[AuroraBorealis]

Sheahan?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Simon playing tonight almost definitely, nice.

 

[Gurglesons]

So begins the ascension of Riikola to regular NHLer.

So begins the ascension of Riikola to regular NHLer.

Are we sure they won't just opt for Ruhwedel?

 

[Gurglesons]

Are we sure they won't just opt for Ruhwedel?

It’d be weird for them to replace Letang with Riikola and Oleksiak with Ruh.

That being said judging by our D decisions this year, it is not out of the question!

 

[fragmag]

Can't wait to watch this game, think the Pens will win even after last nigth game.

 

[LOGiK]

I really do hate western conf games. They mean so little to a deep east coaster.
Can't find a reason to care about this game other than needed points and beer.

I think we had much better puck management last night relative to most games. We need for that to continue. Take care of the puck and be fundamentally sound, if we can do those things we should secure the two points tonight. So yes, I'm concerned.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I am expecting a little bit of a let down after such an emotional win last night.

I hope I am wrong.

Let's go Pens!

 

[PensandCaps]

Wild are such a bleh team.

We should be able to outskate them.

Easy 5-2 win

 

[LOGiK]

I'd be upset tonight if it wasn't for seeing Bumblebee movie. It was actually good in terms of G1. Story wasn't so convoluted mess that all the others were.

 

[Empoleon8771]

2 good lineup moves by Sullivan to get Simon back in and Riikola on the 2nd pair.

Sick. Simon on the 2nd line.

That is a pretty tasty line up outside of Rust with Sid. And that has been insane so might as well let it run its course.

 

[Clare2904]

Man, I got zero energy for this game tonight.

 

[PensandCaps]

Simon to Brassards or Genos line?

Can't break up the top line right now.

Pearson with Malkin and Kessel is meh. Maybe Simon would do better there.

Or move Guentzel to L2 and go Simon-Crosby-Rust

 

[DegenX]

I'm curious to see how that works out.

 

[PensandCaps]

I like ZAR as a 4th liner.

That is the best 4th line we've seen all year.

Actually having 4 lines to roll is nice.

 

[Fordy]

trying something mildly interesting, thanks sully

That 3L should be doing serious damage to opposing teams. I expect big things from that line. This team ... well, weak at D obviously, but otherwise should be a scoring machine.

Points. All about points. And beer, well never need to justify beer.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Simon with Geno? Nice... but @KIRK told me it would not happen

 

[Andy99]

Sweet....finally a ZAR demotion....

 

[Andy99]

I would have given Cullen the night off...he’s played great but he shouldn’t be playing every night to keep it that way...

Schultz left such a big hole. Sigh.
