GDT: #3|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Las Vegas Golden Knights|7:00PM EST|10/11/18|Riiiiiikooooooollaaaaa

[Shady Machine]

I might miss this game but I am betting it'll be a lot of DeSmith doing his stupid slide out save that puts him way out of position for rebounds and mayhem ensues.

So glad I'm not the only one that notices this.

 

[Shady Machine]

Missing this one to attend Monsters vs Baby Pens. Hoping Jarry isn't recalled and plays tonight.

 

[EightyOne]

I'm deserting the Pens tonight and going to watch the LA Kings instead

That means it will be a great game and the Habs will steamroll the Kings.

Get a good scouting report on LA goalie Jack Campbell if he's in. Kid looked dialed in on positioning and reflexes. Super jealous.

Otherwise. Have fun!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Please win, just f***in' win... and do not give up a gazillion goals. PLEASE?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Really excited to see Riikola. Haven’t been this stoked about a blueliner starting his first NHL game since Letang way back.

If he’s anything like what he showed in pre-season, this would be phenomenal good fortune for this org. I’ve been hoping for years on end that they would find a mobile blueliner to compliment Letang, and he looks to check every single box I’ve wanted as well.

Feels too good to be true, so going to have to wait it out and see what happens.

Im excited for DeSmith.

Im excited for DeSmith.

Like for him as a person or to watch him play?

What if he’s so good he prices his way out of Pittsburgh.

Now you're just being contrarian for the hell of it

Jarry was recalled.

LOL. Gotta push the F the JJ signing.

Likely means we move Maatta for a LW, I imagine.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

He won’t. Just trade Malkin.

Gotta push my get Malkin out of town agenda.

 

[EXTRAS]

To watch him play, actually. I believe he is underrated.

nice try

 

[Ryder71]

Finally another game! Not real thrilled with these four day gaps. Hopefully we won't be too rusty in the first period.

Would you want to split up Dumoulin and Letang, though? I think they complement each other pretty well, and Riikola's spot long term is complementing Johnson on the 2nd pair IMO. I think Riikola projects to be a more complete player than Dumoulin, and Johnson needs a more complete D partner than Letang does.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Finally get to watch a game. Lets see how bad the defense is.

 

[mpp9]

I get its tough for a team like the Pens to get up for October games.

But I hope they were watching last night. The team that beat you last year beat the WC champ handily in the finals and handily again last night.

Have some pride and show the league you're still the contender we all think you are.

I dunno man. If they're gonna keep using Johnson as a match up and Letang as a weapon, I think there's a case that Johnson needs strong defence more than a complete player. And vice versa.

We should pray he's that good. Because if he is it means he'll have kicked ass all over the place this year, and we have the flexibility to move other pieces around to accommodate him.

 

[Clare2904]

Do we know who is out for Riikola?

 

[Shady Machine]

Jarry was recalled.

Bleh.

I believe he's overrated so there
