Pre-Game Talk: Washington Capitals @ Pittsburgh Penguins 3/19

[Candyman]

Has anyone heard if Malkin could come back, or the status of Kris Letang? Perhaps both can return this game?

I hope Letang doesn't. This would be a good game for Malkin to come back.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I have a feeling that Ovie will bring his A-game for this one, as he usually does against us.

 

[alcanalz]

Letang could probably return tomorrow but I'd hope he sits a game or two just in case, get closer to 100%.

 

[SteelFish87*]

I hope Letang doesn't. This would be a good game for Malkin to come back.

Agree. Letang needs a rest

I can't wait for this one. Crosby needs to bring his A game Ovechkin always does against Pittsburgh for some reason. I hope we see Letang and/or Malkin.

 

[SteelFish87*]

Stamkos with the EN goal dammit

Malkin back would be nice but I can live w/o Letang for a game or two. It really depends on how nagging the injury is and if a couple of days will help it.

Lazy wants Geno back more than anyone.

haha yeah i bet Neal can't wait to have Malkin back.

DB was on NHL Live this afternoon, they asked him about Letang and Malkin and this is what he had to say:

Malkin practiced today and will be skating with the team shortly.

Letang got "stung" in last nights game but responded well today and they will see how he is for tomorrows game.

Here's a link to the phone interview if anyone wants to hear it.

Thanks Stad.

it's funny that he calls Neal lazy... must be a guilty conscience.

 

[lokomotiv15]

Does anyone know if any of the practices or game day skates are open to the public?

Thanks

Generally they're not. Pre-game skates right before the game are able to be watched if you get there early.

Ah i didnt think so. Well thanks for the info. Pumped for my first game at consol tmrw.

 

[ColePens]

Every team from here on out is going to give us their best. There will not be an easy game. If we get on Washington quick, though, I feel they could go away. Need to jump out quickly.

 

[fragmag]

So stoked for tonight's game. Sitting in the Captain Morgan Club for the first time ever! I'm going to bring some grey poupon lol.

If the Pens forecheck gets rolling they could really wear out the Caps and put up a good amount of goals tonight. I want to see a frustrated Ovie.

Spoken like a Bylsma press conference!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lazy wants Geno back more than anyone.

No kidding, Malkin creates space for him by drawing most of the attention, when all people need to do is focus on him on his line, he's rendered useless. Beau is good but he loses a lot of battles along the boards, I can't wait until this kid bulks up/gets in better condition.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Malkin back would be nice but I can live w/o Letang for a game or two. It really depends on how nagging the injury is and if a couple of days will help it.

If Letang isn't back for this game, he'll be back for the Isles game, that's a 4 day break for him to get whatever injury he has, healed up and ready to go again and also to recharge his battery a little, the guy has been over played.

A good time for Despres to step up, same for Niskanen.

I would love to see a defense like this against the Caps.

Orpik, Martin
Despres, Niskanen
Eaton, Bortuzzo

GDT is up.. lets move on over.
