. and yes once ziggy and TK get back then they will help out. but i think we need to find someone to put up on that top line with crosby. it seems only malkin can play with him, and everyone else is just there to fill in.

I can pretty much agree with all of that. If you think of it how many “true” top 6 players do we really have? Maybe 4?..Sid, Geno, Pistol Pete, and Satan. Pistol Pete and Satan are too inconsistent…You could argue Staal is a top 2 liner but he plays center and we have those. Not sure what is going to happen in the near future (this season) but I am sure Shero knows we need a solid winger who can light the lamp on a somewhat consistent basis…hence Satan and Fedetanko having 1yr deals
