You did watch Maatta and Dumo last night, right?

I like watching his twitchy eyebrow when things are going his way. He's always pretty stoic on the bench, but when you see that eyebrow fluttering around you know he's not happy.

Does anyone else struggle with being a fan of a perennial playoff team, and the fact the playoffs are the best time to be on the water? My girl got me a new badass sonar /fishfinder and my schedule is full of hockey to watch. Life’s tough.

That's something I want to get back into. I use to go everyday in my teens. I'm a big bass guy. What do you fish for?

No, it's the "Andrew MacDonald is overpiad but is a serviceable 5/6 defenseman" argument.

You can just go to the local fresh seafood place and buy it instead.

Word is no lineup changes... I support keeping out JJ even with how bad Maatta looked... but why the (frank) no Teddy? ZAR does not belong on that roster if away from Malkin.

I agree with that, but if the big difference in this series is ZAR over Blueger, this team has more problems than I thought.

ZAR just doesn't seem to thrive unless playing in the top 6. So may as well put Blueger in.

I don't see ZAR as a top 6 player though. He seems to followup really good games with 5 games of nothing. At least for now he's not consistent enough to get that opportunity.

I agree, I'd have Blueger on the the 4th lone.

He's there purely for a physical presence along with Wilson. Thing is, neither were all that physical in gm1.

Its not a make or break difference, but its just a very dumb roster move.

Well like I said, I agree with you. Always want to ice the best roster. I just don't see it as a series-altering move.

At some point one of our d-men will get hurt and Jacko will draw in the lineup. Book it.

All six of our six best defensemen are better than Macdonald.

Go eff yourself

My prediction for tonight's game:

Pens 4-1
