Hockey is back!

The Pens take on the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions in Game 1.

The Penguins are already hit hard with the injury bug — Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jake Guentzel, and Zach Aston-Reese will sit out game 1.

Off-Season Moves

This offseason the Pens lost Jared McCann, Brandon Tanev, Cody Ceci, and some depth pieces in Mark Jankowski, Colton Sceviour, and Frederick Gudreau.

Meanwhile, Tampa moved on from Barclay Goodrow, Blake Coleman, David Savard, Alex Barre-Boulet, and Yanni Gourde. New players include Corey Perry and Zach Bogosian.

First I voted Pens in regulation, because I’m a shameless homer under any circumstances…

Then I saw the line-ups…

 

[TySmith4Norris]

Kap + Carter goals

…but a loss in regulation

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Love the layout . Easy on the eyes with the contrast and font. Good injection of color too.

Also let's say a prayer for Jarry.

 

[Gurglesons]

Big win by the Pens tomorrow.

 

[Ryder71]

Big win by the Pens tomorrow.

What exactly after looking at each teams respective line ups do you predicate that on? WTF? LOL

 

[Rudy Russo]

Let's go pens. Looking forward to another pens season.

 

[Flying Dego]

-Jarry shutout
-Lafferty and ERod with the only goals.

HFboards Pens implodes.

Let’s go Pens. I know JR botched the off season, but let’s stay afloat while 71 and 87 are out.

 

[Sideline]

Hot take: Tampa is only a goalie better that the Penguins when both are healthy. They lack the depth that made them great last year.

Boyle? Where's BOYLE?!

O'Doyle Boyle Rules!

I would like to have a word with Kap and his fashion choices.

 

[ColePens]

f***ing unreal thinking hockey is back. It's like 78 degrees in Pittsburgh (love this).

Great GDT. Great to see hockey is back. No Sid/G is a sad preview of what is just right around the corner. I am expecting to get our ass kicked tonight.

I would like to have a word with Kap and his fashion choices.

Would that word be "great" or "interesting"?

I want to throw a glass of bourbon in your face and walk out with an exaggerated disgust.

DO YOU NOT SEE THAT FEDORA WITH SUN GLASSES HANGING OFF?!?!? IS THAT KID ROCK?

I dunno, I can't see which kind of Crocs he's wearing.

Pretty big day in sports for me. Poland is playing a make or break World Cup qualification match against the team ahead of them in the standings. Pens kicking off the season against the back to back champs.

At least only one of those has grave consequences for failure.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I hope we win

 

[Pens x]

Yea, Kap looks like the Walmart version of Auston Matthews, style wise.

 

[Peat]

The great thing about playing the champs with 24m of forwards missing is I won't be that bothered what happens as long as avoid embarrassment.

I will disavow this post when we narrowly miss out on points due to an asinine error in a gutsy performance.

I'm already blaming Lafferty, Erod, and Petts for the loss.

Amen. Pets already turned the puck over 3 times in my mind.
