Can't blame Letang directly for Maatta's giveaways but there's something to be said for a 19 yr old pressing because he has to do more than he should.

Damn what a save.

Its a little bit concerning right now that every person that plays with him seems to play their worst hockey. He should have the opposite affect.

But then again he can do stuff like that. Frustrating player.

Last year Despres seemed to do well with him. I guess he doesn't care as much about making simpler plays when he's with a younger guy now.


Great to have PaulMart back though. Big difference.

He needs to do that to balance the other stuff out.

We could let Engelland play D, and Tanger could play wing. Then he wouldn't have to worry as much about his defense.

I can't say I am a fan of either of those ideas.

If you had to choose that, or Sid playing point on the PP?

SutterTron! Yes!

Just like Tom Ford, Brandon Sutter likes to hit the pipe. No...not that pipe.

Nystrom got his bell rung !!!!! Yeah tanner bring the grit !

What the heck happened to Glass this offseason? Not only scoring goals, but winning fights as well.

If Nystrom would have just taken a clean check like a man he wouldn't be seeing three of everything right now. I understand if he wants to boost his team but I hate the retaliation to clean hits.

Sure hope Nystrom is alright. Looks like he got dinged. He took a nasty punch to the side of the head.

Agreed. That and staged fights just don't really stir my coffee

I certainly don't wish that end result on him but he more than earned it.

Glass has won a few fights this year, a changed man

I think he must have been reading the board and took it to heart. Completely different player.

If that's the case, someone please get him to send Letang here.

@PensNation_Nick
Pens with just 3 hits in the first and 4 in the second.

Shows how useless that stat is.

Can't hit when you have the puck

Nystrom won't return. No surprise there.

Hutton in net for Preds now too

Wow, the Letang bashing really needs to lighten up. Its less than a quarter of the season in and he's played like 10 games.

So then it's safe to assume Adams pugilistic skills will improve next season?

I'll call a spade a spade. To this point he hasn't been good this year. I gave him a 10 game grace period.
