John Toperzer: Game night! Pens set to do battle with Rangers at MSG Pens looking to get back on track after losing three of four

Fire Bylsma?

Kennedy in the 4th line is a disgrace. The 3rd line was in fire with Cooke/sutter/Kennedy. If Malkin and Neal keep struggling then simply play the 3rd line more

Kennedy looked like the best player when he was on that second line. If anything put Malkin on the 4th line

I was just giving my impersonation of a Leafs fan.

Pens claim Zach Boychuk from waviers.

Game is on NHL Network tonight..so I guess I am most likely stuck with the Rangers MSG broadcast. Not that I love Stiegy and Errey though--just would rather have the Pens broadcast... such is life for an out of market fan

So Pens make a waiver claim, and Kunitz was not at the morning skate......interesting, hopefully not an injury

Just what we need another borderline NHL/AHL Center

Oh, in that case maybe the fans should start throwing waffles.

Great pickup...
he will turn into a 2nd line center and consistent 60P guy for you guys. Watch

So we have to trade Malkin?

I like Boychuk, hopefully he can play some wing.

He's Jeffrey 2.0

Greg Jamison is out as prospective Phoenix Coyotes owner. Someone is making attempts to put a new group together but it's a huge longshot.



Pull. The. Plug.

Bortuzzo is in tonight, so we get to take a look at him. Wonder who sits?

Interesting little tidbit, Sutter assisted on Boychuk's first career NHL goal.

- Reverend Killtaker

I disagree.


Plus he's from Calgary, so you know he's smart. And his favorite player is Crosby, how can you go wrong?

I'm actually surprised the Flyers didn't claim him.

Hes apparently sick but is playing tonight, hopefully reminding himself what constitutes a boarding call this season.

Given the way it has been inconsistently called so far, I don't think anyone knows what is or isn't a penalty there. shocker with NHL refs, I know

I disagree.

Ive seen plenty of him when he was in Albany and Charolette in the AHL. Good in the minors fringe in the NHL. If we didnt already have plenty of that on the team already I would be happier with the pick up.

per @Dan Rosen ‏@drosennhl Vokoun first off the ice this morning.


MAF playing the part of shooter tutor. Surprised Vokoun is getting the nod tonight.

I've got a good friend in the Coyotes' front office and for his sake I hope things work out. It must be tuf not knowing whether you're staying in Phoenix. For his sake and his family's, I hope they do.

Tell me about it...

They started building the Quebec arena right? But it won't be ready for next season... What other viable markets have an arena in place? Seattle?

If this Phoenix thing is a complete dead end, you'd think they'd have to move for next season, wouldn't they. Not that they sell tickets now, but how do you go with a complete offseason and a whole other season when no one will buy tickets or more importantly no businesses will spend any money with them?
