GDT: Game 5 | Pens @ TBL 7:30PM EST| Being there ...

[Nakawick]

Sportsnet with their regular "Could Duchene play in Pittsburgh?" segment.

Doug Maclean wants it to happen as much as some of us.

 

[Andy99]

Wow. Sully with a line change. Sheary and Horny now with Sid and Jake and Rust with McKegg

Edit...think he's trying to make more offensive on the third line

 

[KIRK]

Is he hurt??

Nah, Letang's been giving him pointers.

 

[Shrimper]

having a nasty thought of Kunitz trucking Letang.

Kunitz couldn't hit a fly.

I've got no problem with him going with feel in terms of what combo is working with Sid on what particular night.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Nah, Letang's been giving him pointers.

So he's concussed?

 

[BHD]

Take the crowd out of this.

 

[madinsomniac]

This game is gravy to me... when I saw we started with 2 b2b's vs the lineup we saw with the Nashville game sandwiched in I feared we wouldnt get a point to start the season... two wins and an ot loss and im fine here

Pens-Bolts: The Niemi Adventures

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Is that Marc-Andre Niemi out there??

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Please don't f*** them, Niemi.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Niemi already looks like an adventure...

 

[madinsomniac]

So Tampa seems geeked to see this goalie matchup for some reason

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

this game may be a blowout

 

[BHD]

Shades of Fleury!

 

[Shrimper]

Rough start.

 

[BHD]

Naw, Niemi isn't "nervous." He just isn't very good.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Niemi slides around like he's not wearing skates

 

[KIRK]

Shades of Fleury!

Versus Tampa version Fleury?

 

[Pancakes]

What do you guys think of Mears? He's kinda like the exact opposite of Steiggy to me. He's got a good knowledge of the game and makes good comments, but he's a little lacking in personality imo. Steiggy had the personality part down but god was he ever awful at calling the game or commenting on it.

Wasn't that a Gene Hackman movie? The SS Niemi overturns in the ocean . . .

... absolutely... whatever team trades for him will surely dress him when they play in Pittsburgh lol

Makes it easier to actually watch the game

Perhaps they could breed a competent announcer. 50/50 chance,no, of that . . . or a moron without personality?

I really like him but now Errey annoys me. Steigy's personality part wasn't a plus, tbh.
