GDT: #51 | Senators vs Penguins | Fri Feb1@7PMest ATTSN-PT, TSN5, RDS

[DegenX]

No problem. Rust and Horny can both play the left side.

Hornqvist can play on the left?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Wow, for the first time in 10yrs, I am excited to see the Pens play the Sens all of a sudden.

Also, poor Blue.

 

[wej20]

No problem. Rust and Horny can both play the left side.

True but I think both are much better on the right side. Maybe Simon moves back to LW.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Cullen can play wing and Teddy could be the center.

But i don't know if Sully will do that.

Makes too much sense and Wilson does some invisible things that no one but JR and Sully love.

 

[vodeni]

7 d-man tonight?

 

[Empoleon8771]

7 d-man tonight?

Depends on whether McCann and Bjugstad can get here on time. I imagine that they can, they probably knew at around 9 that they were going to Pittsburgh. I doubt it came together in a second.

 

[Tom Hanks]

McCann is listed as C only. Bjugstad is listed as RW/C. Unless they both end up playing C and move Cullen to LW?

But anyways, this is what I would like to see:

Guentzel-Sid-Hornqvist
Rust-Geno-Bjugstad
Pearson-Mcann-Kessel
Simon-Cullen-Wilson

I imagine they’ll both be in the bottom 6. Top 6 is working pretty good atm so I think Sully will leave it be for now. At least until the new guys get some practice in.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Cullen can play wing and Teddy could be the center.

But i don't know if Sully will do that.

Cullen has been way better at C than wing this season. I don’t think you’ll see him on the wing again.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Hornqvist can play on the left?

It's been tried a few times, yes. He plays so simplistically that I don't see an issue if that's the case. Just make a short pass and go to the net. If no pass, just dump it in and grind.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Also, poor Blue.

Dude really got dealt a bad hand. It's sad.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Anyone know is starting in net ?

Any updates on if it will be DeSmith or Murray tonight? And obvious whoever starts tonight will start tomorrow. Thanks.

 

[Clare2904]

f*** f*** f***

Geno setting the stage for HBK2.0

 

[wej20]

**** **** ****

Damn it. So does this guarantee that Bjugstad and McCann are getting to Pittsburgh tonight? or are Mario and Bob Errey getting the band back together?

 

[Clare2904]

 

[Tom Hanks]

**** **** ****

Well at least it’s not his legs but still

 

[Empoleon8771]

So it sounds like we'll be seeing this tonight:

Guentzel-Crosby-Simon
Rust-Bjugstad-Kessel
Pearson-McCann-Hornqvist
Cullen-Blueger-Wilson

And JR's comments of "Bjugstad may move to RW when all of our centers are healthy" deals with Malkin being injured. His comment makes sense now in the context of Malkin being banged up.

 

[Turin]

**** **** ****

Geno you legendary dumb ass.

 

[Andy99]

I’m upset but not surprised and I called it...it sounds like it might turn out to be longer than day to day...bummer

 

[DesertPenguin]

We traded our Sid/Geno injury insurance literally the day that Geno goes out with an injury.

 

[vodeni]

Geno setting the stage for HBK2.0

you mean RBK

 

[vodeni]

I’m upset but not surprised and I called it...it sounds like it might turn out to be longer than day to day...bummer

yeah, whether it was that hit, I just hope its not that shoulder or wrist or ...oh man this will be a brutal weekend

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

so how do the trades today effect our chances of getting Kunitz back?

 

[DesertPenguin]

So it sounds like we'll be seeing this tonight:

Guentzel-Crosby-Simon
Rust-Bjugstad-Kessel
Pearson-McCann-Hornqvist
Cullen-Blueger-Wilson

And JR's comments of "Bjugstad may move to RW when all of our centers are healthy" deals with Malkin being injured. His comment makes sense now in the context of Malkin being banged up.

Bug to RW is interesting. Wonder how that would look.

Guentzel Crosby Hornqvist
Rust Malkin Kessel
Pearson McCann Bjugstad
Cullen Bleuger Simon

Rust and Simon are interchangeable, but you really can't have either of them playing top 9 RW if Bjugstad is at RW. Would prefer:

Guentzel Crosby Hornqvist
Pearson Malkin Kessel
McCann Bjugstad Rust
Simon Cullen Bleuger/ZAR/Wilson
