Excited for these lines, Blues will force the emotional engagement imo, should be nice and physical, RIP Kale Clague probably

Kopi is due for a goal, make it so

Gonna be some tougher assignments for Vilardi and the 4th line, look at that Blues 3rd line, AND they have last change

GKG!

As said in the roster thread--Maatta out, Anderson-Doughty is a thing for at least a full game, Clague moves up with Roy(!), MacD and Walker.

Andersson-Vilardi-Brown gonna be pretty slow but at least they'll muck it up.

Against the blues, I would go with something like this:

Iafallo Kopitar Kempe
Andreas Vilardi Carter
Moore Lizotte Wagner
Grundstrom Andersson Brown

I am fine with the D.

I hope Clifford doesnt decide that its a good idea to fight Macdermid, would hate to see him get hurt.

Haven't watched any of the games yet (will tonight), why is Maatta already in the doghouse? As far as I remember Pens scouting report read "reliable" if unspectacular defenseman ...

He's definitely been unspectacular, but reliable? No, not at all. He's been pretty terrible on offense and defense and in transition. In general, those are the three areas of the game you want to be good at.

Remember when we traded a bag of pucks to Chi for Maatta? Think Chi won that trade. Damn. Can’t win’em all.

Maybe Määttä felt he needed to be something he's not after being slotted in the top pair with Drew. Started to do too much instead of doing what made him successful in the first place. Hopefully this resets him and he can find his game again.

Yeah I felt there was too much responsibility on the top pairing next to Doughty. Once he was moved down I thought he was better so maybe his future here is as a bottom pairing defenseman. I never thought he was going to stay past his contract, but it does make you think it might've been better to bring back Hutton instead who would've been cheaper contract wise.
