Dan, why u hate Bort?

 

[66-30-33]

I hope to sit in the pressbox.....

 

[Hydro]

Thought forsure the only positive from Orpik being out would be that Bort would be back in and hopefully prove he's better than Engo. Guess not.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I like Dumoulin a lot.

 

[ByeBye]

Dan, why u hate Bort?

It seems to become one of these Jeffrey situations. They apparently have no problem playing just about anyone over Bort. Not that I think Jeffrey and Bort are comparable in terms of ability or value or that Dumoulin doesn't deserve to be called up but seriously. He's going to get waived.

Did Bortuzzo punch Bylsma's kids or something?

Who?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

So help me if Bortuzzo is the one sitting in the press box.

 

[IcedCapp]

maybe it'll be Despres who sits, you never know

Who does Bylsma dislike more, that is the question.

Here's your answer . . .

Thought forsure the only positive from Orpik being out would be that Bort would be back in and hopefully prove he's better than Engo. Guess not.

Last thing this coach wants is for his love of Engo to be exposed for the farce it already is . . . well, exposed even more than it already has been in the playoffs and extended regular season action.

 

[Shrimper]

If he is playing tomorrow then this is clearly to replace Orpik, yes?

 

[Ugene Magic]

I'd imagine there will be a lot shuffling for awhile. Getting Dumoulin up for his cup of coffee to see where he's at can't hurt. They already know what they have in Bortuzzo.

 

[Fordy]

Maybe Engo is going to forward for Neal.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Nothing surprises me now with Bylsma. Absolutely nothing. Engelland on the PP was pretty much the last straw of believability concerning his decisions.

I hate Engo playing over Bort more than I do Dupes with Sid. At least Dupes deserves to be on the team, Engo has no place (as a defenseman, at the very least).

 

[Sutter16]

Good. Really excited to see what he can bring. Big piece of Staal trade

 

[mpp9]

Maybe they wanna use this as an opportunity to see what they have in him. Unlikely we'll ever have to reach this far into our depth chart again this season.

Bort sitting is hilarious, for sure.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Maybe Engo is going to forward for Neal.

That's also a possibility. As we all know, Engo is our all-position, all-situation MVP.

They do?

They already know that Borts has holes in his game that may or may not be rectified with more regular season experience so maybe he can make a positive contribution in the playoffs, so best to let him watch from the press box. Or, there's no way he EVER could make the type of contribution in the playoffs that Engo makes, ergo no need to give him the experience a la Despres the previous two years?

Yes they do, he's a bench warmer and they know it. Not as good as Despres, because he's fat and takes up more butt space.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Maybe Engo is going to forward for Neal.

that would make sense. Engo plays 4th line F, both Bort and Dumo play D.

Kunitz - Crosby - Dupuis
Jussi - Sutter - Megna
Conner/Scrabbles - Vitale - Kobasew
Engelland - Sill - Adams

Maatta - Letang
Despres - Niskanen
Dumoulin - Bortuzzo

 

[Fordy]

Also likely that that twitter just doesn't know what they're talking about and he's the 7D.

In what alternate Penguins universe do you reside?
