There's something almost unfair about Detroit's immense depth. They have guys like Hossa, Zetterberg, Cleary, Franzen and Holmstrom, all-proven 20-goal threats, on the wing. The Penguins have... Petr Sykora and? Who? Sidney Crosby had Tyler Kennedy and Pascal Dupuis on his wings today. They're fine third-line caliber player, but they shouldn't be on a line with one of the world's best players.
That statement in bold is pretty much a great way to sum up this disappointing season so far... When you think about it we have nobody else to put there... FUMT

That post just got me so fired up. It is so upsetting to sit down and think about what we actually have to work with and also has we execute with what we have.
We have Sid, Malkin, and Sykie. 3 players who have top line skills. Then we have Staal. Top two Line POTENITAL. But what we do is take these players, scatter them around game in and game out, and then fill in the voids with career third and forth line players. This is not how to run an offense that has so much skill with its core players.
I am looking forward to the return of Fedetanko.. he was just starting to come into his role as a go to the net player before he got hurt.
Sometimes I also think, what if Zigomanis was still around? He was such a faceoff ace, but another third line player... how frustrating would the line shuffling be then...
I dont know... just a lil rant while I'm all juiced up on Coffee this morning..
I wont even get into a certain Finnish badass right now...
