The nice thing is based on how we played I have next to no hope for success in the playoffs so winning any playoff games/rounds will be a pleasant surprise and losing will be like well duh we all expected it.
I say this now but I know as soon as the puck drops for game 1 I'll still be hanging on every play and pissed if we lose or happy if we win. Oops

It means I'm going to touch myself to those line combos...until I see them in action.

He needs a break to reset. The entire team does.
It's not having Rust and ERod that is making things tough.

Yeah...so I was thinking "If ERod and Rust are sick, why don't they just play Big Z and Angelo/Halinder". So I took a look at Capfriendly...and it turns out that they can't call anyone up because they would be over the cap. So unfortunately if Rust and ERod aren't good to go, then Darren is likely correct...but I would almost suggest that MM gets a few of those forward shifts. Regardless of where he plays, I hope MM remembers that uncalled elbow to the chops that he got from Parise and he returns the favor.

Wouldn't they be able to make an emergency recall if the alternative is to dress less than 18 skaters?
Not when they don't have the cap space for it. At least that is what I am seeing.

Think we'll be ok.
"Game-time decisions" play like 80+% of the time. Highly, highly doubt both will be out.

The Penguins smell of potential decay. Is this the beginning of the end?
The Penguins are showcasing some troubling signs with the playoffs only three weeks away.
Sid was sad so the team is a wreck now ;(

No, they make an emergency recall regardless of cap space once they play a game shorthanded.
They did that earlier this month. Friedman played as a forward for a game when Malkin was sick. They then had two emergency recalls since then. As I understand it, since they've played games since then with a full roster and activated a player from the LTIR (McGinn), they'll need to play shorthanded again before being permitted another emergency recall.

To be honest, I've never really cared about the elaborate GDTs.
Just start with a basic Pens/Opponents thread title with the start time then let people comment and gripe. I can find team breakdowns anywhere, I come here for the hot takes and smoke.
