Sullivan said while they're trying to win hockey games,

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Bonus question - how many goals will the Pens allow with Carter, Dumo and Ruhwedel on the ice together? If less than 2 then our goalie will need a medal of honor or something.

 

[Pens x]

I’m sure the Chelsea pier tummy sticks practice will have the boys prepared for tonight.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This is gonna be a disaster. I just hope nobody gets injured.

It’s Time: Sullivan Has to Make Changes; Carter Must Sit

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the New York Rangers Thursday, and with the defeat, said goodbye to even the most hopeful prayer of finishing third in the Metro Division. It was their second straight haphazard effort leading to a loss, and allowed the Florida Panthers to close within three...

So emergency recall for Frieds means 2 D are out, right? Hopefully not Letang again…I wouldn’t mind if Dumo was sick lol

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

If Sullivan ever actually did show Carter the pine Kingerski is the kind of guy that would announce it via tweet like three games later.

[SEALBound]

Cognizant of workloads. Plays Carter.

Perhaps the coaching staff and management is under the impression that Carter's full NMC includes not being moved to the bench? Would explain why Rust still gets a sweater every game, too.

I mean I joke but these guys have been so utterly incompetent all season that who knows.
