It seems in a way, at least in terms of ice time, they're taking some things away from Crystal Tank's plate.

And they're trying to, at least in a way...

Put more on Carlson, less on Letang, and it's worked out for them.

Regarding the lines, like the first three lines, last night was Crosby, Chinnikoff, Russ, so Raquel centering Mantha and Brezeau with no Malkin.

Kendall, Novak, and Hayes flip-flopping some things around just to be able to, you know, take away from the fact that Malkin was not playing and still no Blake Lizotte, of course, likely not back until the playoffs.

Let's go to Ron in the car.

Hi, Ron.

Hey, how are you guys doing today?

Hey, Ron.

Glad to hear you guys together.

No doubt, Ron.

Appreciate the call.

He has allowed Eric Carlson to play freely.

It has basically allowed him to dictate what he needs to do on the ice, not be put into the box that Mike Sullivan wanted him to be in.

And it might just be a communication thing because whatever switch that has been flipped for Eric Carlson right now, he's playing as one of the best defensemen in the entire NHL and probably the best that a Penguins defenseman has played since Paul Coffey.

Here is Andrew in Baldwin.

Hello, Andrew.

Hello.

Austin, or should I say City Limits?

What's going on?
