I hope the Penguins win.

 

[mikethelegacy]

I hope the Penguins win.

This may be a shared sentiment.

 

[GoHabsGo2013]

I think this might be the moment that Crosby steps up to make a run for the Art Ross. The Wild has allowed 22 goals in the last 5, and they just have terrible goaltending overall. Plus, next game is against the Islanders, a team he's been extremely good against.

Yeah, I'd like to see both Sid and Geno really light it up here before the ASB.

 

[Sam Spade]

I wonder if the Pens win by four or five does Yeo get fired tomorrow?

 

[Son Goku]

Wow. They have decent depth.

 

[GoHabsGo2013]

Oh, you bet he does!

 

[mikethelegacy]

Wow. They have decent depth.

Cooke on the 4th line and Niederreiter on the 3rd? Yeah, i'd say.

 

[Shrimper]

Yeah, I'd like to see both Sid and Geno really light it up here before the ASB.

Yeah, Crosby needs to start working with Perron now. Time to take back the Art Ross lead.

 

[Michael8771*]

Or Geno.

 

[mikethelegacy]

Or Geno.

The way he's playing, that's more likely to be honest

 

[chethejet]

Wild can play with anyone except in goal. That has not been a real strength this year. They however are an dangerous team that can breakout anytime.

 

[Michael8771*]

Yep, and there'd be nothing wrong with that. Hopefully they'll finish 1-2.

 

[mikethelegacy]

Yep, and there'd be nothing wrong with that. Hopefully they'll finish 1-2.

I'm never gonna call it a bad thing watching Geno play to his potential. I wish they could both play at an elite level at the same time, but it never seems to work out that way.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Out of the 15 or so Wild games that I've watched a part of this year I don't think they've won a single one and they've blown a lead in the vast majority of those.

So...that's either a good omen or a bad one.

 

[HuskerTornado]

All I know is the past few days I've seen the number 87 in all sorts of places about a billion times. Feel like something is happening with him tonight, good hopefully.

Look, even an 87 here. lol

 

[cygnus47]

We're pretty good at breaking bad streaks for other teams.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I agree with Sutter and Potash about the all gold jerseys and helmets except one thing, use them as the away jerseys. Never really liked the whites. I own only one, Kovalev.

Great job on the GDT, Mike.

LGP!

 

[Callista Rhian]

On one hand, I'd feel sorry for the Wilds. On the other hand, SID & GENO SHOULD BOTH TRY FOR 5 POINTS.

Might as well take advantage *shrugs*

 

[cygnus47]

Sid and Geno could both do with a breakout game. If we could score 2 or 3 powerplay goals that would also be good. We need an easy game to get our mojo back.

 

[penguins2946*]

I'm expecting Crosby to either get shut out tonight or have a big game (3-5 points)

 

[StroShow]

Really hope he scores a couple

 

[Shrimper]

Go Pens!

 

[CrozJawz*]

A struggling Wild team with the worst save % in the league???

Pens probably get shut out tonight...
