    Might have something to do with Gonchar as well although he hasn't had much of an impact in Ottawa as he did in Pittsburgh (please correct me if I'm wrong Big EV). With him manning the point on the PP in Pittsburgh I always felt comfortable with his distribution with the puck and for some reason with Letang I don't have that same comfort. Putting Malkin back on the point should help moving forward as I feel having him on the sideboards was a huge mistake.

    LOL fair enough!

    I should have noted that I own Crosby in a league, and while I'd like to see more production, I'm definitely not worried or disappointed by the PPG pace at this point.

While their pp wasn't great it was the best I've seen from them this season.
    Yep, not the best but an improvement. I've always liked the idea of having Malkin QBing the PP.

    Lol, Pitt's PP is ranked 13th in the league at 21.4%. That's not that bad.
