GDT: ぴっつぶるぐ vs こぉうむぶす! Zatkoff set to go 0-3 against Columbus

[DrDangles]

I don't see why Malkin even takes draws while having Juice on his wing. Why not just have Jussi take them?

 

[Common Sense]

Woah woah, all the M.D.s on here told me Glass had a torn MCL, what's he doing in the lineup?

Should've listened to the D.O.s

Jussi has taken 14 faceoffs all season. I don't get it either. We even keep putting Vitale in for Megna to take draws for Geno.

 

[KIRK]

Jussi with some board work. Turn over at our own blue line.

Not acceptable. Wasn't even under immediate duress.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Seeing Gladams on the 3rd line makes me sad

 

[JTG]

The jersey tuck rule is ridiculous

 

[KIRK]

Zatkoff makes Fleury look like the second coming of Brodeur handling the puck.

 

[NutCracker]

I don't get how Zatkoff can have a NHL job, even the most simple play he makes looks shaky as hell

not by design

He's only up because of injuries. I figure that he'll go the same way as Thiessen did when Murray, Maguire and Jarry come up to WBS.

We have the luxury of not needing to take on another contract in Vokoun's absence. We can still win games with an AHL goalie in net.

Crying in the hallway of Arena in Helsinki?

Not so far...

 

[JQR]

Glass looks like a completely different player this season.

 

[Shrimper]

Is it me or has Crosby not had many shifts yet?

 

[Ogrezilla]

I don't know how anybody can listen to how excited Errey gets over guys like Maatta and not fall in love with him. Bob Errey is the best.

 

[DegenX]

bibs had his wheaties this morning

 

[KIRK]

I've been saying this the last few games:

KCD + Shutdown Pair = Extended Shifts Playing Defense

Just had one. Seems like a recipe for Sid to spend most shifts playing defense. No idea why that combo, but something that's noticeable.

 

[DrDangles]

Seeing Gladams on the 3rd line makes me sad

Our whole bottom 6 makes me a sad panda right now.

 

[JQR]

Woah woah, all the M.D.s on here told me Glass had a torn MCL, what's he doing in the lineup?

Yeah, because it's completely ridiculous to speculate a possible knee injury as a result of a guy falling awkwardly on another guys knee.

 

[difcog]

So umm, is Maatta-Borts having more ice time than usual?

 

[Ogrezilla]

they led the team in ES ice time last night, didn't they?

 

[KIRK]

1st and 2nd with 5 shifts each, 3rd and 4th with 3 each.

 

[Gallatin]

How does Maatta make that play at the blueline? Any other Pens defenseman gives up an odd man break there- yet he perfectly leaves the puck sitting inside the blueline as a forward pressures him into the neutral zone. Kid seems to always know what to do....

 

[KIRK]

They did.

Very interested to see if they get the minutes tonight, because you can't protect them on the road.
