My boys and I were talking about Sid's transition to a goal scorer and how it's possibly a disadvantage for the Pens. When he was a playmaker he always was able to raise the play of his teamates. Now that he is more focused on scoring than setting up, his teamates don't appear as dangerous. I think this is good for teams that will face them in the Playoffs. I think if Sid continues the score first pass second mentality, he won't have much stanley cups when his career is over.
