That Penguins roster is hurting.

@Andy99
Reply to your last message about injury for stretch run.
I'm surprised Malkin decided to join the penguins this year for the final stretch.
So used to him being injured this time of year.

 

[Andy99]

Actually last game was a 3-2 shootout win for the Caps…teams split the season series so far…I was thinking Zucker might be out awhile but Seth is reporting that Nylander was suggesting he was just a placeholder for Zucker this morning and that Zuck should be playing tonight…we’ll see…he was wholly ineffective last game on that bum foot lol…

My comment from other thread:

Pens will choke against the Caps today.,.count on it…lol

“We have nine games left to go on a run and do something special here. I think if we do get into the playoffs, we’re going to be one of the hottest teams to get in. We’re excited for the challenge and, obviously, a huge game on Saturday.” —Dylan Strome on facing the Penguins, via NBC Sports

Yes. I was doing it for that long plus... while doing other things. It just seems like every time I do one yours pops up right before mine.. Just sayin...

 

[Icarium]

Another nationally televised game, ugh.

Not just that but a must win game as well. Usually this does not bode well for the Pens.

 

[molon labe]

Dueling hat trick 2.0.

Hahaha what

 

[Bowski]

"All three goalies are present." Does that mean Jarry is:

 

[Andy99]

Hahaha what

To be fair, the Caps have a better record than the Pens over the last 10 games so they have more reason for optimism…although not THAT much lol

I am putting a good chunk of money on Caps, love my money, but would not mind losing it if Pens can somehow win, pretty sure they won't.

Rust still on L1? Check.
Granlund still on L3 despite potential injury to Zucker opening up spot in top 6? Check.
Sullivan still doing Sullivan things with the lines? Check.

 

[Slaaapshuter]

I'm just here for some GCR, you just can't put a price on one of the best lines to have ever laced 'em up.

And that guy Brent Rust, wow, he's just having that Chris Earneditz kind of season.

That's Sid and Ovi head to head. Sid obviously missed a bunch of games.

Poehling keeping Carter at 4C is huge.

Oh my, anybody's better than Steve Mears, this is a godsend for me. No hyperbole, can't stand that guy. You don't seriously enjoy him do you?

 

[Rudy Russo]

Go pens! Hoping for a win tonight against the Caps tonight.

 

[Pens x]

Liking Steve Mears is like liking Ron Hextall.
