The Steelers looked great in preseason, then... So, maybe this is a good thing? :scared:
It’s a veteran team and they know these games don’t count.

That doesn’t mean they’ll play better in the games that count…just that they know.

It's a pre-season game. Does Carter really need to be out on every PP2? Give DOC or Big Z a look. We all know what Carter is at this stage.

Judging from the past 5 seasons, I would say that definitely looked like a Mike Sullivan coached team.

Dubas can change a lot of the players, but with Sullivan still the head coach it doesn’t seem to matter. They look old, slow, and soff trying to play Sullivan’s 2016’17 system. They need to trap it up, score off of turnovers.

Agree but I don’t think Sid and Geno want to play that boring type hockey, so it ain’t happening, even if it would probably be winning hockey compared to what they’re doing now

Seeing Geno try to hustle back in a preseason game to not give up an EN is at least something positive.
Hmm... :lol:

Malkin has always been a notorious slow starter.

Now that applies to his skating too.
