Dumo is so critical to setting the pairings but man play Riikola on his Left D and at least the pairings look better. Schultz had a nice game and that is a good thing. Pens legs should be good to go and get back to game speed and pace to pressure the puck going forward. Pens were heading down the last couple before the break and hopefully the break gave them needed rest and health to get going again.

I never thought they looked tired, it’s more the lines have no real synergy since Guentzel went down and Crosby came back.

Now with Kahun down it’s an even bigger issue.

Unfortunately this will be the start of Samsonovs mastery of the Penguins....he covers the entire net with his size! Ovie with 2 goals, one an empty netter of course. Caps win 5-2.

Can Jarry handle the heat of the Caps? The true test for him if he gets the nod.

Pens can’t play run and gun hockey with these guys..if we’re not committed to locking things down defensively like the Flyers did against them with their trap, then we have no chance...since I haven’t seen the Pens play that way since Sid returned, I’m predicting a loss ..

Ways I see each team winning... Rookie tendy - us. Carlson being superior to Letang - them.

My posts are jokes. And hockey is just a game.

Jarry could easily handle the game.

But it'll be Murray in net.

Soo...

I know it’s not the traditional rival, but I f***ing hate this team more than the Flyers. Let’s get the W.

Muzz is confirmed in.

I don't have much confidence going into this game.

It just seems like the Pens are asking Sid and Geno to do to much right now

Were basically surrounding Sid and Geno with one top 6 winger and very little depth scoring.
