That looks like Jeff Lynne in the middle, not Carter lol....

 

[Gurglesons]

Triple J line. @Tom Hanks Aussie reference.

 

[Ugene Magic]

That looks like Jeff Lynne in the middle, not Carter lol....

Ha... I was too lazy to cut up a new head shot.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Is Jarry getting the start? Honestly think Sullivan should go with DeSmith as a way of "benching" Jarry for his dumb antics in the third period.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Please take a shot in my East seeding predictions thread! I wouldn't nag but I need to get as many votes in as possible before tomorrow's games. Otherwise the thread becomes corrupt.

Good luck to all contestants

Also thanks for a beauty GDT, as always.

Just to illustrate the importance of Kapanen returning soon:

This chart definitively shows that Mark Friedman is our most potent offensive weapon by far.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

This chart definitively shows that Mark Friedman is our most potent offensive weapon by far.

I was leaning towards sample size qualms but the brilliance he showed in his 2 games are still so fresh in my mind that I'm ignoring such considerations.

 

[Andy99]

Going to miss the next 4-5 Pens games, including this one, since I’ll be slightly off the grid for a week...hopefully that fact helps the Pens get their collective heads on straight lol...emotional and immature never won anything in the NHL and the core should know that ...get clinical and dispassionate and focused and get on a tear like their likely first round opponent, the Boston Bruins....otherwise they have no chance to win shit...

@Ugene Malkin

With the bones gdt... reminded me of the shake a bone song from BB

 

[Al Smith]

That looks like Jeff Lynne in the middle, not Carter lol....

Just needs sunglasses.

 

[LOGiK]

After last game I'm not sure the penguins can plug the leak that is goals allowed.

I think the debs steal this one away from the penguins

=/

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Sounds like Kap could be back next week.

 

[LOGiK]

Sounds like Kap could be back next week.

That video of him skating showing him trucking it at full tilt really surprised me....

After laying basically dead on the run way to the locker room to this in what... a month... is really surprising.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Jarry in the nets

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

What is Sully’s “game time decision” record?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Jarry in the nets

I am sure Tristan will have a great game, but I would not have played him after that 3rd period.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I am sure Tristan will have a great game, but I would not have played him after that 3rd period.

Yeah, looks like he’s going to have a chance to redeem himself.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yeah, looks like he’s going to have a chance to redeem himself.

He would have had that chance NJ if it were up to me. Sit as a little punishment for having been so nonchalent on a few plays, come back with a vengence on Saturday.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Is Jarry getting the start? Honestly think Sullivan should go with DeSmith as a way of "benching" Jarry for his dumb antics in the third period.

Jarry is in net.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I am sure Tristan will have a great game, but I would not have played him after that 3rd period.

Gotta get back on and ride the ride at some point. But hopefully, he at least had to skate laps or write an essay or something.

 

[Darren McCord]

You gotta play Jarry. He is your starter now and the future. I like Desmith but Jarry needs to be playing well on the stretch to the playoffs.

 

[66-30-33]

Hopefully he wont have PTSD flashbacks to that 1 period.
