Post-Game Talk: Pens 5 - Sabres 0...well that was expected.

@ the Koltsov horseman. Good times.

Sadly, Sweaty Teddy doesn't look so sweaty anymore.

You laugh now, but when the Apocalypse comes, that thing's gonna be riding point.

I wonder what kaopectate's up to.

Trying to spread the word about the evils of Maryoh Lemchew, I'm sure.

As long as he is as quick and harmless in horse form as he was as a man.

Bort with Ehrhoff, didn't see that one coming.

Bortuzzo and Harrington were rotating with Ehrhoff. I was really hoping Despres would get bumped into the top-4.

Lines look the same as Saturday with Bennett working in. -DP @ROOTSPORTSPIT

Wonder what lines he's working in on?

Me too. I guess they want to keep as much continuity as possible. It's odd that Bort would get top 4 duty. For once, I want to see everyone healthy to see how they value each guy. Would Bort have stayed in the press box if Maatta didn't need surgery? Is Harry ever going to get a game?

If those are the pairs i wonder how MJ will split up the ice time, maybe Scuderi and Despres are your 2nd pairing and Ehrhoff and Bort are your bottom pairing.

Everyone gets a babysitter, and every pairing has a PMD and someone to be more defensive. Maatta is gone so Letang gets Martin as a safety net and they worked before, Bortuzzo/Harrington gets Ehrhoff and Scuderi still has Despres. The size/physicality is also spread out.

IIRC Martin-Ehrhoff has been getting the toughest usage so that should be interesting. Who knows how it will play out in a game or over a few games.

Fleury Sucks

Yes, until he gets a shutout and a hat trick he'll never be any good.

I like this team's killer instinct. They don't let off once they are up. We are really just a few tweaks away from being as complete as we have had here in a long time.

Our old bad habbits are slowly going away, finally. Figured 5 years of bad habbits would take longer to wash away?

I think we're getting carried away a little bit here. I fully expect a disappointing setback game or even a string of them relatively soon. And I'm curious about the board's reaction to it.

We already had a couple in a row and everyone was losing their minds.

It will take a while for all of it wash away, getting to something less ridiculous is probably helping on a basic level along with a lot of new players and Despres being sheltered from Bylsma.

Rage implosion.

Even when they were losing a few games in a row, they didn't look bad doing it. One loss in particular, I thought they were the superior team.
