Hopefully the blue line simplifies their respective games, the forwards backcheck and help insulate, we get solid goaltending, and we leave Buffalo with two points.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Nice GDT. Tastefully restrained, yet effective.

 

[brewski420]

Don't particularly care for the poll attached to the GDT but that is just me. Otherwise like everything else.

 

[Andy99]

We’re out of a PO spot again...this year has been more than frustrating...we need this game badly...and yet the Sabres roster looks better than ours right now...

 

[Ugene Magic]

Keep going strong, Eightyone!

It's all in jest, bud. Sports don't matter, discussions on them matter less. But we are gonna try and have fun, anyway.

 

[tom_servo]

But Gudbranson is actually showing well in the poll. I voted positively.

 

[thecore]

Buffalo is not the game we want for Gud to make his debut. I’d say CBJ, but Dubinsky seems to have lost most of his bite. I’m very much looking forward to the next Philly game at least to see how he manages that.

 

[Rudy Russo]

I'm glad Teddy Blueger is back playing with the pens.

 

[DegenX]

@EightyOne delivers as always

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I think he's going to destroy some players and cause a ruckus. Should be a hell of a time.

 

[LOGiK]

I hope Goober has a great game so I can make fun y'all

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Sheary needs 14 more points to earn us a 3rd.

We need to go up by like 8 goals and then let Sheary get 5 points in the last few minutes. I say 8 goals because once we start giving up goals, I'm not convinced we'll be able to stop.

How pissed would Botts be if we pulled the goalie to let him score.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Can’t wait to see Sheary falls on the ice 52475 times to remind me why I don’t miss him

 

[The Old Master]

can't wait to see the big match up "gud vs sheary" should be a good one.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

We’re out of a PO spot again...this year has been more than frustrating...we need this game badly...and yet the Sabres roster looks better than ours right now...

If we can merely show that we're better than friggin Carolina and Montreal it wouldn't be an issue. I have to believe we can edge out ONE of those teams, but it's been pretty annoying to watch us struggle to maintain a playoff spot.

 

[canadianguy77]

If Gudbranson comes in and is more of the same as he was in Van, I would hope the management and coaching staff are smart and humble enough to sit him in the next one.(assuming there's a player healthy enough to take his spot)

Falling out of the race and subsequently missing the playoffs because of an insistence to play Eric Gudbranson might be a little too much for me. Just play the best players available the rest of the way through is all that I ask. I'll accept whatever happens this season if they can just do that.

 

[Shrimper]

5-2 Pens

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

We better f***ing win tonight.

And tomorrow. We better f***ing win tomorrow too.

 

[TheGuiminator]

We better ****ing win tonight.

And tomorrow. We better ****ing win tomorrow too.

Better win every fu*king game until the end of the season!

 

[BillPrep]

great GDT LXXXI...

VAN leaked 5 against PHX last night...I voted the positive...

GO PENS!!!

 

[ImporterExporter]

I think he's going to destroy some players and cause a ruckus. Should be a hell of a time.

I want to kick Bautista in the nuts for having a sun tattoo around his belly button. Or any dude that does that.

I don't think that's out of line.

 

[chethejet]

Crunch time here ad Pens need to get to another gear. But without Letang and Dumo for any extended period, just hard to see the Pens hanging in there with this blue line. Bummer Rust is out for a while as well.

 

[LittleSpoon]

Anyone else particularly excited for this one tonight? Got's the good feelings today, Kessel shirt under the Kessel jersey...gotta think he gets a point because of that eh?
