Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Pens. 7pm, ROOT, TSN, RDS

[MrBurghundy]

Normally I would take whatever Rossi says and believe the opposite, but I highly, highly doubt Letang is going anywhere this season.

I'm hoping for the best.

 

[cheesedanish87]

We have the worst local media, when is the last time anybody from our media broke any type of pens news like a trade or injury?

 

[Waffle Fries]

I'm hoping for the best.

So I am. But the "best" in my mind is different from the "best" in yours.

fair enough.

What kind of illness prevents you from playing for almost a full week but is also not contagious and has no visible symptoms?

I agree. Although I also have a hard time seeing them trading their 1st again this deadline and I don't think someone like Despres is enough to get them what they want/need at the deadline. It'll be interesting to see what they do. Maybe they have their sights set pretty low and are just looking to try to get a Brad Boyes or Ales Hemsky type on the cheap to compete with Bennett for the top line role and then add a bottom 6 guy too.

sinus infection?

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

sinus infection?

Or migranes which he has had in the past i believe.

 

[sauce66871]

He's like the NHL's version of Percy Harvin, just not as smart.

Letang's still sick and will be evaluated further. Asked whether it's serious or long-term. Said they're "uncertain."

Almost has to be a concussion.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I think there's a good chance it's an STD

 

[cheesedanish87]

A long term Illness would give the pens some much needed cap space, but it would make him almost impossible to trade in the off season.

Pittsburgh Penguins ‏@penguins
Per #Pens coach Bylsma, Letang continues to not feel well. Doing further evaluation and tests on him. He is not available for tonight

Pittsburgh Penguins ‏@penguins
#Pens coach Bylsma said they are uncertain whether this is something long-term with Letang; it's why they're doing tests

No line rushes today? So, I guess it's the same line-up as on Saturday?

 

[Shrimper]

Could he have the trots?

Niskanen on was on the top PP unit.

I'd hope Engelland would be in for Ebbett...he's been more effective, plus Ottawa has its share of punks.

 

[IcedCapp]

you know, I'm going to assume he's actually sick and it's something serious and like how he's playing or not, I hope he gets better.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Yeah it does sound a little concerning. Reminds me of when Doan had rocky mountain fever earlier in the season and they didn't know what was wrong with him for a while.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Thanks for making me feel like a dick.

That's what made you feel like a dick?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Oh, and is Shelly having a live chat today? Time to play our favorite game again!

 

[MrBurghundy]

I should've said today.

You had to make it serious. I hope he gets better, too. It's just more weird **** with this team.


Mold?

I wonder if she knows anything about this.
