GDT: #3 | Penguins vs Jets | 7:00 | ATTSN

[KIRK]

Good lord that Jets healthy defense is brutal.

Not brutal enough that they'd entertain for a fraction of a second trading for Jack Johnson, mind you . . . but still terrible.

 

[KIRK]

I hope JJ has the best game of his career and Winnipeg decides to take him.

Spoiler: Even if he does . . .

they won't

 

[KIRK]

Peak yinzer is...

Cargo khaki shorts, Pens jersey t-shirt with an older player on it (Talbot, MAF, Guerin, etc), and dirty sneakers with black socks.

I guarantee half of you are wearing this right now.

 

[Pancakes]

It's early yet but JJ is rocking a cool minus 12 cREL and Gudbranson is at minus 10.1. That pairing is gonna be a horror show all season.

 

[K Fleur]

I’d sooner play Laine as a defenseman than trade for JJ.

 

[Ogrezilla]

In sweat pants?

I wish. Jeans and my Bob Errey jersey.

 

[KIRK]

Potential wrinkle...

Marino or Riikola?

I'd like to say that's way over the top.

In good conscience, I can't . . .

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Marino or Riikola?

Someone asked the same question and he commented back that he expects it to be Marino.

please let this be true...a really exciting reason to watch this otherwise blah game if he is...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

McCann could be the breakout star of the year for us. He is that good. That gives me hope.

He is no Geno and we will miss the big guy a lot, but I have faith in McCann.

Let's kick the Jets ass

 

[K Fleur]

It’d be cool if Tanev could have a big game against his former team. The same way every single former Penguin ever seems to have great games when they play us.

Respect my worn-out Cooke tshirt, you snob!

Here here with your last sentence, but as it pertains to JM I'm curious but optimistic he'll do well. I'm not 100% convinced he will aptly fill that role, but I think it's far more likely than not that he will. I'm looking forward to see how both McCann and Blueger do over the next few weeks. They should be excited for this opportunity. I hope for the teams sake they make the most of it.

I'm not crazy about going 7 D this early in the season when you're looking to build up some familiarity/chemistry for lines but if that's what it takes to get Marino in the lineup then I'm all for it.

f***er must be washed up.

Sample size matters ladies and gents.

 

[SEALBound]

This would be an excellent game for Marino and Riikola.

Marinos gotta score like 3 goals, only then he might be able to stay in the lineup.

a Gordie Howe hat trick should do it too...
