I posted a topic in the Pens forum awhile back called an army of two because in the early going the only two consistent players have been Crosby and Malkin. Sykora is stepping up but the Pens need to get some other scoring. Staal and Rechi stinking up the ice early on has really limited the scoring options. Only difference is at least Staal can play D(Rechi has been getting scratched latley,finally).
We need Whitney to take the next step and become a top D-man in the league as he has the size and awareness to be a good one. As for the goalie im just hoping Fleury can be that top guy. He got all the tools but seems to have mental lapses and lets in a soft one or two. I do think guys will step up because for a lot of Pens they cant play any worse.
