One game suspension for Letang...

Can't believe the league misunderstood Letang's clean hit... as dirty.
Any hit he has that's truly dirty will come after he leaves the Pens.

Plus, the guy was faking....

LOL you guys crack me up.

I can't bag on Letang. Dude has been targeted ALL season let alone this PO run. His hit was in no way anywhere even close to Orpiks. Nice acting job by the Rag he hit though. And the nhl and officials will just ignore the **** the rags do despite their deserved rep.

Yeah, but at the same time, you just have to be smart. The Caps just had two guys disciplined for bad hits, one suspended for 3 games. Plus, the Pens were up in the game at the time. Play hard, but not reckless. Now, this can be used to rouse the Caps and it hurts the Pens because a guy that puts in a ton of ice time will be out for a game. Pens have to rally, play better D and lean on Murray again. Hope the home vibes help.

I think the Pens can survive one game without Letang. He will be hard to replace no doubt. Now the D really has to keep that puck moving to their offensive guys

Making sure. I was buzzed last night lol

what you talking about Willis? We knew a suspension was coming. Letang made contact with the head. No brainer. We were hoping it was just one game. No one thought Johansson was faking.

 

[USDA#1]

they are going to miss Letang badly, and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they lose Game 4.

Letang is top 5 NHL D-Man....the next man up, isn't.

or they might win without him.

*shrugs*

Sorry that your team is playing golf right now.....and probably poorly. Do they know that a low score is preferable?

Seriously, the League is so inconsistent with it's rules implementation, it is hard to predict how they will rule. Totally arbitrary. Had Orpik not gotten a 3, I doubt Letang would have gotten any suspension. I will always contend that a penalty during the first game of the season should be called the same in the Stanley Cup final. Sadly, it isn't.

C'mon Stillers! Support your fellow PA brotha's. Your Flyers put up a fight

We'll be fine. Gotta believe

**** the Flyers.. still no cups since... oh.. ever

 

[hamster]

If the Pens win tonight, without Tanger, I doubt the Capitals will recover. Easier said than done.

They can do Hamster. Pens need to keep the foot on the pedal once on the board

 

[frank.radis]

Interesting call ups Steve Olesky and Sestito, any chance one or both plays? I say Schultz is in for Tanger

 

[Spike]

Isles choke up loss in OT in a barn burner last night - **** - I really don't line the idea of playing the Bolts - it was a slugfest

 

[thumbring]

Now Fehr is a "game time decision". Good grief, please tell me Sestito isn't going to have to play. This is going to take a Herculean effort by the Pens tonight.

 

[hook]

What the hell ever happened to Sprong?

 

[steel dino]

Is Rust playing tonite?

And I hope Olesky doesn't play like the Slowsky's...

Who in the hell is this guy?

 

[steel dino]

Are the Pens going to take a chapter out of their cross state rivals play book and goon it up with Sestito tonite?

With Letang out...I think dressing him might deflect the Caps a bit....Hmmm?
