[Randy Butternubs]

Can't wait to see Glass play against his old team.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Can't wait to see Glass play against his old team.

R. Smith gonna hat trick

... f***ing crybaby ass

 

[farscape1]

So wonder what the Pens lineup is going to be? Do we start Jarry?

 

[SEALBound]

Can't wait to see Glass play against his old team.

About that...

 

[Andy99]

So wonder what the Pens lineup is going to be? Do we start Jarry?

Ned is starting…

 

[Empoleon8771]

Mike Sullivan is legitimately a hockey terrorist, good Christ.

At least they're putting Novak and Tomasino together? Put McGroarty at LW there next year and I like that 3rd line. But poor Malkin.

 

[Andy99]

OMG…poor Geno!
Sullivan hates him

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

At least we have enough players lol

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Novak is wearing 18 instead of 82? f*** that dude, trade his ass.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Man I cannot wait for Sullivan to be fired in 6 years

I can't tell if he hates Malkin or if he's just that dumb. Probably both

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Can't wait to see how Sullivan misuses the roster for this one. Also my goodness I need to watch this game on mute. Jagoff and Shlupp are awful.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

OMG…poor Geno!
Sullivan hates him

I saw that line up and was like wow, absolute f***ing garbage.

Go Vegas.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Rupp acts like the special teams were amazing or some shit. Who gives a f*** Rupp.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lmao wtf was Novak doing? Pass it into the crease when you could take a shot?

Barry maybe wasn't half wrong.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Ned is starting…

At this point does it even make a difference or could anyone tell? Both are steaming piles of turd.

 

[Andy99]

5 shots on goal so far, all by L1 lol…Sullivan really knows how to construct a lineup ..

 

[Khelandros]

Third shot. They have improved vastly during the deadline.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

1 goal on 3 shots.

Lol

 

[Coastal Kev]

Camera shows bench: What a putrid lineup, and that's with Rakell. Take away Rakell, still a putrid lineup.

 

[The GM]

At least we still have Accari and Gryzlck for the stretch run and that one valuable retention slot

 

[sovietsanta87]

1 goal on 3 shots.

Lol

Both defenseman on the same side of the goal.

 

[Al Smith]

Third shot. They have improved vastly during the deadline.

Yeah, but it took VGK a long time to get those three shots. This is a pretty ugly lineup. Only a matter of time before the dam breaks.
