Note about the lines. I just used the lines from the last game for both teams. The Av's should stay the same. With McCann being day to day here was the workflow lines from yesterday's practice. Obviously these won't be tonight's lines, I think.

Guentzel - Crosby - Simon
Kahun - Lafferty - Hornqvist
ZAR - Blueger - Tanev
A. Johnson - Blandisi - Riikola

Dumolin - Letang
Pettersson - Shultz
J. Johnson - Marino

Murray
Jarry

Should be a good test. Hopefully we can get the 2 points.

Let's see who gets injured pre-game..

Next man up!

Let's
Go
Pens!

Hopefully, this isn’t our ‘70s night theme with our lame lineup next to the Avs....



the boys just need to buckle up and...

 

[Ignatius]

I wish Bob Errey was calling the game just so I could hear him say things like, "If anyone is going to end Colorado's streak it's gonna be Tha'Penguins!"

We all know that nothing fires up the boys like Bob Errey hype.

 

[dogthateats]

Can’t wait to see Potash’s outfit.

 

[Andy99]

We can afford no Breakdown in this game...we need to take the formula from our past three wins and Do It Again...we can’t take a Walk On The Wild Side or we’ll be on a Bridge Over Troubled Water...gotta play like we’re just putting Another Brick In The Wall and we’ll be in the Driver’s Seat...hopefully I’m not being a Dream Weaver but we can do this...Let’s Go boys!

 

[NMK11]

Serious question, do we have 12 forwards up? I thought we were at 12 with McCann, so if he's not playing have they called someone up or are we going to see 7 D again?

we could see Riikola given a go as a forward on L4 as we saw in practice...one way to get him into a game I guess...

I dont think we have anyone extra. I could see them calling up Agozzino again but not sure on the roster limitation rules. Yes another reason how Rutherford is putting this team in a bind by having 9 D-men on the roster

 

[ColePens]

Just keep winning. Next man up. Next shift. Let's go!

You should cash out and leave the casino after a big win like that

Speaking of that...not only important to keep getting these points while having these injuries but would be huge for us going forward if our bottom 6 guys kept scoring. Giving us that option to use them in trades and them actually being assets(besides Lafferty...hes going nowhere). If we could end up adding ZAR as a piece in a solid trade because of this ? Yeah that's big.

 

[Darren McCord]

i wouldn't be surprise to see 7 dmen with riikola in tonight.

I think we'd already have had someone dump a Tweet in here if anyone was called up.

ya which is why i think he will be in

[EightyOne]

Hmm. So the first ever actual Pens Day to Day injury? Lol

 

[ownal]

1. Sid shut down their top line.
2. Take no penalties
3. Secondary scoring from the 3rd/4th line

 

[Pancakes]

I really wish this nonsense would stop. No team is gameplanning on Jared McCann being in the lineup or not. It's not an advantage to hide that information from them.

If you don't want to disclose what an injury is that's fine and I agree with that but just say if a guy is playing or not ahead of time.

 

[Andy99]

If he rolls 7 D with Riikola subbing in for JJ and Guds scratched, we'll know just how much Sullivan hates playing $7.25 million worth of D men on our team...lol...

Not saying anything...is saying all we need to know. Someone would have been called up. Its gonna be 7dmen

He's gonna do it. Im just curious if any of the role players will score tonight...that pitched in last game. Lafferty is the one we want to keep that up...having the highest ceiling...but I also want Simon/ZAR to raise trade value. Still dont feel they will be apart of our future once our top prospects are ready.
