I'm not so sure that's Henrik... Has anyone seen Joel Lundqvist recently?

I remember the part of the season when I used to care what the lines and defense pairings were going to be, and got mad if they didn't make sense or seemed to go against on ice performance.

 

[nevesis]

Whatever it takes to get him the **** out of the lineup, I am all for.

Hank looks great at practice, he will be good to go.

Don't like Staal-Klein but I get not wanting to put McIlrath up against Crosby. Anything but Dan the Man is a okay in my book.

 

[Placid]

Not much to say other than... WIN

Addition by subtraction. Beggers can't be choosers.

 

[FLNYR]

Hey man will he be wearing the same mask regardless?

 

[JT Kreider]

Those d pairings doe!!

 

[nevesis]

Hey man will he be wearing the same mask regardless?

Absolutely. He's wearing the same mask/cage combo in practice right now.

The odds of that happening again are slim to none.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Looks like point 1 of my improvements came true. Mcilrath in, Girardi out. Keep it this way.

Part 2 shoot a hell of a lot more. Stop hesitating. All of these Pens goalies are sieves. Shoot the ****ing put from everywhere (BESIDES the point when there are clear blockers in front). That was my 3rd point.

We got this. Take game 2 from these guys tmrw. I'm confident. Tmrw is ours.

Dude you just never know with that clown Staal on the ice. So glad hes okay

 

[bigbluebird]

Thank you, Hockey gods!

 

[bigbluebird]

Heart eyes, honestly. Never been better to see him in the net lol

He wasn't just there either, he was on fire during practice. Stopping everything. Hank is a ****ing warrior.

Anybody ever wonder what is going through a guy's head who hides behind his computer and calls a professional athlete who is playing at the top level of his sport who has battled a career threatening concussion and a slapshot to the eye a "clown".? Staal does more charity work in a year than most of us will ever even consider doing in a lifetime. "Clown" just doesn't seem to fit. Sorry for the rant. That just really bothered me. Carry on.

I wonder what the official word is going to be for why Girardi is not at practice. If he's a legit healthy scratch, or if he's legit injured (issues from Boyle hit coming back?)

They sent him back to Pee wee to learn to play whistle to whistle
