Welcome to Pete's favorites. It's no wonder guys like Horton and Weiss didn't like him with all the favoritism going on. I am just glad Larsson has Finally became a Favorite in Pete's books lol.

It's my only problem with him....He really has to stop with this poop.

Penguins might be looking into Bryz ?

You can say that again.

Good hope he is signed and he shuts out the flyers every time he faces them.

Didn't even mention it but what the hell is henrique doing on the wing as well. Let alone 3rd line winger...The dude is a center!!

if elias moves to center then one of loktionov or henrique has to move to wing and apparently loktionov is garbage on the wing

Not only that but he has been one of our best forwards through out the pre season. Certainly better then Zajac so far outside of the face off circle.

Elias isn't physically strong enough to play center at his ripe old age. He's a winger through and through. He's gunna get thrown around and guys who he'll be going up against like Malkin will give him a swirly before the first horn.

in my opinion clowe-zajac-brunner looked unreal in the last preseason game i dont see why they would split that up

I don't know about unreal. I also hate how everything is just given to Zajac. Guy is a solid defensive forward but there isn't much there on the offensive side of things. I blame a lot of him not developing into the more offensive player on the injuries him and Parise suffered right after one another. Don't get me wrong here because my argument is just that between the two and where Henrique is in his development he needs to be the guy on the first line or the second not experimenting with him on the third line wing that is just ridiculeous talk about bruning a players potential for a player that has little room to grow.

i agree with you on letting henrique be the 1st line center but i think clowe-zajac-brunner should be the 2nd line

elias-henrique-ryder
clowe-zajac-brunner
zubrus-loktionov-jagr
carter-josefson-bernier

thats my ideal starting lineup come thursday, no weakness

also hate zajac on the point on the PP

I like that Elias is a good enough pro to mentor Henrique that it Allows a guy like Jagr to play third line where he is likely best and mentor LOktionov and don't get me wrong that is still a dangerous third line that can burn you if your not carefull

- BDizzlez

Yeah don't understand breaking that up. Also don't understand why Elias is being forced at center when he sucks a faceoffs. Play him on Henrique's wing.. has that ever even been tried?

yea and with jagr's age less 5 on 5 time but he'll be on the first pp so he'll still get a fair amount of minutes

These should be the lines...But they won't because Pete loves crack.He has wasted the preseason by not putting lines together.

POWER PLAY

First unit
Forwards: Jagr, Elias, Clowe. Points: Zidlicky, Zajac.

Second unit:
Forwards: Henrique, Brunner, Ryder. Points: Greene, Larsson (Harrold switching in).




Think i just blew a gasket...

zidlicky was clearly going to be on the 1st pp its zajac that i have the issue with on the point and harrold switching in

Yeah i think all of it is stupid. But if your going with one Dman on the point and it's not Larsson...You can't justify it at all. It is clear he is the best dman we have when the puck is on his stick. Zid has skill but he has minimal hockey sense...He is as dumb as they come out there.

I think you're overreacting. Harrold is rotating in with Larsson AND Greene, not just Adam. It's also practice the day before roster moves happen, so who knows if Harrold will even remain with the big club.

SOMETHING HAPPEN PLEASE!

- Kaymondel

Your probably right but still Larsson shouldn't even be getting subbed in or put on the 2nd unit.
