Reasons to watch this game:
1) hey, maybe the crowd wakes up and gets a “fire Sullivan “ chant going some time
2) watch the Ducks cool young players and Vezina caliber young goalie stymie the Pens
3) it’s Halloween—cool costumes in the arena

Reasons to not watch this game : pretty much everything else lol

If I had to bet, I'd say this game will not only be pretty boring but played with many many empty seats!!

 

[Sideline]

I am hoping for 2 points from Crosby, Malkin, and Karlsson, a Rakell goal, and a 5-3 loss to help the tank.

Lizotte game time decision and Ned starts…

I'm in the "lets talk about top 5 picks" mode now but seeing Accirai in and on the 3rd line with Puljujarvi scratched has my eye twitching.

Basically…lol

 

[Gurglesons]

Yay another grinder in Lizotte to take a young scorer’s spot. That’s what we need!

cmon guys get it together and get a damn W

Who's the young scorer?

 

[Empoleon8771]

If they'd just scratch Beauvillier and put Puljujarvi in on L3, I wouldn't have any issues with that forward group.

O'Conner-Eller-Puustinen
Bunting-Glass-Puljujarvi
Lizotte-Hayes-Acciari

Not sure why they're not running with this

 

[SomeDude]

Mike Sullivan will be dressing up as an NHL caliber coach for Halloween this evening.

 

[Gurglesons]

Who's the young scorer?

Pulju has 5 points in 10 games.

 

[Pens x]

Nice, we are icing three different fourth lines tonight.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Score six, but lose

No wins
Just fun

Add Beau to the list of players that have compromising pics of Sully:

- Carter
-Harkins
- Porter

I probably missed a few.

Here's to hopin'.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

How do you look at that forward group and think Pulju should be the odd-man out?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Poor JP

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Bunting's been like an ECHL-caliber player. Absolutely dogshit in every zone. No idea why he's still dressing. Beau hasn't been much better, but Bunting's been jarring in how awful he's been.

 

[SomeDude]

Anthony Beauvillier reading the lineup sheet this morning.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Nice, we are icing three different fourth lines tonight.

I tells you, they won't know what hit them!

And just wait until we unleash Matt Nieto on their asses. Who can stop us then?

 

[Jag68Sid87]

If I were V. Puustinen right now, I would not be getting too comfortable.

Put up points at your own risk, dude.

He got promoted from the press box to the top 4th line.
