nothing wrong with the game one lines. They need to role with them again. If they made one change it should be JJ for Maatta, but lets see after game two.

The second and third lines Feasted on the Islanders. No need to mess with them. The 4th line for the limited time it had on the ice has to do better. They were like a 40% corsi in their 8 minutes.
They need to convert. To many scoring chances didn't go in.
They also have to have faith in Crosby and Jake to out play the 4th line of the Islanders. It will happen. That line is the Islanders best possession line. They had a lot of turn overs against that line, 6 and not one take away. They will clean that up and watch out the game will be one sided like it was last night past the 30 minute mark. Malkin's line ate up the NYI 1st line like it was breakfast. They had like a 70% corsi there. I'll take that match up every night if that's what they want to give me.

The line up was a +20 on the Corsi. You can't ask for better play than that. NYI got lucky in game one. No team is going to win many games giving up 20% corsi. They also won't get a game where the 1st line plays that bad again.
The penguins will start to take this series over. They will win game two. and then it's over because the Islanders can't match up to the top 3 lines well.

ROCK AND ROLE

thoughts on what. Go look at the corsi numbers. The penguins are still dominating possession, they are having scoring chances they aren't converting.
This isn't a team getting blown out in any game.
