Pre-Game Talk: Pens at CBJ, Game 3. Does anything matter?

[ColePens]

Anyway, here's the Jackets lineup from the morning skate:

Jenner-Johansen-Skille
Calvert-Dubinsky-Atkinson
Foligno-Anisimov-Umberger
MacKenzie-Letestu-Comeau

Prout-Johnson
Murray-Wizniewski
Nikitib-Savard

I don't think he will, but if Horton comes back and plays with Johansen and Jenner, we're royally boned.

Umm... their line up looks ****ing good! Lol. If they had ONE star, they'd be solid.

Going to be interesting to see how crazy Lumbus goes for everything Dubi does tonight, and how much fire that adds to the game. Can't wait until we see the response from....

Wait a minute...


Some thoughts on turning this around:
- Using the flying V on the power play
- new 2nd line of Conner, Geno, Adams, and Pyatt paired with one defenseman
- that one D man is Mark Eaton, brought back yet again to play a generically ineffective game
- we move to a innovative 2-1-2 system where Letang plays midfield/ice
- Bylsma stops eating ice cream with chicks from columbus, cancels the air bylsma loafer (for kids who want to promote pointless grinders), and burns a life-size cardboard cutout of himself in the locker room to do away with distractions
- 2x more cross ice passes
- GOC wakes up today, and the pain.....is gone. Adams gives up his place on the team to join the coaching staff and draws up the perfect teamwork play.
- something about a shrinking sphincter

ive seen at least half of these work before.

I don't think I'm alone in believing this, but if Columbus had Horton healthy on the top line, we'd lose this series. Combination of being more desperate, being built for the playoffs and actually giving a damn.

Don't misunderstand. I'm a huge BB fan, and have always thought him to be gritty, but they seem to want him the team to be a grinders. That's my issue.

Still funny and sad. The injury prone team that lacks size and physicality is a grinding team, God help them.

Imagine Horton on the top line instead of Jack ****ing Skille

But you can tell Lumbus wants it bad. And like you said they're built for the playoffs.

I'll guess 4-2 CBJ, no empty net goal either.

Columbus will start just after 7 PM EST. Not sure about the Pens.

Thanks mate! Going to be the first game od this playoffs I am being able to see and hopefully Bylsma retires before the game and is minions gets claimed on waivers.

Lol! How come you can't be both?

That should be enough for Mario to get him gone...won't happen though.
