Agreed to bad we didn't get him the experience the first 50 games

Well, in a perfect world Maatta, Ehrhoff and Letang would all be healthy and Pouliot would be busy leading AHL defensemen in scoring.

I did not like the tone of that period. I've seen this movie too often and I know the end result. If Ottawa gets an early goal in the third, we are in trouble.

Pouliot has to be on the PP. He's got to make mistakes to learn from them.

In games that matter. Up 3-0. I have Martin and Cole out there. I limit his ice time dramatically in this game. In February, I let him play all he wants.

Cant wait til next year when we can talk about maata again. He was always the better player in my eyes...but I live in london and saw him a lot.

With the injuries he can't be sheltered in the postseason. It's just the inevitable nature of it.

Supposedly Ehrhoff and Letang should return for the postseason...

Gotta be ready for anything. At this point, they're all in on Pouliot - Dumo and Harrington haven't been up here in a long time.

Up 3-0 you should be sheltering him because the only way they lose this game is gaffes like that. Clinch their spot, play him til his legs fall off and give Martin and Scuds a break.

Other way to look at is that he gave them the best possible chance to go up 4-0, so he was out there.

Hey, the Penguins have scored 4 goals this game... >_>

Right on cue... (frank)

They have enough goals to win. If MJ thinks he needs 4 I've got to really question his thinking.

There you go. F*CK!

Here we go again

Yeah, exactly. Chorney is terrible out there. Scuderi and Lovejoy aren't going to be capable of doing anything useful on the PP so all that can really be done is putting Pouliot on the 2nd unit behind Martin and Cole. Unless they want to get into putting forwards on the point which I am not very comfortable with.

Gut check time Pens

SOMEBODY HIT SOMEBODY!

Nice pass Sutter.

Biggest PP of the season.

We need to get horny on it

To many passes... Hornqvist could of picked either side of Hammonds

Ottawa's PK is more dangerous than the Penguin's PP.
