I think you should give ray the start. Seen too many times the hot goalie gets the first start and then the second in back to back games only to blow the second.

Ma$e is the number 1, let him get both wins tonight and Friday :)

I notice scum bag is back in the line up, our 3rd line should give he and Shrek fits. Little worried about them putting. Sids line vs Vinnys, but let's hope Brayden can get back under the little lady's skin.

Pens and Jets, two games I would love them to win.

Downie/Couts/Read needs to be on Malkin all night long. One Malkin gets frustrated when hit and Downie will do that relentlessly, plus Couts is doing a tremendous job this year limiting opposition chances.

Not sure if you try to line up Vinny or G's line with Crosby. This game maybe won or loss on the other lines.

After last night, I want G against Crosby. He has the fire and that line was very solid against the Senators and was really controlling play. If Giroux needed motivation, playing against Crosby is motivation enough.

Then the Flyers 2nd & 4th lines will be huge. Fortunately our 2nd line has a 7 goal scorer on it.

Hopefully Giroux's line plays against Crosby. Lecavalier's line is atrocious defensively and Crosby would have a field day.

In Pitts, they will get Sid out vs Vinny every chance they get. Ayden needs to rough him up a bit and try and get him rattled as that will be the biggest mismatch of the game !

we need G and hes linemates the control the play. Coots line to shut down malkin, and let Vinny do his thing on who ever the pens want to match up on him. I think 3 lines are playing pretty confidently and the 4th line is doing its job by eating some minutes and not screwing up.
