It has been a tough stretch for the “Why is Dominik Simon on the top line?” crowd, especially after the (wrongly) criticized top line was one of the driving forces in a complete systematic dismantling of the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.
By now you probably already know my stance on the Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, Simon trio (I not only approve of it, I think it is their best option), and now that the line is really starting to produce results I am going to continue to beat this into the ground and take my position one step further — doing anything to split it up would be completely nonsensical and something that would be worthy of criticism.
