Bennett could still have a lingering injury. They don't want to put him on IR, and maybe it's also so minute they'll just healthy scratch him over Bennett's will to play through it.

That doesn't make any sense. If he has been injured for a week, just put him on IR retroactive to when he was injured. It's clearly a healthy scratch situation based on everything we have heard.

Gotta play Adams man. He's vital to the Penguins success!

*Sigh*

How Bennett makes more sense for the fourth line over Downie, Spaling or Comeau I just dont know.

What happened to MJ's obsession with Sutter-Bennett?

Seems to suggest that Comeau will be back for Wednesday. I hope they're using Adams on the LW as he's total garbage no matter what position he plays.

4th line Bennett. Atta boy.

4th line Bennett. Atta boy.

Better than him sitting out alltogether in favor of Sill (and Adams).

 

[td_ice]

Bennett sent to the Siberia of skill line. That will learn him.

For sure and I'd love to think what our 4th line could look like with one more acquisition, but we know Adams will never sit.

 

[Will Hunting]

I suppose that

K-C-P
Comeau-Geno-Horn
Spaling-Sutter-Downie
Bennett-Lap-Adams

is gonna be a lineup.. Bennett on the 4th line and on his off-wing. I guess that if he doesn´t produce there, Sill will be back sooner than later.

while everyone else gets a free pass of course.

The only thing I can think of is that this is part of Johnston's plan to make sure he "battles" or whatever. Since he obviously won't be able to do anything involving his skill set while on a line with Adams, the only thing he can do is try to win board battles since Adams can't.

And since the fourth line is perpetually stuck in our own zone, he will be doing his practice battle drills in-game.

 

[Vujtek]

No mention of Arcobello so wonder if he's part of that rotating 4th line as well?

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Well atlas BB might play. Please waive Arco

 

[Speaking Moistly]

So, will Adams try to take Bennett out in game?

 

[MrBurghundy]

Sill has been miles better than Adams has the past few games. At this point, I don't think I'll ever see Adams not wear a Penguins jersey. Even 30 years from now he'll still be suiting up.

Of course.

Derrrr.

I know, far from eloquent.

It's not really even close how much better Sill has been than Adams since coming back from his injury.

I'll wait until the lineup is set, but we all know what is going to happen.

 

[Shady Machine]

Yeah that's the other thing. Sure Bennett should be in the lineup, but if anyone is sitting on that 4th line it should be Adams not Sill. Who does this team have to acquire for Adams to sit?

Yeah, I think they want him to get playing time and for him to get comfortable playing a more physical game in that 4th line type of role. I hope the long game is that their getting him ready to swap with Spaling. BB is one of the only guys with enough skill to pull Sutter up possession wise.

One thing certain for me, is that a line with Bennett playing passively and Sutter is too soff. A Bennett playing like he did to start the season with Downie on the other side is much more palatable.

I appreciate the effort you put into spinning this positively. It must be hard work.

Not spinning anything. Im trying to figure out their rationale. Sorry, im not one make mountains of mole hills.

It's just a friggin' joke at this point how Adams is always in the lineup, no matter who is acquired or who is brought up.

If JR brings in someone at the deadline, you just know it'll be Bennett who is healthy scratched to make room in the lineup for the new acquisition. Meanwhile, Adams trots out there and gets a regular shift to do absolutely jack **** all game.
