Well...the good news is after tonight and the other teams see our tape - we will definatly see more than our fair share of the NHL backups as we go forward!

He wouldn't be on a line with those cement heads if he would just compete and hustle.

It's not that hard.
- Powerslave

Exactly. He started out the game on a line with Ennis and Ott if I'm not mistaken

Girgensons needs to be playing on the first line, only guy giving a consistent effort

Like my girl said the other night... "Wrong hole"
- jochfr

Oh, you have a talking sheep?

Lets see a full season....lets see where he is in April vs right now - but that means he has to play meaningful mintues with meaningful linemates....
- JustOneCupPlease

Ok I agree with that. So far I am 100% unimpressed.

He's got almost 14 mins of ice time so far tonight, but that's a season high for him. Still deserves more ice time than what he's gotten tonight though. He's working hard out there every shift.

What an awful team

We have two excellent captains

I do agree with the Pittsburgh announcers about Ristolinen...he has played pretty well tonight....by far the best so far

I've upgrade to chunky chicks.

this team (frank)ing sucks...plain and simple...

I honestly have to say that I've liked what I've seen from the kids.

Girgensons, Pysyk, and Risto haven't looked out of place. That's the good news.

The bad news is that the rest of the team looks like poop (goaltenders excluded)

Vanek and Ott are Co-awesome

Rolston's going to have no choice but to play him more.

Maybe he could jumpstart Hodgson and Vanek. they have been invisible out there

He certainly has earned it, IMO. Kinda wish he wasn't out there for the Pens first 2 goals, but oh well.

Maybe.....




I think Vanek heard you.

First time i've ever been surprised that Vanek scored

He backchecks like his hair's on fire.

I knew I would like him, but last night it became love.

I've been in love since about the halfway point of the AHL season last year. Just after the NHL lockout ended. He got promoted with Foligno and Hodgson leaving for the big club and he's been a force ever since.

The 1 goal they have this year is from a 19 year old they're only giving 12 mins of ice to each night.

He's also been the best forward, IMO. But let's continue to only give him 12 mins of ice time.
- HonkFortheGoose

If they continue to be this bad (which they probably will) then I want to see Girgs with top 6 mins and PP time, same with Larsson and Grigs

A goal. You know it's bad when my buddy and I are the only ones at crazy jakes(loaded) give a poop we scored.

Well, at least the trade deadline should be interesting.
