I'm glad someone made a thread, i'm bored out of my mind today

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Jokinen-Malkin-Kobasew
Glass-Sutter-Megna
Adams-Vitale-Engelland
(Jeffrey, D'Agostini)

Orpik-Martin
Scuderi-Letang
Maatta-Niskanen
(Bortuzzo)

1st PP: Letang, Martin on points. Crosby, Kunitz, Malkin down low.
2nd PP: Niskanen, Maatta on points. Jokinen, Megna, Kobasew down low.

 

[ByeBye]

Also, we'll get to see Engelland punching some faces as a forward tonight.
I don't know why we do this to him, I just hope we put Jeffrey out of his misery soon.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Zatkoff in net? maybe I wont watch this one.

 

[Greeneye]

So I guess the writing is really on the wall for DJ. It's a shame because I think he could be a decent 3rd liner at worst. I'm disappointed Bort is getting scratched. In my eyes he has earned his spot on the team but I guess that's what happens when you have so much depth on D. LGP.

who would you rather scratch?
I think they NEED to play Niskanen to up his trade value.

So it begins.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

And so it begins.

Maybe we can try Bort on the wing too.

You read my mind!

I don't know man, I was just thinking out loud really. I know they have to play Nisky at this point. I think he's going to fail by not playing with Scuds. I'm not in love with Orpik either but knowing the country club atmosphere the Pens have I don't think he'll get moved. To me tho, Bort is a more valuable player on THIS team. But yes I know Nisky has to play.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Oh god Zatkoff...maybe it was a bad night but he looked horrific in his start against Florida. Pens are going to have to win this one 7-6.

 

[ByeBye]

Pens are going to have to win this one 7-6.

Somehow, I have a feeling that this will happen. We've not exactly been super efficient when it comes to converting on scoring chances/offensive zone time lately and this could be the night where the floodgates open.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

As long as we assume that the first line and powerplay does all the scoring. Then yeah... maybe.

Because we know the second line won't be doing diddly ****.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Pens should be able to score some goals tonight, Visnovsky and Strait are out for the Isles, Grabner is suspended, hopefully Zatkoff looks like an NHL goalie tonight.

 

[WVP]

If Zatkoff doesn't look NHL caliber again we might be trading one of our D assets for a backup goalie instead of the 3rd liner that everyone wants.

[ObsessedCreative*]

Man, I really feel bad for Jeffery. Do the guy a favor and just trade him already...

 

[DanFailsma]

Tavares is going to go buck wild on Zatkoff.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

No idea why Engo is in again over Jeffrey. Are they trying to up his value ever so slightly by proving his "versatility?" That's all I got, really...

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

So did DJ bang DBs wife? Or did he do something even worse like say something bad about Gladams?
