[QUOTE="Original Mountaineer1, post: 129264792, member: 1901123"] Playing with 5 defensemen no doubt led to the third period collapses the last 14 days or so. But my God even with the defensive issues the lack of intensity from 6-7-8 of their forwards was disgusting to watch. I never saw a Penguin team where Sid didn't make his line mates better. Sure Hornquist had a pretty good year but his lack of movement and his straight line skating made him an easy mark. Perron is just a mess lately. Same for Kunitz and that issue was made worse simply because he doesn't get close enough to the cage most night to grab a dirty goal any longer. With his lack of speed and lack of desire to do the dirty work, he adds nothing to the team. Any idea why Adams was sitting? At least the dude works hard and hits. It's likely his last year. I would have liked to see him get a few a few more shifts. Last night he dressed and never saw the ice. As he was the 13th forward. Friday he had one shift in the PK. I doubt we see him dressed again as Lapierre has taken his role on the PK. Last night and against Ottawa the Pens didn't have 20 hits. Last night Sid had one of the biggest. That's telling isn't it? Johnston is dead man walking unless they upset the Rangers. [/QUOTE]
