Pens are going to lose. I guarantee it.

 

[madinsomniac]

LeTs Go pEns

 

[Greeneye]

The Pens will win if Jean Claude Van Damme appears and roundhouses some sense into MJ.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Come on Pens... make us all look stupid.

Please?

 

[MrBurghundy]

Come on Pens... make us all look stupid.

Please?

I don't need any help looking stoopid thank you very much.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Come on Pens... make us all look stupid.

Please?

The D sounds worse than I even imagined (this'll be the first game I've seen), so I'm not hopeful.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Mercifully, I will be playing ball hockey tonight and miss this one. I'll record it just in case it's worth watching, though.

It would be GREAT to put our first in the win column against THAT team.

 

[JackFr]

At least our middle six makes sense now.

 

[Greeneye]

The D sounds worse than I even imagined (this'll be the first game I've seen), so I'm not hopeful.

To be fair Dumo has been pretty good.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Lovejoy is the first player on the red carpet. Yes, the team is actually doing that.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I don't need any help looking stoopid thank you very much.

Me neither.

 

[sf expat71]

If there is one team that doesn't deserve the red carpet treatment... Sheesh.

 

[Asuna]

When is this pregame **** going on?

 

[Winger for Hire]

The Pens marketing and PR are world class, 2nd to none... too bad the same can't be said for their Hockey Ops department.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I'm predicting a win full of false hopes.

 

[Zero Pucks]

Hoping they play well enough that I can force myself to watch at least two periods.

 

[Mordax]

Glad to see that we, the collective HF populous, are already in the point of the season of hating on the Pens. That took, what, 2 games? That may be a new record! And after such an optimistic free agency, that's particularly impressive! Well done everyone.



Go Pens

MJ would put Van Damme in net.

To be fair Dumo has been pretty good.

Some of Dumo's breakout passes have been spectacular. Faceoff dot to opposing blueline, tape to tape in stride. I was at the game in AZ and was impressed.

Ideally, Dumo earns his way onto the second pairing at the expense of Lovejoy and we see this:

Maatta - Letang
Dumoulin - Cole

With a work in progress that removes Scuderi from the 3rd line for one of Clendening or Pouliot. Poo, we need you desperately.

 

[Pancakes]

To be fair Dumo has been pretty good.

Dumo has been great which is a breath of fresh air.

 

[888 98 twins]

Maybe Olli Maatta will play more than Rob Scuderi tonight.

Maybe.

 

[Greeneye]

Maybe Olli Maatta will play more than Rob Scuderi tonight.

Maybe.

Sorry bud, MJ has reached his quota for good decisions today but starting Perron out with Geno. Maybe next game.

 

[Tunez33]

Maybe Olli Maatta will play more than Rob Scuderi tonight.

Maybe.

the great rob sits for no man!

don't know how to embed a tweet but

would explain why scuderi and kunitz never sit, they arrive the same time as Sid to the red carpet...

it's all sid's fault!
