Moderators: Three Stars, dagny, pfim, netwolf
Coach Dan Bylsma said he intends to switch between five forwards and four plus Letang on the top unit of the power play, at least before the playoffs, which start next week.
"We will continue to see both of those [looks] the next three games and ... [perhaps] in the playoffs as well," Bylsma said.

Honestly, there are a lot of fans that are reasonable about it too. Geoff Detwiler (writer for Broad Street Hockey on SB Nation) has been the voice of reason over there for quite some time now. I'm seeing a lot of people actually agree with Crosbythat if LaViolette didn't want his guys to get hit, he shouldn't have put them out there.

5 forwards is fine, they just need to manage the puck better

From Edzo highlighting Jagr's blatant hook on Staal leading to Giroux's goal as a great play to Peeair actually referring to a player that cheap-shots the best player in the world with an unnecessary cross-check (who happens to be coming back from multiple concussions) as a great 'character' player, they've shown nothing but contempt for the Pen's organization. I can't come up with any other explanation. It's embarrassing for NBC, and the entire NHL.

It's obvious they both have an axe to grind with the organ-i-zation that sent each of them packing because they couldn't get the job done. Such astute hockey men.
