Happy Birthday Philipp, nice gift

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

5-3 win. Nicky, beaglechuk x2, ovi, and mojo

Don't really understand Schmidt sitting games. He is clearly a top 6 defenseman on this team and makes things happen from the blue line.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

... also, he's on my fantasy team, so come on, Barry.

Concur. Carlson should be sitting. He's traded places with Orlov for serving pizzas, and at times reminds me of Green with 'could you be any lazier'-like play.

5-1 Caps. Nisk with 2G on PP

 

[ovikovy817]

Today, it's the perfect moment for 65 to score.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Play good please

 

[Corby78]

Everyone keeps talking about wanting to look like Pitt, but they have played some bad games this year. I know its about the playoffs, but just saying, its not like don't have their moments too.

 

[Corby78]

And who said Winnik should be TDL bait.

Thats a line that needs to start producing.

 

[twabby]

Nice hustle by the 4th line

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Get rid of Williams. Now.

 

[SimplySensational]

This is such a dumb call.

Yes, thats true. Several time I've been on Pens board and fans are not so happy with the way their team is playing right now. Not even close to playoffs succes. But still, its only regular season of course

 

[twabby]

Slick move by Sanford

 

[aonb]

beauty

 

[Hivemind]

What a move. :wow: Nilsson is quietly having a pretty darn great season as Buffalo's back-up

 

[ovikovy817]

Would be an awesome 1st goal

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Caps powerplay is 18th. LUL.

 

[Corby78]

Caps powerplay is 18th. LUL.

Starter out soooo cold. I have a feeling we will start to climb up as things even out.

what is your plan? never play chorney with a healthy lineup? if not, who are you scratching to make space for chorney if not Schmidt?

 

[twabby]

If Carlson is still nicked up I'd sit him. Otherwise just keep playing your best 6.

 

[Corby78]

Sounds like TJ won't be playing for a few more games, but he also sounded like it wouldn't be too long. Not very specific in his interview, but he didn't sound like he would be out for a prolonged time.

well. trotz isn't going to let his 7th d sit for 40 games.

Schmidt #6 and Chorney #7, no doubt.
So for this game, 0 questions to the coaching staff

But in a back to back against a young (fast?) team like Toronto, I'd like to see Orpik scratched. Not because he is not good but just Give him some rest.
With Nicky and Karl, he is (maybe) our best D so far.
