Imagine taking your fam to see the Pens for under 30 bucks a ticket once a year.
I could handle being a hockey fan in the States

Everything has a shelf life as we know for Crosby's RW. They change it up just due to not working for a spell, and that's okay. Your lineup is okay.
I'd rather see mine for a bit. See how it shook out.
If Rust hits his shelf life then put Hornqvist with Jake and Sid and put Rust with Simon and Bjugstad. Or put McCann with Jake and Sid and the. Put Rust with Malkin and Kessel. Or put Rust with McCann and Malkin and then move Kessel down with Simon and Bjugstad. No lineup should see ZAR playing line 2 LW when we are healthy

Jared McCann has as many short-handed goals for us as Brassard has in entirety at Colorado.
The more we go along, the more that trade has been brilliant.
I mean, ZAR did play well for a stretch when in that spot. I don't know why it's so hard to believe he can do that again. He's on pace for 15 goals and 32 points this year, pretty much all of which are at ES. I don't get why people like to take shots at him.
I don't think it's taking a shot at him to say he belongs in the bottom 6, even if he's a decent fill-in for that spot when we have injuries.I mean, ZAR did play well for a stretch when in that spot.

I really like what our lines are obviously going to morph in to with Geno back in. I like the look of McCann-Geno-Phil more than any line Geno has had this year aside from maybe Rust there, but that honestly feels like basically the same line on paper. And then you get Blueger on L4. Eventually hopefully with ZAR instead of Wilson.ZAR is an incredible player to play L4 and pop up in the lineup if needed for injury. I don't think there is a doubt there. The main issue is when he is stuck in that top 6 role. That is not best for him.
And just to be fair, Blueger is doing an admirable job filling in and doing his thing, but he's also best needed on L4. Cullen is dying a slow death and doing all he can do with guys like Wilson. He NEEDS some skill guys with him who can play defensive, too. Blueger and Cullen together are meant to be. I'd like to see Johnson get the nod over Wilson.
I digress.

“He’s sick,” said Matt Murray, who played with McCann in junior, with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. “I’ve known it for a long time. He was lighting up the OHL when we played together.
“I was excited when we traded for him. He’s a good friend of mine. I know how skilled he is. He’s showing it right now. He’s a really good goal-scorer. He’s doing such a good job for us.”
As Penguins gush, Jared McCann downplays his glorious goal
Hadn't thought about the Soo connection between Murray and McCann.
You missed his sarcasm.
Dude constantly rips Murray. If he's always sarcastic, ok - I didn't catch it. But again, its constant.
Also. Bjugstad has been very good, definitely deserves more than just 10 points in 26 games. He's created a lot of plays
If it makes you feel any better I am confused as well. I thought your reply was upping the game by adding your own level of sarcasm, but I may have overthought it. Or not!?Dude constantly rips Murray. If he's always sarcastic, ok - I didn't catch it. But again, its constant.
this, they will pay for it in the playoffs, esp when they go deeper! The amount of energy they have exerted just to stay a float should catch up, you would think! (i am not being negative, just realistic). They have to get secondary scoring from other lines because you know #87 will see the best centers to shut that line down. I really dont like what has transpired through the season, but i guess it is what it is.Crosby is starting to look tired. Hopefully they rest him before PO's
I think this was Florida’s main complaint about him.
Even 10 in 26 is good for me given what that line is doing defensively.
dont blame him for that. #44 stuck his stick and shot changed direction. It is almost as if he shouldn't have done that- That 2nd goal was a shot that Murray HAS to save.
- High glove, where have I seen that before?
- Murray just can't close out a period without letting in a goal.
+ Other than that Murray played a great game, but again he shouldn't have let in either goal.
