Great GDT, Eightone!

Let's keep this win streak moving forward.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Come on. You already know that Letang alone is going to outscore their Defense. Karlsson and Burns who?

I f***ing love Vlasic. I would kill to get him here. Can you imagine the frenchie duo Vlasic-Letang?

Now picture this...

Vlasic-Letang
Dumoulin-Schultz

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I'm going to be there tonight for my bi-annual trip to the Burgh.. they better win!

 

[fragmag]

Would love to see Riikola back in the lineup. I liked Ru's game and I get the 3 defensive pairs all have the proper right hand left hand set up, but still want to see him play.

 

[Ryder71]

Tonight should be a good test, I hope we pass with flying colors. Let's Go Pens!

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

We got stomped last time. Hoping for (and expecting) a better showing tonight.

 

[OscarsCards]

Dayuuum, those Sharks! I've seen that cartoon some 20 years ago...

 

[DegenX]

Good stuff @EightyOne. Thanks again for helping out

 

[Andy99]

I'd love to see Sully actually match lines in this game since he has last change...if he's smart he will...Hertl was a beast against Malkin in SJ and that line in general really took advantage in the D zone of G-Phil pairing...even with ZAR there, I'd like to see L3 and/or L4 matched up against Hertl, freeing G's line to try to take advantage of the bottom 6 and 3rd pairing...Sharks top 6 and top two pairs are outstanding and we need a more defensive mindset against them..

boys need to really bring it tonight!

 

[DegenX]

 

[Andy99]

Wow...didn't expect that one...I guess because Murray sucked in the last one against SJ and CDS has generally been better at home

 

[MeinerEiner]

This is going to bite us in the ass

 

[heysmilinstrange]

DeSmith starting? He's definitely earned it, what with his killer .889 and 3+ GAA since the new year.

 

[Slaaapshuter]

DeSmith had a really good run for a while, once his replacement "magic" wore off there's no question that Murray should get every start possible as our number 1.

Stupid.

And poor Riikola.

Yep...the defense pairs should be
Dumo-Letang
Petts-Schultz
Riikola-Ruh

 

[BalticWarrior]

So Teddy sitting this one aswell?

 

[Common Sense]

Madden said last week that management and the coaching staff actually really think DeSmith is the better goalie, and I believe him at this point.

 

[MrBrightside]

We went from -115 to +105 on the ML after the morning skate. The sharps think Murray is the better goalie.

I thought i was the only one that felt that way.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I'v been pretty happy how the Pens are trending lately, but i don't like their chances in this game.

Sharks are really good, they should be focused for their first game of the road trip.

I just don't want to see the Pens get run of the building like they did last time against San Jose.

[Tasty Biscuits]

CDS has been really spazzy in net recently, hopefully he calms it down a bit tonight.

Just like he earned that nice contact

I’m amazed they’re even paying attention to the starting goalie in a regular season NHL game.

I have a good feeling about tonight’s game, which means they’re guaranteed to lose 5-2.
