[Randy Butternubs]

Wtf was that, Sid and co never touched the cup on a banner raising opener.

Yes, Sid certainly did:

Banner night: Penguins celebrate Stanley Cup title before season opener



Anywho, I've got tickets for the game tonight but can't attend. And the tickets aren't selling...

It's ....a.....HOCKEY NIGHT..in Pittsburgh!

 

[AverageJoeFan]

So, Sprong is out for tonight then?

The caps had a serious win against the Bruins for GM1 last night. Hopefully tonight the adrenaline rush is over and we trounce them, but good!

LGP!!!

 

[Matsun]

I' ve got a bad feeling about this one. Can see us winning the cup but don't like the odds tonight.

Both Sprong and Dumo did full practice yesterday and were on the lines you'd expect if they were going to play. Don't think its confirmed they'll play but its expected.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Thank god hockeys back

Thanks, was going by the GDT, so wasn't sure.

WOOT!! It's time for HAUKEE!!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I expect a SUPER motivated Penguins team tonight. We will crush those animals!

Sid to lead the charge.

 

[Ryder71]

So happy that we have the quality and depth at center that we do. It should pose match up issues for almost every opponent that we face. We're stacked!

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Remember how we were so screwed last year with back to backs and got destroyed?

Well its time to exact some revenge. Caps are playing us after the Bruins. Pens need to blow this the **** out. We're talking football scores on these *****es.

LET'S KICK THE TIRES LIGHT THE FIRE, WOO!

​

Ironically, to this post.. the caps won last night putting up a touchdown and extra point.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Oh GDTs, how I've missed you. Psyched for this season. We are stacked. As long as Murs rebounds, which I think he will, we have a great chance of going the distance, luck pending.

Uh. What lines are we expecting them to play? Lol. Does Sullivan even know yet?

Expected expected...aaaand...Expected

 

[Gold Diamond]

The greatest sport on Earth has returned to us. Thank the Almighty.

GO PENS!

Lines in practice (when fit) have consistently been the same for about a week tbf. Sprong on the 4th, Dumo with Letang, etc.etc.

So Sully will probably do something crazy

 

[DegenX]

Good stuff UM! Thanks again for helping out
So happy the season is finally starting! Let's go Pens!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Oh and before I forget to do it:

f*** THE CAPS!
f*** THE CAPS!
f*** THE CAPS!
f*** THE CAPS!

Feels good.

 

[Angrrus]

Capitals. 7:0. What a way to celebrate the banner raising. Just to compare with total crap show that Penguins had in the first two games last year. Talk about motivation and leadership.

 

[Peat]

I'm worried they're gonna be too amped up and not calm enough.


But, debbie downerism aside... I dunno, I like how few people are talking about the Pens. I like the obvious chip on their shoulders. There's a potential for something really, really special this season if it all clicks.

 

[TNT87]

It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh!!

Ever since June 2017, “Penguins” and “super motivated” never meshed together well in the same sentence...

 

[Lomez]

Gotta respect the Caps winning 7-0 against a reasonably decent Bruins team on banner-raising night. Its a long season, and the Pens really need to fear no team. Let's get this started!

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Nice GDT, is Cullen not playing center?

L4 LW ES, but you'll see him at C on the PK.

L4 LW ES, but you'll see him at C on the PK.

How’s he looked in preseason? He’s been a C for his whole career yeah?

2016 Cullen- cup
2017 Cullen - cup
2018 no Cullen - no cup
2019 Cullen - ?
