Pre-Game Talk: 05/03/2013 Islanders at Penguins: I'm not obsessed with Sid, my F5 key is just stuck

[KIRK]

nice.

hope its Iginla on the right and Bennett on the left

Uh yeah . . . right . . .

 

[KIRK]

Awesome news on Sid, Sounds like he might be playing tom

I hope so. With Iginla back on Malkin's LW, Pens are going to need all the help they can get.

Martin just joined #Penguins practice,a few minutes late. Only Neal missing now.

I don't like Bennett - Malkin - Iginla that much, would prefer KMB and DCI, but I'm just happy to have Sidney back.

Everything is happening!!!1!

 

[MrBurghundy]

I wonder if Bylsma will feel like giving an update on Neal's injury today.

Yeah, seems kind of petty to complain about anything else if Sid comes back.

Iginla is on the rw, according to Potash, the lines actually work out better with Neal out, you got everybody in there right position

I'm o'k with this. As I've said all along, as long as neither Neal nor Iggy plays anywhere but RW, I'm o'k with the lineup beyond that.

I think that trio will be fine, and I sure as **** like that better than Iggy-Geno-Bennett. What concerns me, if these two lines sans Neal light it up, is what happens when Neal returns? LW? LW for Iggy? Back to the lines we thought?

You know, even though Sid would be starting with Kunitz and Duper, I would not be surprised to see him also play with Iggy and Duper.

I wonder if any of this also has to do with the initial prognosis for Neal. The worse the injury, the more understandable these lines are.

Yeah, if Neal is missing, a Bennett-Malkin-Iginla line doesn't sound bad at all.

At least Iginla's on the RW, if Neal's injury means he'll be out for more than a game or two I can understand going with 14-87-9 but I'd give 9-87-12 and 14-71-19 a shot first.

Iginla on the RW.. then Neal comes back and get's flopped on the left again. Stop flip flopping Iggy!

 

[plaidchuck]

With Neal out, cue the return of our favorite player, #48!

 

[Dying Alive]

OH MY GOD!!!!!

[roready]

I hope Neal is O.K., but I'll take a trade off of Crosby playing if Neal is out.

Having Bennett-Malkin-Iginla will be O.K. also if Neal is out.

 

[IcedCapp]

Nope, TK is on the 5th line with Jeffrey and Vitale, Juice moves to 4th line.

I'm o'k with this. As I've said all along, as long as neither Neal nor Iggy plays anywhere but RW, I'm o'k with the lineup beyond that.

Yea, it's fine. Like you, I was just concerned about what happens when Neal comes back. I'm just glad to see BB getting the call, it's the absolute right choice.

It doesn't look like it.

 

[Crafton]

Sid won't even change his cup or the brand of peanut butter he uses, what makes you think he'll change wingers.

 

[Shockmaster]

I'm okay with having Bennett-Malkin-Iginla if Neal is going to be out. However, when Neal gets back it needs to be Dupuis-Crosby-Iginla and Kunitz-Malkin-Neal. It does seem like Bylsma has finally realized Iginla needs to play RW, so hopefully he won't try to square peg him onto the same line as Neal when he's healthy.

 

[IcedCapp]

Crosby and Jokinen are rotating on the No. 1 power play, which also includes Malkin, Kunitz, Letang and Iginla.

#Pens top PP unit has Letang and Iginla on points. Malkin on half wall. Crosby down low. Kunitz net-front #FirePower -SK

[JTG]

IcedCapp is killing me right now.

"Coated in truth and bathing in fact..."

 

[cheesedanish87]

Damn, If Crosby was cleared right now, don't think he would be subbing in on PP

 

[SirBrad]

Wow great news. Sucks about Neal but hopefully it's still minor and he's back before too long.

 

[wej20]

Jokinen can take some shifts with Malkin to to help out with faceoffs in the Dzone.
