Pre-Game Talk: Will the team we Love the most bring us Joy tonight? Pens @ Avs 10pm Root

[Stad]

Stuart sucked even when he was "good", but I'd argue the one on the rush was 100% Osgood.

Guenin...someone must be hurt. It would be like playing Phil Samuelsson with Kris Letang.

Erik Johnson is hurt for them.

Those d-corps the Avs have are atrocious, easily the worst in the league.

I saw from the Avs board GDT that these are the expected pairings for the opposing team tonight:
Hejda-Redmond
Guenin-Barrie
Holden-Stuart

If Nate Guenin's in your top 4, you may want to have some serious thought about doing something to improve your blueline....

Oh, and hey, it's Brad Stuart! Thanks again for the Cup Win, Brad! (Seriously, he's responsible on both goals in Game 7 - he turns over the puck to Malkin for the first goal, then makes a bad pinch on the second).

... like trading for Simone Despres

D-zone definitely is not cool. And it doesn't work. It hasn't looked great. If a player is saying that, then it definitely makes sense why there is a struggle.

Well, each of the last 3 games Malkin has had 3 points. Let's keep his streak alive! although get 6 points so he can take Anaheim off.

Even though the 4th line was EXCELLENT last game, I fully expect Beau to be out and Adams in.

I'm starting to feel Beau wants out at this point. This organization won't ever do what he needs. They are too busy giving minutes to uys like Adams.

That and their defensive system is stupid. Their goaltender might keep the Pens off the board, but they'll still give up a crazy amount of shots.

Perhaps Lovejoy will be the new piece that stabilizes everything.

You have to keep in mind, most Dzone coverages are "very cool" in comparison to what Bylsma and co. had the team playing.

Why wouldn't he?

At least we'll have always had those few beatiful games of him with Geno this season.

Yeah. They had an awesome shift where they kept the puck in Columbus's zone for over a good minute. I'd guarantee if Adams was on that line, the puck would have been in and out under 15 seconds.

We can use a player like Adams in situations like tonight!!

Seriously though, I still can't believe he has trouble clearing a puck in a SH situation with no pressure and no one around him

they better not even think of bringing him back

A clean slate next year.

Adams won't be back unless certain people say he will. It shouldn't even matter about Adams then anyways. He should be no lower than the 3rd line, and if he's not in the top 9 he's been beat out by other players than Adams.

 

[Sorry]

I bet BB is the healthy scratch LOL! I'll likely have the game on mute on my other monitor while i play video games. The defense tonight is going to be an adventure.

Haha, that's what I've been doing for almost every game this season.

He's not going to be back next year period. Can we not read too much into this one thing? This most obvious of things?

GDT is up, lets take the talk there.
