Ryan Wilson: Penguins looking to form the worst pairing in league and be better for it Penguins looking to form the worst pairing in league and be better for it

NOW GIVE THEM 22 MINUTES PER NIGHT

you're the worst my man. change it up for your readers ONE TIME and try to write about something positive.

Let them play. The best thing that could happen is seeing one of them sit or rotate with Riikola or even Marino/Addison/Joseph during the season.

It would be nice to see those two play 14-15 mins a night and shut people down....*and I wake up from my dream*

Well maybe JR can be opportunistic with WPG and figure something out for JJ.

I fail to see where anything he said is wrong.

You are 100% correct on this one. The whole team improves with that 3rd pairing setup.

As long as none of the top 4 dmen stay healthy, this may work. Limit the JJ/EG pair to 15 minutes. However, injuries will happen and the pairings will change. Let’s hope MP shows he’s ready to be a Top 4 Dman.

My god, you’re miserable. It’s funny, while you wince and moan, both Johnson and Gudbranson still get paid and do what they love for a living.

Maybe just maybe, they’ll play their asses off for Pittsburgh and some thankful fans (and not embittered bloggers) will appreciate it.

Nah. They won’t.

Come on, man. You have to give them a real chance.

I have no doubt they’ll play their asses off, and I have no doubt they’re good guys, but that pairing will blow.

shut up.

Top 3 lines except Crosby or McCann. Simon on the top line C to get another look at him there? I think Lafferty is the only other C and I'm guessing he's 4C. One of the prospects gets to play with Bjugstad and Hornqvist.

Also interested to see who Gudbranson plays with, and nice to see Marino get a second straight game.

Also, Justin Schultz is not a good analytics player either.

Give them a chance. They haven’t played a full season together yet.

Also, Justin Schultz is not a good analytics player either.
- Tojo.

My sources indicate that Schultz is actually a hockey player.

That’s why I think he’s overrated in these parts.

Give them a chance. They haven’t played a full season together yet.
- Mr_Underwood

And chances are they haven’t played with anyone on their level yet.
