I can see them losing in the ECF against PIT/WSH

I don't think TOR/BOS has it in them to beat TBL.

MTL/CBJ/CAR don't have the firepower for a 1st round upset either.

Out of those teams I could see Carolina going the distance with them if their goaltending holds up.

All situations, right. I always leave it on 5vs5 haha

I normally do but for this case it was important to show how few of chances Dumo gets

Looks like Letang and Rust will be taking contact in today’s practice. Wearing normal jerseys.

Good news!

Eh yo, Liz Lemon!

Both are expected to be back for sure in the lineup tuesday against Carolina! Id be fine leaving them both out for these 2 games back to back.

I mean if they’re ready they should play. STL is no joke.

And Philly is Philly. We can’t really afford to leave points on the chopping room floor at this juncture.

#2 in division at stake.

Well, the playoffs are at stake. A two game slide can put them right back in a three-way-tie for the final spot

Nope but Ive seen them beat the jackets, bruins and caps in the last week without those 2. Id rather "possibly" lose those 4 points then lose those 2 for the first round of the playoffs because they were only ready for contact 24 hours before they played them in back to backs.... Thats 1 practice and 1 morning to see how your body reacts to contact..... Especially Letang with a possible kneck injury. Ive seen them bring players back then they get hurt for twice as long and everyone loses there minds that they came back to early.

Yeah so then when you take into account the small amount of chances coupled with his crappy shooting % you are left with low production.

Yeah. Because he doesn't jump in the play often because its not his game most of his chances are extremely low danger. Add in his muffin of a shot and low danger becomes basically no danger.

The Caps have 3 games left vs Tampa? Wow.

- Feds91Stammer

hahah yeah and that goes hand and hand with what I said earlier, that he's very rarely going to be the one to take the shot when Letang is his partner and the forards are usually either Sid or Genos line. He'll be the 3rd or 4th last player to touch it before it goes in ...if that many touch it before it goes in...

Play Murray against STL and Desmith vs Philly. The last thing the Pens need is one of their morons running Murray on Sunday.

You'd think, but everyone keeps acting like Tampa is some sort of unstoppable beast. They're close to it when they crank it up, but nobody is infallible.

Except the 02 wings.

Their defense is slow as hell.

And in terms of percentage

Dumoulin gets 6.1% of the scoring chances he is on the ice for while Letang gets 10.6%

Dumoulin gets 1.5% of the high danger chances he is on for while Letang gets 3.9%

So he should have half the goals.

- Feds91Stammer

"muffin of a shot". Ha ha. Never heard it called that, but yes.

So he should have half the goals.
- Guile

Which would be 7.5

However he has about half the shot of Letang which puts it to 3.75

So at 3 Dumo is right on track
