A year ago today I shotgunned a beer because of the Pens. I don't remember the reason but my phone was like "hey remember this video from a year ago?"

If we fire rierden we make the playoffs. There. I said it.
This is from Kan Dingerski but I pass it on for any insight you glean from it lol…
“I had a long chat with a Vegas colleague last night, and we talked about the Penguins game Sunday night. The person I was chatting with knows the nuts and bolts of the game and was impressed with the Penguins. He couldn’t believe that they were the team that showed how to beat Vegas’ stay-home defender style — get the puck behind the goal line and force the defenders off the post to the wall, then slip a forward to the net. It’s gritty, ugly, and winning hockey.
Then I sent him my piece from yesterday that the Penguins can do those things but seemingly insist on trying to beat their Metro Division foes with their traditional speed game. He laughed because it seems a few other teams in the league have that same mental block. The Colorado Avalanche insist on trying to beat Vegas with a speed game because “that’s Colorado’s game.’

Hino skating on his own before practice, according to Taylor…so he’s likely out tomorrow and they don’t have the cap then to make any changes…Carter is playing
Any day that POJ & Ruhwedel don't skate is a good day. Especially since their absence forces the 3rd pairing to be Ludvig-Shea, which is what it should be anyway.
Now THAT's a win-win.
(Or at least the best we can do with what we've got.)

Rickard Rakell will be out longer term Chad Ruhwedel will be out week to week Rust is being evaluated

I mean, that sucks, but the only player that will affect our lineup being injured is Rust. Rakell hasn’t done anything and has looked quite bad recently, and Ruh is addition by subtraction.

All of you people screaming about wanting Puustinen to get a chance, here you go. Either he or Nylander is going to be called up to replace Rakell.

I mean, what teams have 12 top six forwards
There's a reason the designation top six exists

I said Puustinen or Nylander, and Nylander probably deserves it more based on his stats in WBS so far.

Hinostroza scores well at the NHL level, as he's done for us so far. I got zero issues with him in the top-six. I would try Z with Sid too. He can grind down low with those guys and help with possession. Makes more sense than with Malkin imo.
I'm surprised Hino's not hurt.
