That Whalercanes logo is personally insulting and makes me want to vomit.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

That Whalercanes logo is personally insulting and makes me want to vomit.

Concur. Canes Defensive pairings are also incorrect. As of the morning skate they are:

Sekera - Faulk
Hainsey - Bellemore
Jordan - Murphy

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Updated the Canes d pairings...that's what happens when beat writers only post the forward lines. I'm not even going to bother fixing the Penguins lines when they come out, they're a mess one way or another.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Klink is on two lines?!?!1?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Klink is on two lines?!?!1?

That's what happens when you find one ******* winger who isn't a midget (HF standard definition: under 6'2").

 

[Big McLargehuge]

We found out a way to clone one player...so naturally we went with Klinkhammer.

Though he was using Farnham's picture, I'd much rather have two Farnhams

 

[Phil68]

Why the heck is Malkin still playing wing... What the "front the door" smh

 

[titaniumexpose]

*Looks at projected lines...
Should have been drunk by now

 

[DegenX]

read 'em and weep ...

You'll get there I have faith.

 

[deakka]

Adams straight to the 3rd line rounding out a brutal bottom 6.. its baaad

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

You've outdone yourself with that Despres pic. Legit LOL there.

 

[deakka]

No Harrington sucks! :-(

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Update on the Canes side of thing - no J. Staal. He got hit late in the game against the Canadiens on Monday and is being held back for a lower body concern. Former Cane/Pen/Pred and current (again) Hurricane Zach Boychuk will start instead.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

And Goc's nightmare returns with Adams on the 3rd line.

 

[tom_servo]

Love these GDTs.

Beau makes this game worth looking forward to.

 

[penguins2946*]

Harrington out for Pouliot? Despres on the bottom pair behind DP? People aren't going to be happy about that. I'm glad they decided to load up the 1st line though with Sid and Geno, and the 2nd line is pretty solid.

 

[tom_servo]

I see as per GDT the Canes have the 194th ranked PP. Pretty bad.

 

[Gurglesons]

I see as per GDT the Canes have the 194th ranked PP. Pretty bad.

Still will score two against us tonight.

 

[roquay]

Top 6 looks a ****ton better. Beau was the human crowbar that separated Malkin and Sutter.

 

[Wes C Addle]

Would rather see the Colonel in there than Ebbett or Megna.

 

[roquay]

Ebbetts probably only in because he's a Centre

 

[Shrimper]

Happy New Year from England and the UK

GO PENS.

 

[Wes C Addle]

Ebbetts probably only in because he's a Centre

true, but we know Adams is gonna play, might as well let him center that 4th line than having him on the 3rd line wing. Oh well

On another note

437 man games lost in the calendar year....unreal

**** you 2014.
