I lost my slapping glove, how am I supposed to provoke him in a duel?

Use a hockey stick instead

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Edit: Nice rack... of a GDT, Clare!

I will laugh when fans come into the GDT and say "The Pens better want revenge for Montreal's win!" I doubt this team gives two ****s if they get beat in a regular season game like that. It happens. There is no bad blood over it. They'll say the right things but no action.

This will be a fun game because the Pens struggle with very structured teams who also play fast and transition.

Habs trying to stop those without lower bowl seats from going down to the glass unless you have a kid with you, another reason to hate these

 

[Clare2904]

I have, of course, managed to sneak down

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Just saw that Price won’t be starting for the Habs...that’s good news. Right?

 

[KIRK]

Being in the vicinity doesn’t equate guilt. That’s pretty silly.

Rust is suppose to protect the high slot on that play and he let his man coast right in and score, but because Letang was there you claim it’s his fault?

Anyone who doesn’t think Letang has been playing well the first three games of the season needs a hockey 101 refresher.

Now, as for those pimping Simon's greatness . . .

Is rikkola playing?

Based on yesterday's practice, it will be Maatta-Riikola with Oleksiak on the bench.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Sorry. It's Oct. and it's always a little creepy in Oct.

I suggest you wear a sweatshirt.

 

[Empoleon8771]

KIRK is Sullivan confirmed.

KIRK is Sullivan confirmed.

Brass at RW? Sully is drunk

They move Rust to LW only to move Brassard to RW. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't like that 3rd line that much and don't think Sheahan has warranted getting a promotion in the lineup.

[Fordy]

that’s shocking. to say the absolute least

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Sully goes with weird lines instead of giving Sprong a shot.

 

[Peat]

Technically Brassard is LW and Guentzel RW... technicallly.

Now, as for those pimping Simon's greatness . . .

Ever play “to the pain”...

... with a voodoo doll?

 

[Tom Hanks]

Move over Sid it’s Cullen and the kids.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Technically Brassard is LW and Guentzel RW... technicallly.

To be honest, Guentzel makes more sense on RW than on LW to me. He's more of a goal scorer than anything else and is a converted center, which likely means he has more position flexibility than if he'd be a natural LWer.

Brass at RW? Sully is drunk

It's not what I would do but let's see how that line gels tonight if it indeed is how they are configured. I'm not a real fan of playing players out of their preferred position.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Move over Sid it’s Cullen and the kids.

*Dad and the kids

That just sounds better.

 

[KIRK]

Technically Brassard is LW and Guentzel RW... technicallly.

I am NOT surprised that he went there. I HOPE that Brass is the RW and Jake is the LW.

I expected that HMK abomination to remain in place, but I suspect it's on borrowed time now (once Horny went off L1, everything else became fair game).

Honestly, if HMK craps the bed early tonight, I'd expect a Kessel and Horny flip.

To be honest, Guentzel makes more sense on RW than on LW to me. He's more of a goal scorer than anything else and is a converted center, which likely means he has more position flexibility than if he'd be a natural LWer.

Fair points. Just it's not going to make anyone go "Oh, I guess those lines aren't a surprise after all".

Me, I like the first line. The rest... vintage Sully. Which probably means a lot of us will be eating crow in a little.

Yeah, I don't like the 3rd line. Then again, I'm not sure I like Sheahan as my 3C on this team either, so it may be a lose-lose situation regardless of what you run with there.
