Orpik just joined Neal
- Killian

Now we are talking! We may actually get to see this team with everyone playing.

Neal's presence makes Geno Better. And that could be scary.

Orpik makes everyone on D better/fresher. I assume he will play more than Despres 6 minutes.

Shelly Anderson > Rob Rossi
- Killian

Both are pretty bad.

Shelly isn't bad in her columns/reports, but the questions she asks in scrums hurt my head.

Crosby must score a lot of goals while lying on his chest and ass.

Think they are finally realizing it's time to get their act together and start playing.

i meant they DIDN'T show up

Yeah, plus he never looks at the goal. Always looking at the ref whining and crying.

Bench 2 Jussi, Bennett, Glass.

Goind to be tough for HCDB. Bennett and Glass. Joki's faceoffs versatility give him the edge.

I said it in the last thread the real question is why is Strait on the ice when Sid is out there?

Saw a tweet yesterday something like the Islanders put a guy on Sid in OT who was waived this season so that the Pens could keep permanent healthy scratch Dustin Jeffrey lol.

Correct sir, the reason I said bench 2 is because I see Kennedy and Neal playing next game.


Orpik plays for Despres.

Strait has been a very good defenseman for us much better than Eaton was

It would be interesting to see how Neal looks today. It seems like he'd be a little further away then next game. Who know....

But yeah, I think that we will see Kennedy back next game. Not sure I take Beau out unless Neal is back in.

Guess it's the same for us as well. Eaton has been much better for us than Strait was

The only one that really will impact this roster is Orpik. With him the d pairings are upgraded. And minutes distributed more proper

- dbell646

Really. I am being completely honest when I say he was AWFUL with us. We couldn't wait until he was gone.

Eaton was terrible for us, one of our worst Dmen last year and that says a lot. Strait has'nt been wonderful since returning from injury, he was pretty good in game 2 i must say.

Anybody see Rene Bourque"s elbow to the head of Conacher last night. To me that was not much different than Matt Cooke to Ryan McDonagh. No league review of the play... got to love the NHL Wheel of Discipline

Yeah when we picked Eaton up I know a few Pens fans on here said we'd be happy with him. Well we were'nt, he was God awful, blaringly bad at times. Our team defense as a whole was terrible so that might have had something to do with it? Needless to say no Isles fans will miss him.

He's a good poster boy for the NHL and what it's turned into

- mighty13duck

yea I agree with you. I saw him play for long island a couple of times... he looked lost.

having said that, eaton has been one of our top defenders. really been an underrated part of our defense.

I actually focused on him a bit and he looked good. Certainl much better than he looked with us. Better fit for him in Pitts

If Pierre became GM of a team, do you think he suspends his only players for hitting Crosby?

Neal, Orpik still out there. Orpik looks especially strong. Will be surprised if he doesn't play Game 4, but that's just me. #Pens #TribHKY

Like I said last night... Conacher wasn't hurt so no suspension. oh.... and it was Rene Bourque not Matt Cooke.

- mighty13duck

Who cares. If Pierre! becomes a GM we won't have to listen to him and his rhetorical questions after every statement he makes. Wouldn't you agree, Edzo?
