See, we're back on the right side of the win column, this is why you shouldn't have gotten so mad over the Dallas loss! You can't win all of 'em! This team is still elite. Top of the East, natch

I'll have a double.

+Glass and Engelland on the bottom line. I really hope DB uses Glass-Vitale-Engelland
+Crosby got 2 points
+Gibbons potentially a solution on our top line for this year
+Maatta and Niskanen
+Fleury

-JMN looked like crap
-Orpik sucks
-Orpik sucking brought Martin down
-We should have scored more

The only line DB should be allowed to tinker with is Geno's right now.
Gibbons or Megna should be playing with Sid. Engo plugged into the 4th line. No Kobasew or Ebbett out west please and i think we got a chance.

The rest of it is par for the course, but the highlighted part is (a) predictable, (b) disconcerting, and (c) inevitable in terms of one of the things that will be this team's undoing in the playoffs.

Curiously, that is the only line with which he will NOT tinker right now.

Well we won. Crosby played well. Fleury got the shutout. I don't know if anyone played bad (other than Orpik) but the only other player I was impressed by tonight was Megna. Letang definitely looked better tonight and I like forward Engelland.

The third period was really sloppy though.

JMN looked like terribad. If we got scored on, then it would have definitely been against that line. The only thing that line did was win 11 of 13 faceoffs.

+ Glass and Pyatt were both good tonight. Engelland too in limited ice time.
+ MAF
+ Megna has speed to burn, looked good tonight.
+ Sid
+ Letang, Scuderi, Niskanen were all really solid.

= Gibbons looked good with the puck on his stick in the offensive zone, but he definitely needs to get stronger. I like the skill though.

- Martin had a rare off-night.

Not much to this one. The Sabres are brutal and we executed well.

Uninspired effort, Pens didn't care.

I do like the third line however. I'm starting to see some hope for the team.

I'll take this time finally managing to not blow a shutout, even if it is only against Buffalo.

And yes, yes, I know, regular season, doesn't matter, they'll get destroyed by Boston once the playoffs come around. Same old song and dance.

The hope is that we stay healthy and Kobasew and Ebbett never see a lick of ice time again. For me anyway.

ETA: When Vitale/Bennett return. You healthy scratch Engo and keep the better of Gibbons or Megna up.

Lol. Always enjoyable to see posters watch different games. I didn't even see the game tonight, so I'm not sure who to believe.

Ha...seriously most of you don't deserve to see the pens win another cup. If/when they do, you'll be back to being giddy little school girls acting like you never complained non stop about every shift of every regular season game.

Pens have their problems . Not winning since 09 with the two best players in the world, we have definitely reached must win territory . But it amazes me how some of you torture yourselves watching the worst team in the league play every night. Your favorite part of game days are when the line combos are announced, so you can do what you do best. It's pretty funny
