Pre-Game Talk: Pens vs Sens

[Your Boy Troy]

Beau can't get a break. Hopefully he returns sooner rather than later.

Tonight is a guarantee Farnham gets his ass handed to him by Chris Neil. Ottawa is a big physical team with speed. The team will have their hands full tonight. Anderson or Hammond will most likely be stellar. Mark Stone or Mika Zibanejad will match up against 87.

Maybe--and this is kind of off the wall, so stick with me on this one--the coaching staff is responsible for making sure the team is prepared and giving it their utmost effort night in and night out.

It's the coach's responsibility that the team is focused and prepared to play. MJ doesn't even go into the locker room apparently.

If getting blown out tonight means MJ gets sacked, let's hope Ottawa lights us up tonight.

Seriously. The team on the ice is a reflection on the coach.

They had no problem playing for him the first few months last seasons. Then injuries struck and the other guys stopped putting in effort.

lmfao beau

I can't think of a more injury prone player ever.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Once the scouting report on the Penguins was in, and it took 20-25 games to figure them out, this team was done. We have yet to readjust to the league, and that's on the coaching staff.

 

[Asuna]

You're surprised by that? Farnham is the only extra forward they've got on the roster...

No, i'm sighing because Bennett is hurt, obviously. Of course Farnham would replace him.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I'm getting a bad feeling.

“Beau's injured,†Johnston said. “He's going to be out for tonight's game. He's going to be further evaluated like any other injury after a game. He was evaluated yesterday and today and start to get some news on how long that injury may be.â€

 

[Whats The Maatta]

How can they not play the best PP forward... I mean, he battles in front of the net so hard, takes a beating and is a valuable piece... experience.... puck control.. speed.. tempo.. pace.. warm cookies..

Is this real life?

 

[themethod7]

Probably just hurt his thumbs playing NHL16, I do it all the time.

 

[Penguinsyay]

Somehow not surprised by Beau injury, must be very frustrating for him. Hopefully it is just for a game or two.

Made me laugh.

Let's hope for no injuries tonight guys, hoping for a good game!

Hopefully that means Sprong gets around 15 minutes. But, meh, I am not holding my breath, it probably means Cullen on L3 and a fourth line of Farnham, Porter and Sprong

The Pens will not provide you with a good game and will probably have an injury because it's the Pens. Probably Dumoulin.

 

[Penguinsyay]

They'll have a good game just to screw the fans over in the long term by delaying the firing of HCMJ.

No ****. This seriously happened so many times with DB, I'd think "hey, maybe we're finally to the point where they say enough is enough"... nope, 7-2 Pens win and all is right in the world again.

I've never been one to actively root for losses from my favorite team and always thought it was garbage when people did that but I think the sooner this coaching staff is replaced the better off the team will be. A loss is not the worst thing that could happen.

Kunitz and Scuderi having multi point games in a win would be the worst.

 

[djt153]

do own goals count as points?

If goals that don't go in count, then I don't see why own goals wouldn't.

I have no faith in the org anymore... The Bennet Injury is going to end up being something minor that they will keep him out long enough to get Duper back or something... it cant be a coincidence that he played so well and finished the game out there with no noticeable issues, then suddenly gameday he has a mystery injury that is keeping him out... its like with Despres... he is a threat to vets they like.... he will be dealt for peanuts and we will regret it....

Sprong will get like 5 minutes... Kunitz and porter will divide the rest

The conspiracy stuff has gone way too far, and what you said doesn't even make sense.
