John Toperzer: Game Night: Jordan Staal returns to Pittsburgh; Neal, Martin back, too Pens look to close out regular season with win over Carolina on Saturday

I miss Staal, but the trade couldnt have worked out better for us. Let's go Pens!

Oh, and...first.

Well, it appears Iginla is back on LW (still puzzling) with Geno at center and Neal on RW.

“@PensInsideScoop: When Iginla first arrived played RW because #Pens wanted him comfortable early on. Now he's more ready to switch to LW -SK”

They can say what they like but watching the games he looks lost and uncomfortable on LW. Very apparent last game with Geno and Bennett, he ends up drifting back to RW quite a bit.

It pisses me off Crosby wont play this last game before the playoffs, a pedestrian 1 goal, 1 assist gets him the Art Ross, assuming St.Louis goes pointless

It's uncertain whether he's been cleared for games yet, only practice at the moment.

Doesn't sound like he has. I was annoyed when Keenan was saying Crosby should be playing last night. As if he has and f'n clue how bad his jaw was broken. The last thing they need is him to re-injure himself and lose him for the entire of the playoffs. I wouldn't care if he needs two more weeks. They should cruise through the first round if the rest of the team is healthy.

Shamarko Thomas SS (This guy is a little bull!)

Landry Jones QB (Is this guy any good?) He's a 6'4" QB)

Owns all the passing records at Oklahoma (the same school as Sam Bradford), not that college statistics mean anything in the NFL.

I guess he could learn a bit from Roethlisberger. Hopefully he'll be a steel and can produce in a couple years.

Comparables:

Jarvis Jones: Bruce Irvin
Le'Veon Bell: LeGarrette Blount
Markus Wheaton: Antonio Brown
Shamarko Thomas: Quintin Mikell
Landry Jones: Matt Cassel

I didn't love the pick or value of Bell, but he's much more of an all-around RB than Blount.

I like Bell more than Lacy... Lacy had a very good line at Alabama.

Plus, Bell was the only offensive option at Michigan State so everybody keyed in on him and he was still a BEAST!!

He certainly had good production, but lets not forget it was against a porous Big Ten conference. Big Ten RBs haven't had a great track record in the NFL.

Terry Hawthorne CB out of Illinois.

Comparable: Aaron Ross (Jaguars)

Good pick right there. The guy is a true athlete.

Justin Brown WR out of Oklahoma.

Landry Jones got his buddy to throw the ball to while on the sideline

How many people are dreading errey and Paul orgasm over the fact that there's THREE staals?!?!

Haha, ugh that could get annoying.

Sid clearly doesn't seem ready to go. One hit and he misses more time. The playoffs are more important than the Art Ross. As much as I hate to see him lose out because of injuries again.

Screw Justin Brown.

Looks like we avoid the Rags in the first round. Up 4-0 on the Devils. So, the Islanders or Ottawa.

just use him only for the PP and tell him to be like ovechkin, stand in one spot and dont move/contribute/pass and only take one timers until you score

Screw Justin Brown.

I don't understand why...

The Steelers pick WR Justin Brown at 186th overall (Rating 53.8)...then the Bengals pick WR Cobi Hamilton at 197th overall (Rating 72.9).

Some people wanted Hamilton in the Steelers...

im kind of leaning towards the sens. the isles always find a way to make the pens look foolish, and even though Karlsson is back, his defensive skills are not very polished yet. if the pens have a healthy team, their offense could work all over the sens

I'm glad we aren't playing the Rangers in the 1st Round. I expect to see the Islanders...and I also expect a 4-1 series to Pitts

Vince Williams LB out of Florida St.

Hard hitter and plays with intensity. Good pick for the 6th Round.

Glad its not the Rangers, they are looking pretty dangerous. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the bounce the B's or Caps or whoever they end up with.
