it might be a challenge just getting guys there. this seems like... a late development. already after noon and they haven't even announced recalls
Is the Roster freeze in effect yet?
How the **** is Mitchell not getting at least a 1 game suspension (afaik he got nothing)? Ya, nobody got hurt (except maybe the official's arm) by him swinging a helmet at Letang but for ****'s sake the NHL needs to send a message that this isn't ok behavior. I've seen borderline high hits result in multi-day suspensions -- this seems to be at least as bad as that...?
Anyone wanna take a wild guess at the lines?
Guess Gudbranson didn't know he was going up against Downie and the mumps. Wonder if he's going to be tested.
The Pens report says(Via MJ)...
*Goalie Jeff Zatkoff will be the only player recalled from WBS
*Pens will dress 11 forwards and 7 defensemen
*One of the defenseman will play up at forward (won't be Letang or Scuderi
I asked jokingly before why we don't just play DP at forward, I'd guess that's what we'll see tonight. Or Despres will literally kill someone on a forecheck.
Kunitz-Crosby-Horny
Pouliot-Malkin-Comeau
Spaling-Sutter-Downie
???
i wonder which d is going in as a forward. probably pouliot. johnston knows him best and besides Letang he is probably the most offense minded d the pens have right?

Pens going with 7 D tonight. Chorney likely to play some at forward. Zatkoff will be here for faceoff.
