[BrannigansLaw]

Win please.

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

Would like to see Leivo in for this one. Need some more offence.

 

[Dog]

If we get badly outshot by them no way we will win.

Don't tell Freddie.

 

[Kiwi]

Hopefully the boys put in a better effort than yesterday and give Andersen a lot more help

Start on time and be prepared to work and we'll be O.K.

 

[MJ65]

Is it good enough

 

[Daisy Jane]

generally speaking when we don't play consistently or have practice we tend to be more flat. this hans't changed since last year so i think they'll be fine.

Is it good enough

no
shoulda been at least 2.

Who's in net for Pitt these days? Murray still injured?

Tristan Jarry is in net for them, and Frankie Corrado is in the lineup with Schultz injured.

Interesting, thanks!

 

[thewave]

No Polak please.

 

[MJ65]

no shoulda been at least 2.

I agree it's not enough

 

[MJ65]

I have to repeat myself, I am hoping a better effort and a quick response against the Penguins

 

[MapleLeafistan]

They tend to show up in big games. Expecting a surprising win.

 

[MJ65]

No Polak please.

We don't have many choices Wave and I don't think if the team is ready to promote Dermott as yet

 

[Kiwi]

We don't have many choices Wave and I don't think if the team is ready to promote Dermott as yet

Then play Carrick

The Penguins live on there speed and quickness, thats not exactly in Polak's wheelhouse

 

[Warden of the North]

There is a 100% chance Corrado scores, probably assisted by Hunwick and Kessel

 

[firstemperor]

Would have been nicer if we played them earlier on in the year when they looked legitimately terrible but hoping for a win on Saturday. Have missed the first period or two the last 2 Saturdays but plan to catch this game in full

 

[Raging Bull]

Is it good enough

Yay, takes a good player out of there lineup giving our divisional rival a better chance to win.

 

[Damisoph]

Time to head to Pitt and steal a couple points. GLG

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am not worried about Montreal. Why would you? I am only worried about 1 team, that's the Lightning.

 

[PromisedLand]

Away game - check

Against potent offense - check

Crosby, Malkin, Kessel - check

No last change - check

____________________________

Pens will be targeting Bozak line - yup

Hyman still no offense - yup

Nylander on the 4th line - yup

Polak in the lineup - yup

Leivo pressbox - yup

Babcock to get away from status quo -

Corrado with the revenge hatty

 

[1specter]

There is a 100% chance Corrado scores, probably assisted by Hunwick and Kessel

Earlier this season there was a Greg McKegg goal that was assisted by Hunwick and Kessel I believe
