Must be on a 3 year delay since you think Hagelin is worth a damn

I don't need a delay to know your next post will be dumb.

This early in the year might have been a good idea to dress 7 Defensemen and figure out pairs that way. Now your scratching 2 good players back to back and now forced to make combos. Gotta be rough

It doesn't matter if you dress eight dmen if they're all going to play mediocre hockey.

This is a systematic issue right now that's hungover from last year.

It’s finding good pairs. I’d rather scratch simon and play with my defense early in the year than let that bum play and scratch someone that’s going to contribute

Finding good pairs is definitely important, but if they're also not playing any kind of system and just doing whatever they want on the ice they're gonna keep getting caught.

On a side note, the Pens are playing a stronger third and I think Riikola has settled in.

Problem is all the players settled in and no one wants to make a play

Whelp.... DeSmith stole us a point. The Pens gotta get their sh!t together. Too many long stretches with crap effort.

1st line died after one period. 2nd line is a two man operation. There is no 3rd or 4th

Yeah, it looked really (frank)in bad. Not trying to be doom and gloom, but I don't see how that's not seriously long-term.

I don't think we'll even know for a few days because I'm sure they have to wait for the swelling to go down before they can test.

Listening to a bit of the game, sounds like the Habs were good & Niemi pulled a few saves out of his arse.

Not sure playing Brass on SIDS wing will be a thing that lasts too much longer.

I know you're only joking because there's no possible way they'll fire Sullivan, but I gotta be honest, that 2nd period looked like a team playing to get their coach fired.

Crutches and a walking boot is all I can find regarding him after the injury... I'm going to hope for one of those high ankle sprains and not a break.

Sometimes a break is better. Just hope it’s not a knee. Not a pretty fall
