GDT: | Game #LXX | Pens vs Avs | 1300hrs EST | Battle of Cole Harbour

[Gurglesons]

Good, That helps negate our loss of Zucker.

If Mackinnon, Makar and Toews don't play, we MIGHT have a chance.

I think we win. We always do well against the young “upcoming contenders”

Yes our 41-18-10 team is utterly f***ed against all strong opponents by default.

Don't the Rangers fit the description, and haven't they humiliated us twice in a five day period?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

In these situations there are usually a couple possible outcomes. If they haven't sent him back to Pitt it is either because he is unable to fly, or it is not that serious. Since Sullivan's statement is that the Pens medical staff is evaluating him and he isn't currently in a hospital somewhere, it doesn't sound that bad. But with how it looked, I I would be shocked if it wasn't a season ending injury.

They also could be waiting for inflammation to go down to do a proper series of scans and tests.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Angelo in over Zohorna.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Kadri is out today

Landeskog, Kadri, Girard and Byram.

We got obliterated by the Rags, the Canes owned us, as did FLA, Do you need even more evidence? Because if you do, you'll have the next three games to chew on.

 

[Ryder71]

Landeskog, Kadri, Girard and Byram.

You'll still win.

 

[Ryder71]

Angelo in over Zohorna.

I'd switch Heinen with ERod, other than that not bad I guess.

Why do you even follow the team if you relish in them losing so much?

Angelo in over Zohorna.

I'm guessing that's due to a LW/RW thing, but I'd much rather have Heinen on RW and play Zohorna. Or maybe they just want to get Angelo some in-game action to keep him a bit sharper.

That top-9 is exactly what I wanted to see so I can't complain too much.

I love the team, I'm just a realist. I simply won't let myself believe in fables and fairy tales.

Your definition of realism is really weird. We're 7th in points % in the NHL, but you talk about the team like we're a bottom feeder.

Well, the Av's are what 1st or 2hd in points? We're not a bottom feeder, far from it, but are we a legit contender? The standings suggest we are, but after playing CAR, NYR and FLA I mean we're kinda not. lol

Pens played FLA and CAR close though?

Rakell - 3 EVSG in 6 GP
ZAR/Zimon - 4 EVSG in 107 GP

Close don't count though, sorry.

 

[Andy99]

Lol…I told people in the PGT for Minny game that Sullivan would still say Zucker was being evaluated the next day he spoke…it’s his MO…

also F Sullivan for keeping Rust on L1…I hate Carter on L2…he shouldn’t be playing those minutes…he could have at least gone Heinen-Geno-Rakell if he didn’t want to move Rust down but there are other options…we need more scoring depth against this team, not less

Colorado is going to be missing Landeskog and Kadri today. I’d argue we have the deeper forward group.

 

[PensandCaps]

Close don't count though, sorry.

in a game like hockey close is good enough to win with some luck. Also, i doubt the pens were at full health in those games vs Florida and Carolina

We have played Florida really well this year. You should try to watch the games more closely.

We dumpstered Tampa twice. Does that make us a superior team then?

I agree we have trouble with NYR but we've very competitive with CAR and FLA. Kind of curious of what you're definition of a "contender" is? The truth is the playoffs start, the refs put the whistles away, it becomes a crap shoot.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Weird to say that the Canes "owned the Penguins" when the Penguins won one of those games and the other ended in an OT loss.

Why do the Penguins not beating the Golden Knights, Wild or Lightning not count?

When are we ever fully healthy? lol
