[Rotting Corpse*]

Pens 8 - 2

Crosby 3G, 4A. Passes Henrik on the all time points list.

 

[Josepho]

1-0 Penguins in regulation.

Granlund scores into his own net, further solidifying the Vey comparisons.

JPat posted an interesting question:
- Do we rest our #1 against the Eastern team, and then play him against STL/CGY, or do we play him in all 3?

I hope Bo is good to go. This team without Bo and, to a lesser extent but still, Bae is no fun to watch.

 

[M2Beezy]

6-3 Pittsbourgh here with our goals from both Sedins and Stecher. Wont be close will be 6-1 in the third and we get useless goals at the end

 

[TruGr1t]

I'd be surprised if Miller doesn't start his one.

 

[DL44]

Going off the top of head.. but don't the Sedins show well vs the Pens/Pens D?

 

[PG Canuck]

Pens gonna have their way with us.

Sid gets 1000

Pens 8 - 2

Crosby 3G, 4A. Passes Henrik on the all time points list.

That would be awesome!

 

[Hammer79]

Grandlund with 2 goals and an assist. HFCanucks whines about his ice time anyway.

 

[Nuckles]

So...odds on Horvat playing? We seem to enjoy putting injured players in the lineup this year, and I can imagine Willie/management doing anything to keep this team in the playoff picture.

 

[wonton15]

I seriously hope Bo sits for at least a game. Knowing this team though he'll play through it.

Eh but they might let a fourth liner like Bo sit. Chaput scored two goals last game, he can handle both roles.

Jokes aside, really hope he sits. Unlike everyone else on the team, kid didn't get to take the All-Star break off. Would MUCH rather he deal with all the other bumps and bruises now rather than risk tweaking something worse.

 

[kanucks25]

Call up Gaunce and stick him in between Hansen and Burrows. Let him show if he can do anything with better wingers.

 

[VanillaCoke]

80/20 He plays....

Same odds he gets more injured by dojng so.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

No Bo, no chance.

5-1 Pens.

Loui with the lone goal.

 

[VanJack]

Smelling a blowout here....Sid the kid breezes through the 1,000 point plateau seven seasons before Hank.....Willie will start Miller, but guessing he gets the hook in this one....7-3 shootout game sounds about right.....Granlund continues to shine and a strong game from Burrows again ups his trade value....still hoping that Boucher can get off the schneid with a pp goal.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks better be damn careful how they handle Horvat. They aren't offering him anything except salary. Good luck keeping him!

 

[Nuckles]

Alright, maybe they aren't playing Horvat tomorrow.

 

[VanJack]

Alright, maybe they aren't playing Horvat tomorrow.

Does this mean Willie will be forced to use Gaunce in a more offensive role with some decent wingers?....or does he move that lethal sniper Chaput further up the lineup?....sorry, had to ask...but we all know the answer.

Yeah we all know the answer.

Probably the line will be Boucher-Gaunce-Skille and they will play fewer than 5 minutes unless it really is a blowout.

I was looking forward to this game..but with no Bo in the lineup,it's going to be hard to compete ..especially with a challenged forward group like the Canucks ..

I thought they could have gone .500 on this tough road trip,but any injuries to key players will definitely throw a blanket of doubt on that.

Yep...2-4 roadtrip likely...just can't see W's in either Pittsburgh or St. Louis...no Bo and Baertschi means they're missing two-thirds of what has been their best line, despite what Willie thinks.

But looking at it positively, Jimbo has no excuses for not being a 'seller' at the deadline.

 

[TruGr1t]

Probably no Horvat.

Pens must shut down our dynamic leading scorers, Granlund and Sutter, then.

 

[yvrtojfk]

5-2 Crosby with the Hat trick.
