Looks like Schultz is back this weekend.
Pearson or ZAR getting scratched, hopefully its Pearson.
Ruh getting the nod over Rik.
It exists in my garage. And yours. And everyone's...because it is a garage league.

The Pearson-Hagelin trade is another woefully bad move by JR this season. Hagelin isn't a great player by any means, but if you're going to have that spot be filled by someone who isn't going to put up a ton of points, at least he has a tangible value, his speed. He also kills penalties and was still putting up strong advanced metrics.
Now you're saddled with a guy with two more years at $3.75 million who can't even stay in the lineup over Garrett Wilson, whereas Hagelin is a UFA at the end of the year, and if they wanted to move on, they could have.
I can't argue with keeping Ruh in. I hate the Schultz Johnson pair. I hope they prove me wrong.
I'm glad Teddy is still in but I can't justify sitting ZAR or Pearson for Wilson. A struggling Pearson and ZAR are better players. I don't think Wilson has been bad, but this is clearly some kind of coaching mancrush. That said, if a 4th line wing is my only complaint and Teddy is staying in, I'll take it.
Geno saying Raffl dove makes him sound like a huge *******. I'm surprised the Penguins don't have PR people who would step in.
Sitting Riikola for Johnson is just insane.
Sitting a proven Decent top 9 Forward in Pearson for AHL trash like Wilson is just....
Pearson probably deserves to sit, but unfortunately Wilson has a guaranteed spot now.
Pearson Cullen ZAR would make for a pretty damn good fourth line.
It’s frightening that Wilson probably won’t be taken out of the lineup.
He may be slumping right now, but I like the chances of a former champion that’s shown a goal scoring touch and nice playmaking, over a rock handed guy with one career goal.

@KIRK has been telling everyone this would happen for a while now ...
Johnson-Schultz is probably the most effective pair you can use JJ on if he is actually playing, so I'm actually fine with that pair. I'm just a little surprised that they're scratching Riikola for Ruhwedel, I know Ruhwedel was really good last game, but Riikola has been playing well recently.
I'm also not a fan of healthy scratching Pearson, you need to move him ASAP if he's falling out of the lineup. You don't want to be stuck with that contract if he's ending up in healthy scratch territory.

Get used to it. The Pens coaches and FO like his physicality and PK ability. Especially with Maatta, one of our stalwarts on the PK, out of the lineup we will be dressing JMFJ regularly.Jack Johnson in over Juuso Riikola brings me an irrationally high amount of anger
