Throw everything we've got at em.
If it's not enough, then so be it but no more excuses for the 5on5 play, the PP, whatever.
Everything and everyone has to be sharp to get by Tampa.

I really hope Murray gets the SO so the MAF talk can stop. It getting annoying.

If we lose i think we will se MAF in game 3. No matter if its Murrays fault or not.

 

[Penguins23]

Where did you get your information that Kunitz is not in the lineup? I wish he would have been suspended but he wasn't so he will play.

Those were the lines in practice yesterday, but I agree Kunitz is hockey herpes; he's going to be there.

I agree that we will see MAF in game 3 if we lose but I don't think MM needs a SO. A win in PO is as valuable (to a goalie) as a SO in regular season, it would be great for MM to post a SO but (obviously) a win is more important.

I am really terrified about losing the game tonight as I feel it will be like the Bruins series a few years ago

I am remaining optimistic-ish....and it is not over until it is over but I just fret very easily!

"There were only two players missing from practice: forwards Chris Kunitz and Tom Kuhnhackl. Both players were given maintenance days, according to Sullivan. "


I don't see where it says Kunitz won't play...

 

[Ugene Magic]

The Pens wake up and take this one. They've been nothing but resilient for the last few months.

LGP!

 

[Giskard]

Please win

 

[Deport Ogie]

The playoffs are long, everyone gets a stinker. Nobody gets two stinkers in a row.

Let's go all Daenerys Targaryan and burn that mother down.

 

[PensandCaps]

This lineup would be sooo much better, but kunitz.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I don't like Malkin with Hornqvist though.. they just don't work together. Id personally rather see

Rust - Crosby - Hornqvist
Bennett - Malkin - Sundqvist
Hagelin - Bonino - Kessel
Fehr - Cullen - Sheary

Also.. how long is Bennett really going to last, honestly? I give him a period.. maybe 2

ugh. so Kunitz will be there.

 

[wgknestrick]

This is a must, must win game. You aren't in trouble until you lose 2 in a row.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Bennett? Sigh.

 

[WayneSid9987]

This is a must, must win game. You aren't in trouble until you lose 2 in a row.

I like Bowman's "you're never in trouble until you lose at home" mantra more.
It wouldn't be a death sentence if they lost tonight but it'd be close to it.

 

[dr robbie]

Bring your A game. Let's Go Pens!

 

[ColePens]

Must win. Let's just do it. Win the damn game.

 

[YeeYee]

We already lost at home

 

[High Flying Birds]

I don't think it's any more possible to play worse than we did last game. So there is that. Tampa is good but they're not invincible. It's time for the stars to step up though. Sully has to get them going no matter what or this series will be a short one. You don't win a Stanley Cup with just your depth.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Come on boys, get it done

Let's Go Pens!!!!

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

So BB in the lineup? So basically we gonna be down a forward by what the 2nd period?

 

[Artie Party]

I don't even remember Beau being cleared to play yet so i doubt he is playing on that line. I would still take him at 75% over Kunitz or Fehr though to play with Geno but that's still not saying much.

Yes for sure but problem is what are the chances he can play the hole game?

Oh well, I guess if he gets hurt it's not a bad thing, double shift Sid and Geno
