[Pancakes]

Toronto's goaltending is f***ed. Should be able to generate some offense.

42 save shut out incoming

Really? Samsonov has a .921 save %, a lot better than both CDS and Jarry…also, would it surprise you to know that Matt Murray is returning and maybe just in time to stick it to his old club? Lol

Samsonov is hurt I thought. And so is Murray. MM might come back tomorrow I guess. We'll see

He will get hurt trying to stick it to us.

If anything, those two would be better than that .860 AHL goalie Toronto has been trotting out…Pens would make him look like the next Vezina winner…

 

[metalan2]

Ty Smith get called up?

 

[Gurglesons]

Ty Smith get called up?

If Blueger is healthy we can’t call anyone up and will have to send Poulin down.

 

[Clare2904]

I take it Jarry will be in goal so I get DeShit again tomorrow in Montreal

 

[Zbynek]

Keep Kap in the press box and win games.

 

[ColePens]

@Ugene Magic my deal was what got us 3 Cups in this era! And a lot of pain afterward.

Now this weekend I make a second deal as I'm getting married. Will not be watching ANY penguins this weekend.

 

[LOGiK]

So the penguins have two games in hand on WC2 and only 1 game on WC1 but both have 5-point leads... so...
If that gap gets any bigger that could mean trouble.
Two wins here puts them into the fray of the fight.
Two losses is pretty rough. Especially if WC teams win... (Toronto potentially being a WC (same points as WC1/2 @ 17)) all with teams like Tampa, Washington also not even in a WC spot... penguins really have a marginal task ahead of them.

Need two wins in the next two. They drop low if they lose. Then they'd be.... possible 5-9 points out of a wc

I thought you already got married.

Congrats…enjoy!

We rarely win in MTL, so I would expect a split…

Might be for the best.
Jarry's been outplayed so far.

 

[Clare2904]

Friedman up
Poulin down

 

[Gurglesons]

We recalled Friedman.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Friedman recall tells me that POJ and Rutta injuries may not be severe and he is simply insurance. Maybe he and/or Ruhwedel play a game or two.

If it was long-term, I'd assume Smith would be up.

 

[SEALBound]

Interesting choice. I thought for sure it was Smith's time.

 

[The Old Master]

We recalled Friedman.

 

[dogthateats]

You guys thought wrong

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Rutta and POJ both skating. Friedman not with the team yet. So that's why no Smith.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Great to see those D injuries won't be long term. At long last, it seems the gnome's gotten bored of torturing us and moved to DC.
