Beau should be on the 1st line and you can have MDC in for Leo on the 2nd line if you do not want to break up the 3rd line. I thought MDC can be trusted on D so that should make Barry happy? Very hard to win a Cup with such an offensively challenged team. Lots of pressure on the goalies and D.

You just broke up the most productive line.

Sorokin has been flat out fantadtic in this game. Many of those 32 shots were high quality and this game could easily be 5 or 6-1.

Agreed. The Isles don't deserve to be in a close game the way they're skating. Sorokin has been terrific.

They just need one good period here but the way this game has gone idk.......could happen though
- Upstate_isles

They can come out and win this period and steal this game, I agree. They just need to start (frank)ing skating!

It's about the overall team not one line. Do not worry Barry is not making any changes.

That’s HB hyperbole. I would love Lee on his wing but he’s hurt and Leo is who the coach has there now. For the last 2 months the same BS Just gets old. Quit (frank)ing whining about it. When they win its silent and if they are losing or Lose that’s all you (frank)ing hear on here. It (frank)ing ridiculous.
The Pens are skating circles are the Uslanders and all we can come up with is Leo on Barzals line

HB hyperbole
Even when they win, most except for maybe two people still acknowledge a change should be made (including Anson Carter. What's (frank)ing ridiculous is your contrarian desire to respond to it. The suggestion to juggle the lines is more about the whole team than just Leo. They need a kick in the pants.

Correct I agree. And it certainly isn’t about 1 player on 1 line.
This team isn’t skating and the Pens are busting their asses.

The Isles have scored more goals threw 4 games than Pittsburgh if you can believe that.

Eberle flips it to their d when he had guys breaking, the decisions are bad tonight

I will add they are playing like a Tuesday in December

So the lines that dominated Pittsburg last game don’t work today? They need to skate and play with some desperation. It’s not about line combos it’s about execution and effort.

At this stage I'd just like them to flip two of our centers

Christ shoot it on the net or throw it on net and hope for a bounce

This is a new game. If it's not working you have to change it up. Does not matter what happened last game or what happened during last years playoffs. It's a best of 3 now.

I would like them to get their heads out of their asses and not TO the puck over. Nice one there Barzy.

They aren't even finishing their checks

It's about execution and matchups.....the Pens 4th line are defensively suffocating the top line. That line is far too easy to defend.

They are faster than us. They are out hustling us. They are outthinking us. They are out everything-ing us.

We look lost.

Eberle!

Nice pass by .............. Komarov!

Ebs!

Ebs from Leo

Let’s change the lines and panic.

Did Sullivan change the lines last game?

Wow, we're tied

Hopefully they aren't out-goaltending us.

It was a line change Pags made the hit to start the play.
