GDT: ECQF Game 1|Choose Your Hero|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. NY Islanders|5.1.13|19:30 EDT

[Stad]

Seems like wishful thinking to me.

We'll know soon enough.

 

[PKV Jungle Friends]

Am I alone in not thinking it's a big deal if Sid doesn't play today?

Sit him until he's healed up. We don't need him to beat the Islanders, folks...

Crosby back on ice for #Penguins game-day skate. Suspense continues

Brooks Orpik, who had been skating on his own, is on the ice for #Penguins game-day skate.

 

[NastyNick]

when i read that Crosby was taking hits from Kadar, i interpreted that to mean - he was approved for contact, and by his own statement yesterday about it - he was playing.

Then i come here and its the apocalypse. I really hate this speculation.

 

[SirBrad]

Sid and Brooks in tonight now?

 

[Pfnf]

he's on the ice again, there you go

 

[Stad]

I'm surprised Orpik is on the ice since he wasn't even in gear yesterday.

 

[IcedCapp]

I'm sure this has been posted, I'm at dentist office cant do better, but Sid and Bruce on the ice

What if we had a game where everyone was healthy?

You just know someone is going to hurt then. This happens like never.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Great news on Orpike hes a warrior, I think hes gonna be playing tonight

 

[dr robbie]

Can't wait! Hope Crosby is in the lineup!

Seems doubtful that Crosby would play after skating hard before game-day skate, but we'll see. #Penguins

i don't know, he skated like what? 20 minutes? not that he ran a marathon or so..

 

[bradshaw06]

Obviously, the lines will be most telling.

 

[Coach Travis]

Obviously, the lines will be most telling.

Yup. And it looks like he's skating with Jeffrey & Kennedy.

Yeah, she's just speculating like the rest of us at this point. I wish we knew exactly what Sid & Kadar were doing during their skate.

Crosby not skating on a regular line at #Penguins game-day skate. Skating with Jeffrey, Kennedy.

Not sounding good.

 

[IcedCapp]

Sid not on his line, let optimism fade into nothingness

 

[Stad]

**** sakes.

 

[Sypher04]

I haven't seen many games of late but I'm definitely tuning in tonight, if Sid plays, what lines should I expect?

 

[Dying Alive]

Meh. I'm not giving up hope until he doesn't come out for warm ups tonight.

 

[Coach Travis]

Jeffrey-Crosby-Kennedy
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
Dupuis-Jokinen-Iginla
Cooke-Sutter-Adams

 

[zero8771]

Hard to believe he isnt cleared to play after some of the returning player stories we've heard

 

[lornloxor]

Yeah very doubtful now, damn it with these injuries
