Ehh ..I changed my mind. After beating the Caps last year I thought that would be the end of it..their fans finally learned. "Blow it up, we will never beat the pens"
After reading their board now since they won 3 in a row..."Pens D is weak and Murray looks like trash, we will take advantage" .
Time for another lesson.
Still hoping the Jack Its somehow win. Think the Caps are due against our boys. And overall, I just think Washington is better. Still think the Pens can exploit Washington's thinner forward corps and bottom 4 D-Men, though.
I’m scared of the Caps this year, bring on Columbus for another beatdown.
Totally agree. Murray being a little hot and cold, geno/horny/kess/hags all injured in some way, and just how hockey is unpredictable. Anyone's game.
If Malkin and Hagelin are going to play...would they have all 3 "injured" players on the same line or split them up until healthy? Hagelin - Malkin- Kessel was line 2. Hags and Geno are hurt..Phil has been playing hurt.
Kessel also seems to have chemistry with Sheahan.
While Brassard with Sheary and Rust has looked fine( just not getting results yet) I wouldnt mind seeing Brass with Malkin/Hags and Sheahan with Rust/Phil. Hornqvist would help either line but cant mess with that first line right now.
Also if ZAR starts off next series , not playing well..he should sit a game or two. Let him watch..then put him back in.
Guentzel - Crosby - Hornqvist/Brassard
Hagelin - Malkin - Brassard/Hornqvist
Rust - Sheahan - Kessel
Sheary - Jooris - Kuhn
With ZAR rotating in.
Is something Id go with depending on Hags/Geno injuries. And if we are struggling in those first two games..besides line one.
The Blue Jackets "faithful" are so lacking in that category that last minute tickets to the game tonight are going for as little as $20. That adds another reason why I'm so eager to see them win.
I don't care. You have to go through the best to win it all.
Columbus is way too close to Pittsburgh for that to happen in a series vs us... we tend to drive up prices
Anyone remember the Bortuzzo hit on Jagr as he was coming behind the net, just after releasing a pass? 2014 I think.
Bortz got 2 games because the DOPs deemed that because something like .5 or .6 of a second had passed after Jagr released the puck, the hit was "predatory"...oh, and "violent". So 2 games.
Wonder what Hags thinks about that.
