GDT: Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins | April 2nd 7:30 | Going for 16 straight

[Waffle Fries]

22? Is my math wrong or shouldn't there be 23?

It's 22. The 23 man roster includes everyone listed in the lines, Fleury, Vokoun and Sid. Martin and Letang are on IR. For whatever reason, they haven't put Sid there yet.

i thought Iginla and Neal were going to switch? no dice?

Dave Molinari ‏@MolinariPG 25s
Vokoun is the first goalie off the ice.

Sounds like he's starting

 

[nTsplnk*]

Really hope Iginla stays at right wing.

Right, I forgot about Sid's roster spot.

Not all that surprising about Vokoun starting. He's got an incredible streak going and I figured they'd want to start Fleury against the Rangers tomorrow.

I was bored the other day and made this.

I'm sort of expecting a shutout tonight. 3-0, Pittsburgh, goals from Niskanen, Iginla and Dupuis.

Would someone please "Nancy Karrigan" Tanner Glass? I cannot face another game where he plays while much better options are scratched.

What does he bring?

Great defense? no! he's a wing with a -6
Great offense? no! zero points in 36 games. Not even a 2nd assist to his name.
Good at faceoffs for PK? Not at all.

He's a terrible 5v5 player with zero offense....and he plays offense!

at Pittsburgh reporters saying there was a good possibility he'd be discharged today. He's already home kicking back with an Ensure.

They're on top of things.

Miller will get the start tonight in Pittsburgh vs. Vokoun -- ^KS

And that answers that.

The media should just stop reporting crap and wait until the team makes anything available to them

 

[Coach Travis]

So a 16th win would put us alone in 2nd for most straight wins. Does anyone else think it's crazy that the longest current streak is only 17? With all those great Habs teams, the Oilers in the 80s, the Red Wings in the 90s... You'd think one of them would have had 20+ straight wins.

This has been a great run but somehow it doesn't quite feel "historic".

 

[Shockmaster]

To be fair, there were some bigger names outside of Pittsburgh reporting that too.

No alternate jerseys tonight!

"The Penguins will not wear their blue alternate uniforms Tuesday night, scrapping their original plan.

Crosby has been injured twice — including the broken jaw and his concussion on New Year's Day 2011 — in those blue uniforms. Early this season, center Evgeni Malkin was also injured in those uniforms.

The decision to scrap the blue threads was not made by players."

woah. haha. Well, if there's one thing I've learned about athletes it's this: truth doesn't matter, belief does. If the players believe these sweaters are bad luck, it's better to not wear them.

Haha good stuff.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Haha that's hilarious they don't want to wear the blues.

 

[Shrimper]

They were going to wear the blues for Autism awareness day. Will wait until the game to see if they're still not wearing them.
