Pre-Game Talk: Pens seek to douse the Flames | Sat 3.00 EST

Kunitz is the god that god prays to.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Jokes on you. Kunitz IS the God you're praying to.

Ha, I pray to Tom Cruise and his almighty god Xenu!

But seriously, it's rather alarming that 3 different coaches put Kunitz with Crosby. I feel like when that happens, either all 3 are idiots or someone is pushing that, like perhaps Crosby or someone higher up on the team.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Kunitz is going to be with Sid until his retires.

Until Sid retires. Kunitz is never going anywhere. If Dupuis didn't have to retire due to possibility of dying, we'd still be seeing KCD.

 

[MrBurghundy]

They literally practiced with the right lines yesterday. I don't get it. It's infuriating.

I forget who here runs this Twitter account, but I found this hilarious.

[Nakawick]

we practiced with the new lines too, didn't we?

Either Mike Sullivan is a ****ing idiot, or these are just stock lines that are going to be changed up in the game. There's a reason we started playing well as soon as Kunitz and Hagelin were swapped.

I hope you are right.

"How do you fill the void left by kevin porter" sigh.

Any other team in this league place such a high priority on solely pk specialists and fourth liners?

 

[Sidney BrOSSby*]

Ha, I pray to Tom Cruise and his almighty god Xenu!

That's because you're an eagle.

 

[JakeNBake59]

seeing those lines thats crazy and depressing

why on earth practice the other day with those lines and revert back to that line. I really hope that its just been listed that way.
Watch that line have a multiple point night and Sully will say everything is fine

 

[IcedCapp]

before complaining too much, realize that it's a lineup posted by the Pens social media team, and not Mike Sullivan.

If that line opens, fire away, but not the first time the Pens twitter has ****ed up, if that's what happened.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

They have posted stock lines before and things have changed before the start of the game. They posted Scuderi playing before his late scratch/trade so let's see what happens in game before melting down

They probably just didn't want to hide Chris K's beautiful smile

yeah that's what I'm hoping.

Johnny hockey? Kind of stupid nick name is that? This the cringe worthy attempt at being like the nfl?

we are so used to this happening with Kunitz that its hard to stay positive

I like it. Its stupid, sure, but I like it. I basically see it as mocking Johnny Manziel, especially since Gaudreau is actually a good player.

that's deep

I miss the interactions between Dan Potash and Pascal Dupuis...

"Thanks Daaaaaaaaaaaaan."

 

[BHD]

Colby comes across really well as an analyst.

 

[Darth Vitale]

Absolutely. He was offered the rookie max by at least a few teams but chose Edmonton for the chance to play. I'm sure it didn't hurt that he's from Western Canada either. I remember being confused by the decisions but very much respecting it.

Yeah I remember that as well (#SchultzWatch), people talking, wondering where he would end up. His reasons for choosing EDM were pretty obvious. Didn't work out but not hard to understand.

Great just completely ignore what happened last game. Im sure that line-up will work better today.

I mean, WTF? We changed them last game for a reason.

It's all about tradition with the Penguins, bros. Respect the Tradition. â„¢

Hahah. It's because he's an F3, man. Clearly an F3. Only someone with F3 status gets on that first line with Sid no matter what. It's in the by-laws.

 

[plaidchuck]

Kunitz on line one confirmed.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Johnny hockey? Kind of stupid nick name is that? This the cringe worthy attempt at being like the nfl?

Oh it gets better.

He's got a franchise with that name, copyrighted the name and everything. Lol.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Just missed the projected lines...did they say if the Hag/Kuni swap will continue?

Kunitz on line one confirmed.

Oh. Ugh.

 

[Pancakes]

I miss the interactions between Dan Potash and Pascal Dupuis...

"Thanks Daaaaaaaaaaaaan."

I had a dream last night that Dupuis was playing. My brain couldn't quite process why Dupuis suddenly hopped over the boards for a shift with Sid. I was like wait a minute...
