[Terrapin]

Please get up by 5 goals so Rig can take that knob wilsons head off

 

[KIRK]

Geno is IN!

I don't *want* to lose to anyone, but there are teams who if the Pens lost to I'd be upset for a couple of days, then move on. Then there are select teams who, if the Pens lose to, I've realized will annoy me all summer. The goonfest we're playing against right now is part of the latter.

I'd hate losing to (in order)

1). A Metro opponent
2). An Atlantic opponent
3). An Eastern Conf. team
4). A Western Conf. team

 

[Whale Mingo]

Bad news, I think we've scored our last goal and lose the series 4-1. Good news, I'm usually so wrong it isn't funny, just ask my bookie.

Tom Wilson, see you in hell.

 

[Trade]

LET US REMIND THESE F****** LOSERS THAT EVERY YEAR THEY TAKE AT LEAST ONE GAME BUT THEY NEVER TAKE THE SERIES!

LETS GO PENS!!!!!

Rusty with the first goal.

 

[Andy99]

Sheahan moved up to the 3rd line.

Brass to the 4th line.

I like it.

Looks like Sully was playing mind games during warmups...glad Sheary and Kessel are not together...still don’t like ZAR and Simon in the top 9 but the options are limited with Hags still out...

 

[Shrimper]

Just win Pittsburgh

 

[pistolpete11]

Huge game if we’re going to take this series...we need a win...
Come out strong and get a lead...

Waiting for this game to start is the hardest part!

Tom Petty posts will always get a like from be, BTW.

 

[mrwirez]

Any Hags status?

 

[Allie Kitsune]

We can't afford him being suspended.

Sacrifice ZAR to do it.

 

[ColePens]

Sheahan moved up to the 3rd line.

Brass to the 4th line.

I like it.

Give Brass extra minutes on G's wing.

 

[Beau Knows]

Why does the NHL let NBC have these games start so late? 7:38, come on, that's when the puck should drop.

 

[Bingo71]

Do not engage Wilson. Do not engage Wilson. Do not engage Wilson.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

ZAR better reward this chance he’s getting.

 

[DegenX]

Any Hags status?

Check the injury thread.

 

[KIRK]

Sheahan moved up to the 3rd line.

Brass to the 4th line.

I like it.

ZAR, NOT Sheary, with Sheahan and Phil also makes sense. This is his chance too, because if he doesn't cut it, he's done once Hags is ready.

I do wonder, with Sheary on L4, if this is a put up or shut up game for him.

BTW, it's also a hell of a moment for Simon. He's the other guy who needs to show something, because I could see HGR when Hags comes back.

I guess, as I think about it, Simon, ZAR, and Sheary all are on the 'put up or shut up' watch list.

 

[ColePens]

Crowd is hooooooot. I like.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Keith Jones just said "Wilson continues to be a story, good for him...."

ughhhhhhhh shut up

Good news is whatever he predicts...the opposite happens

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Jimmerson~

 

[Andy99]

Tom Petty posts will always get a like from be, BTW.

We better not back down tonight then....we’re running down a dream...

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Crowd is hooooooot. I like.

You knew after all the controversy that they would be fairly rabid.

 

[KIRK]

Give Brass extra minutes on G's wing.

I really LOVE that. Especially when there's a faceoff.

But, that would be really inspired bench management, and much as we love Sully, I'm not sure that is his style.

BTW, kudos to Sully starting Geno. I suspect it's because of who the Caps are starting, but still, Geno more often than not feeds off that type of show of trust.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I still love your idea of coming out to start with a trap.

 

[Bingo71]

Keith Jones just said "Wilson continues to be a story, good for him...."

ughhhhhhhh shut up

I totally understand what he is saying though.

That’s Wilson’s role as an agitator and he is playing that role masterfully so far in this series.

It’s up to the Pens now to ignore him and ignore l the other goonery and just put pucks in the net.

 

[BHD]

Not shocked to see Dumo playing. Even if he isn't 100% (and he's definitely not), he's better than any other guy they have.

Geno, though... Let's go.
