When Malkin is around, Neal is able to slip into those soft spots around the slot and get chances or have more room on the rush to rip shots. I saw HCDB tossed him out there with Crosby ES a couple times, probably hoping to get him jump started. Not going to see much of that because that top line has been too good to break up.
No reason to be concerned with Eaton. He's doing exactly what he always has. Maybe a bit slower, but then he is a solid 3rd pairing D with whom you know what you are going to get night in, night out. Not as good as some of the Pens younger D who sit, but then not as erratic either.

Yet in the 5 games we played without Geno the team has a 1.00 goals against average.

Ok? My comment wasn't to disparage Neal really. With Malkin he's a 40 goal sniper. Without Malkin he's a 20 goal guy who still has a decent to good all around game.

That was Letestu. Jeffrey tore his ACL earlier in the year prior to the Neal trade.
I think Jeffrey has actually done a pretty solid job filling in for Malkin. There seems to be a fair amount of criticism towards him simply because he isn't Malkin, but he's played a good two-way game.
