Simon gets a chance on line 1 but not Sprong? weak

Simon gets a chance on line 1 but not Sprong? weak

Simon's got 4 primary assists in his last 3 games. He's gettin it done at both ends right now.

That being said, I don't enjoy Sprong on L4 either...

Who really cares at this point? We're winning games without Sprong contributing as much as a lot of us would like. This is about team success, not Sprong's success. Aside from like 4 shifts in the third of last game, Sprong still looks basically clueless on what to do or where to be in the offensive zone which is a real head-scratcher for someone who is supposedly so well renowned for his offensive prowess. He needs to give Sully no choice but to start him in the top 6, not get one primary assist to Geno when Geno did 70% of the work.

Just hope this isn’t a let down game after the road trip.

Don’t sleepwalk into this one boys...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

This one's for the 'Burgh. Emotional game.

LETS GO PENS!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Hoping for another huge game by the 3 headed monster.

I am so proud of this damn city and love what the Pens are doing tonight.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Just win it!

I am watching though, so they might lose

Should I tune in? Last time I missed a game (or the majority of it) the Pens were up 7-0 on Calgary.

 

[Zirakzigil]

There isn’t an “I” when it comes to a tragity like what happened. Win it for the city boys!

Any news on Letang yet? When do they take the ice?

 

[DegenX]

Good stuff @BHD! Thanks for helping out!

 

[ColePens]

Any news on Letang yet? When do they take the ice?

I noticed in pre-game Rusty is doing what Tangers normally does. I didn't see him on the ice (not there live). But he usually dishes the pucks out and it was Rust.

Errey said no 58...

Errey said no 58...

It’s a bummer but a smart move...he should sit til he’s 100% because we’ll need him...

But yow...our D is crappy tonight...

Unpopular Opinion: We won a Cup without Tanger...

No Letang, no Brassard. French Canadian hero shortage.

 

[Andy99]

In honor of our injured French Canadian brethren....Montreal’s finest in a song dedicated to their future wellbeing...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Hoping for those sweet hands tonight from the big 3.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

No Letang, no Brassard. French Canadian hero shortage.

That's way too much fashion out of the line-up. Now we'll just see a bunch of guys wearing Brooks Brothers suits.

You are our hero
