And I was at the game on Saturday, woof. There wasn't enough alcohol in the building for that night.

I kinda want ZAR with Sid...not Simon. Sid needs some grit on that line. I don't really like Simon...don't hate him(sheary)...but don't want him on our top line.
- taleisyreXIII


Yeah, I hate that line. Crosby should have at least one proven goal scorer on his line.

Something I want to watch...seems so far to me that desmith starting leads to a little more effort level from the whole team. I don't know if it's just circumstance or what. But the core of this team loved MAF. I'm sure most of them are not patient with MM playing like a sieve.

This core has shown it can and will play poorly to prove a point. we have seen a coach or two or three get run out of town by the core seemingly giving up.

That last sh!t pp was the regular group I think
- Thorny87


I must have missed it but if they get some 3rd period PPs Id definitely bet on the regular PP.

Tons of teams do this for a short period of time when things are going badly. No I’m not meaning like the leafs (Babcock) did with Mathews but splitting up a PP for a short period happens. Doesn’t surprise me Wilson doesn’t know this. We’ve seen the caps do it, philly did it, Tampa has done it, the hawks have done it lots, the jets come to mind as well. It’s not Sullivan’s ground breaking idea, this has been done lots haha

I watched a video earlier today, looked like it was filmed in an Uber. Crosby was in the passenger seat, Malkin and Letang in the backseat. You can overhear Malkin say "Poon, did you hear Q got fired?". Shortly after Crosby says "We could use that coach...he could teach me how to grow a better mustache.". Then you just see Malkin and Letang having a tickle fight in the back.

I'd take coach Q here. Pens have a formula for winning cups...gotta replace sully soon if we wanna win this year. Lol

That formula always included MAF...Murray no longer has that safety net.

Been missing the game and gonna miss the third most likely. How was ZAR and Wilson looked?

I believe it is pronounced...Bare-Ass-ho

That's right I was thinking Bowman was coach for both. I forgot about Johnson, that was health related right?

They had a nice shift in the 1st. Wilson drew a penalty. ZAR had some nice PK time. Without checking the numbers, I don't think the 4th has played much.

Health of course yes. But the ground work was laid by Johnson and polished off by Bowman.

terrible and selfish. absolutely fine with him being tossed, and it will probably cost them the game.

that being said, let crosby react like that to anything like oshie just did and the memes would be plentiful.

Couldn't have happened to a better Oshie. The amount that effer has dove playing us I'm not one ounce upset he finally got poked in the Mellon a couple times.

Obviously Scotty Bowman is Scotty Bowman, but so much respect for Johnson. I remember him more from the US National Teams.

Yikes, not a smart move by Evgeni Marchand.
Prob sitting a game or 2 for that one.

In other news, hell of a game though

I like the aggressive PK from the Pens, wish the Flyers did that. Rather be scored on pressuring the PP then sit back and let them score easily.

Can't stand that twirp. I honestly have no issue with what Malkin just did...early in the season...get your shots in. This team doesn't forget Wilson on zar...Wilson on dumo...Wilson on...fill in the blank. Nisk on sid...Orpik on maata....Steckel on sid...I mean it's pretty one sided on the issuing of concussions.
