Riikola not in the line-up? Sad

 

[TNT87]

Lets Go Pens!

If MM allows 3+ goals vs the Canadiens then Sullivan needs to put Jarry in.

 

[Gumbercules]

Really need the PP to be a factor. Only way the Habs keep this series close (aside from Murray being terrible) is if the Pens PP is awful, which it has been too often the last couple of years. Urgency needs to be there on the first opportunity they get.

Riikola not in the line-up? Sad

To be clear I do think there is 1 D and potentially even 2D that I would like to see benched for RR but based on lineups the entire season this was 100% expected.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Let’s f***ing go!

Riikola not in the line-up? Sad

Most likely by game 2 if Johnson isn't good.

Sid loves to play the Habs and will fire the boys up. Zucker will be the finisher Malkin has needed for a while.

 

[pensfan71]

Hopefully that BART line brings mad energy

 

[ColePens]

This is so surreal. I actually feel like a fun nervousness. This is amazing and much needed escapism.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Does the points Sid and Geno get for this round count towards their career playoff totals?

 

[PhilThrillPill]

Does the points Sid and Geno get for this round count towards their career playoff totals?

Yes

 

[Dick Sledge]

Yes

I was curious because I’ve heard if the Pens don’t advance then they don’t “make the playoffs”

I won't be nervous until we go behind

 

[Fatty McLardy]

good luck buddy. hope you win!

 

[Shrimper]

I have to match that.

Not the same stake though

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

let's goooooooooo!!!

I won't be nervous (during this series) unless we lose 2 games.

 

[Gurglesons]

This is so surreal. I actually feel like a fun nervousness. This is amazing and much needed escapism.

Yeah. Anyone trying to make this negative sucks.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I won't be nervous until we go behind

My gut tells me that will be within the first two minutes or not at all.
