The biggest storyline for me tonight is whether Crosby can build on what he did last game. I don't want to see him going back to being on the perimeter and forcing passes.

 

[Malkin112*]

Is Malkin injured???

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

It's an act of solitude. Geno won't dress until he's put on the right half-wall on the PP and Kessel is moved to his line.

 

[ColePens]

Pens vs. Dallas

Discuss til GDT is up

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Good test tonight. Benn seems like he's in midseason form. Great game to see if we're moving towards steadying the ship or still struggling.

 

[metalan2]

Think we lose like 4-1 or 3-0 again. I hope it happens until we change things. We have looked OK in our two wins besides Ottawa, bordering on bad at times, and good vs Ottawa.

I honestly want them to lose before it's too late to change things this season.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Hmmmm...

Fehr-Malkin-Sprong.

 

[ColePens]

How did I not see this thread?

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Duper's back!

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

 

[Empoleon8771]

Wow that's really fast. Wasn't he like 2 weeks from returning?

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Here comes Dupuis to save the day...?

 

[Saints11]

Question, where do you start Duper?

A. LW with Sid and Kessel,
B. LW with Geno and Hornqvist,
C. RW with Bonino and Plots,
D. LW with Bonino and Sprong,
E. Other

 

[Waffle Fries]

Wow that's really fast. Wasn't he like 2 weeks from returning?

Yes... which is slightly concerning. He doesn't need to be rushing anything.

 

[Malkin112*]

I have bad feeling about this

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Yes... which is slightly concerning. He doesn't need to be rushing anything.

If there's anything we've learned over the past year, it's that Dupuis is completely rational when it comes to his health and will evaluate the situation from 50 different angles before making the choice to return to the ice.

Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, but given the circumstances and player involved, does anyone else read that as "Dupuis has decided he's healthy enough to play tonight"?

 

[Waffle Fries]

If there's anything we've learned over the past year, it's that Dupuis is completely rational when it comes to his health and will evaluate the situation from 50 different angles before making the choice to return to the ice.

So true. Hopefully everything is fine. I'll still be nervous every time he's hit though.

 

[Saints11]

Probably doctor's said nothing could be different in two weeks or a week from conditions today.

This is what I would like to see

Dupuis-Crosby-Kessel
Perron-Malkin-Hornqvist
Kunitz-BONINO-Sprong
Plotnikov-Cullen-Rust


How i typed Sutter is beyond me. Wow.

 

[Fordy]

can't wait for the return of kcd

 

[etm124]

This is what I would like to see
Kunitz-Sutter-Sprong

Bold move, Cotton.

 

[Shady Machine]

This is what I would like to see

Dupuis-Crosby-Kessel
Perron-Malkin-Hornqvist
Kunitz-Sutter-Sprong
Plotnikov-Cullen-Rust

Bonino for Sutter?

 

[tbassett]

Wow surprised about Dupuis playing. Hmm, hopefully he plays well and can get Kunitz knocked down to the third/fourth line at some point down the road. Anything is an upgrade of Kunitz at this point.
