GDT: Game XVI 1700hrs Pens vs Jerks: We have been streaking for ' 0 ' days

POJ to IR, Harkins up. Probably a sign that Ludvig is close, too.

Can't afford a losing streak against conference/divisional teams. They better come to play in this one.

Assuming this means Shea is in the line up again.

Well, they only have six healthy defensemen at the moment, so yes.

The Nottingham Panthers played the Manchester Storm in the “Adam Johnson Memorial Game” today. They retired Johnson’s No.47, and all in attendance paid tribute to him during the 47th minute of the game.

 

[Super Duper]

Tampa Bay's 4th goal today on pp is exactly what the penguins try so hard to do but fail miserably at

Kucherov is insane to start the season..

Oh and the Knights lost again and started Thompson so they’re planning to play Adin Hill against us…the Flyers are better than the Pens…they play much harder and block a shit ton of shots

 

[Andy99]

Lol

 

[Andy99]

Lol finally made a line change! Rakell demoted

At least Sully didn't put Carter back on the fourth line. Big "Z" up on the 2nd line!

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I wonder how well Zohorna does with Malkin. The one thing about Rakell is he controls the puck well, which works well with higher end players. Zohorna fumbles the puck a fair amount. Malkin and Smith can do a lot of playmaking between the two of them, but Zoho has to be ready for passes and shot opportunities more than he's showcased recently.

Rakell to L3 is textbook idiocy from Sullivan.

Yep….move him to L1

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I am here for the Z top-six era.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yep….move him to L1

If his name was Rust he would be. Saw it last year.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yep….move him to L1

Disagree. Rust is on absolute fire. Wouldn't move him.

Rakell to line 3? you guys enjoy this one. Rust/Rakell swap would have been fine.

Eh. Never been a fan of GCR being locked in, but I’m cool with it for now. We throw up a couple of **** performances this weekend, shake it up.

Sid and Jake don’t need him…we can’t be a one line scoring team

Rust has 9 even-strength goals. Is this really the time to move him?

Yes.

This is about team success. Not individual.

Who says that this change won't help L2 and L3 score?

I like these lines.

 

[mpp9]

Who says that this change won't help L2 and L3 score?

Yeah I think it’s an ok adjustment. If Zoho can play with Smith and Geno, that’s good to know. If Rak can play in a tougher defensive role and the change snaps him out of his funk, great.

Some might have suggested that 0 goals in x games may have warranted a rejiggering of the lines earlier. Better late than never, I guess. Hope this helps get 67 on track.
