[Lomez]

What about?

Hagelin-Bonino-Kessel
Sheary-Cullen-Kuhnhackl
Kunitz-Fehr-Hornqvist
Sestito-Sundqvist-Bennett

Daley-Schultz
Pouliot-Dumoilin
Lovejoy-Cole

Zatkoff

I'm opposed to Zatkoff simply because it is torture to see him in the net.

 

[Nakawick]

I do hope they rest Letang and go with
Dumo Daley
Cole Schultz
Poo Rev

Good, rest Sid and Letang (play DP). If MS actually does this, I respect him even more.

 

[MtlPenFan]

Mole Rat!

 

[Ogrezilla]

Good call, but now I feel bad for the dude coming from Australia

 

[fauxflex]

I meant what i said. If those 2 teams don't win then the Flyers have 2 must win games. If those teams win Flyers are pretty much toast. Can't see them winning both games.

Um, yeah, well even if one of them loses, that team will have 93 points. The Flyers would then only need to win one game to get to 94 points and claim that last spot. So, if they beat the Pens today, the Sunday game against the Isles is meaningless. Not sure how that equates to "2 must win games", but you keep thinking that if you must.

Agreed. Man I wish the Penguins would realize that he had come all the way there. Maybe he could get a locker room tour or something. Or at least some kind of signed jersey or something.

I'm sure if someone tweeted about it they would mention him during a break in play.

Wait Beau is playing? Wasn't he injured?
Also, you feel bad for the Australian guy? Feel bad for the rest of us too. We are risking our lives out here

 

[Ogrezilla]

@Pens Hey this dude named Toxic Holocaust will be in from Australia! Sad he's missing Crosby!

Oh wait that's right, it's a road game. Welp.

 

[jjp66]

Am I the only one here who would rather us face the Flyers in the playoffs than the Bruins? Boston has been giving us fits over the past few years now. We've shown we can handle Philly this season.

He was "injured" I think. I think he's been playing with an injury since he came back.

And I've been to games in Philly. Luckily, I was in a group of about 16 Pens fans. Some dude still got in my face. Though I was drunk and obnoxious, so I probably deserved it

Stay safe.

This years Bruins aren't the same. I am not worried about them. I want to avoid speedy teams like NYI myself.

It doesn't matter who I'd rather play. I will always want the Flyers to lose. I dislike Boston, but it doesn't even compare to Philly. Unless a Philly win is necessary to get the Pens into the playoffs, I will root for a Philly loss every single time.

Also, it probably doesn't matter because I'll be shocked if either beats the Caps.

This reminds me of when these two dudes came all the way from Germany this year to watch the Thunder play, specifically for Durant.

And he didn't play that game

It is unfortunate.

After the game when we go out to eat I am for sure leaving my jersey and stuff in the car haha. I trust security at the games but not South Philadelphia haha. Hopefully it is fun. Rarely do I get to enjoy a hockey game without stressing over the outcome. This game is like a perfect win-win situation for us so it should be fun and I won't need to yell

 

[Asuna]

Oh yeah. Doesn't this game start at 3:30?

 

[Coastal Kev]

Woo Hoo, Kunitz has been replaced!

 

[Headshot77]

woo hoo, kunitz crosby has been replaced!

ftfy

That might be a good idea. We had people come up to us in the street after the game too. But again, there were a bunch of us, so no issues. The game I was at was during the baseball playoffs when the Philly's were playing. We went to go to a bar after and got told we couldn't come in because they didn't want 15 people in Pens jerseys in a bar full of Philly sports fans. We ended up buying some 6 packs and going home instead of going out.

What a ridiculous night. The Philly crowd boo'd a 6 year old that night. They did a kids game between periods and only one kid scored. They asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said "A Pittsburgh Penguin" and the place just lost it

 

[TheFlightlessBird]

I thought the pens were out of call ups. Did they fabricate an injury?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

A win today would be glorious
