Nice win. The defense and goaltending can be a dumpster fire at times.

Our defense when fully healthy and with Letang playing as he's capable is pretty solid. But man do we struggle when one piece is off. And I don't see Cole going as anything but a drop off as he's better than Hunwick especially when paired with Schultz which is where Hunwick likely ends up.

Rags just brought up Vinni Lettieri from Hartford. Kreider is a commin to the Burg!

Not at all. Maatta will be paired with Schultz on the second pairing, or Sullivan is making an awful decision.

Pens, Blackhawks, Ducks, and Oilers all outside the playoffs right now.

Sullivan just usially plays his 2nd and 3rd pairing pretty even rather than a top 4. I expect him to keep them split for balance.

I didn't buy the Cup hype, but thought they'd be a playoff team.

Also, I really like the Maatta-Ruhwedel pairing.

I dunno, I'm not a fan of it. I like McD, but I think he's pretty overrated and I really like Kreider.

You're not wrong, guess I thought they'd do it again. Miss Eberle even more then I thought and Klefbom has taken a step back plus the Sekera injury.

I'd do it. You get a good power forward to play with Crosby and a guy who is a bit of a downgrade from Letang for close to the same cap hit total cap hit. Both are on really nice cap hits which would leave the Pens with plenty of cap space for free agency.

McDonagh is a lefty though which really unbalances us though, no thanks.
