I think he is officially a left shot Brian Rust who can play center too. That is so sticky sweet.If McCann just randomly became a defensively conscious top six winger option that’d be pretty unreal.

My issue going forward is, Crosby and Jake were just the same as last year into the playoffs, they need more from everyone else.
Yes but even more so right now with Phil playing like ass.
More like some of the fans are.

He was due for a good decision.Very good decision from Sully that shouldnt go unnoticed
So, replace the current bottom pair with our injured top pair. How does Maatta get back into the lineup when he’s healthy? It’s early, but it looks like Gudbranson will be a guy we can rely on for the bottom pair.
I would be pleasantly surprised if JJ has found his niche as Schultz’s new Ian Cole.
Sully was the star of the game.
Decides to start Murray who plays fantastic.
Moves Mccann up to Sid's line which worked great.
Great job by Sully and the Pens.
Any of you twitter folks have a shot map for the game yet?
I still trust Maatta way more than JJ but it would be a refreshing problem given how much of a dumpster fire everybody has been.
Ever listen to Barnaby on SiriusXM?
He said the day of the Florida deal, "McMann is the key to the deal. He's gonna be a real good player."
He also liked the Gudbranson deal for us. I don't think he was looking long term, and didn't have a great deal to say on it, but said, "I like the deal for the Pens. Pittsburgh needed a depth dmen, and they got one."
Maatta's time back in this year will probably be due to an injury to one of the D. He is #7 if we continue to dominate play or just get wins. Not necessarily the worst of the 4, but more so if it ain't broke don't fix itSo, replace the current bottom pair with our injured top pair.

So if no Tang action yet Dumo comes back... does he pair with Riikola?Given recent play it should be..
Dumo - Letang
Maatta - Schultz
Pettersson- Gudbranson
Correct.He's usually on at like the 3-5 range (EST), right? I rarely get that one. I did hear his take on Gudbranson though and saying he liked it.
I too am a huge Riikola fan. I hope he gets a solid spot next season, but I don't see it without shipping out d men.I wish we could give Riikola a spot, man. I think he's gonna be a real solid player, but we keep acquiring these dummies that take up spots. He needs minutes to grow into his role and finish rounding out his game.

Tang OM Ruh, NO. Dumo is at least skating. So Trot is out but who goes where with whom?I have very little faith that Letang, Dumo, and Maatta will all be back without anyone else getting hurt. So cross that bridge if we ever get there.
So Dumo may be coming back within the next 1-2 weeks (maybe, who knows really). If so what are the D pairing then?
Tang isn't even skating yet so... he won't be back yet since it's probably back / neck related.
Ruh and OM are out probably for the year.
