I'd put JJ and my Boy Blue in the lineup Friday. Get some guys in who want it.

Sitting Bleuger for Garrett Wilson had me scratching my head. Teddy has to play next game, and I don't really care if it is for Simone or Wilson, but one of those two needs to be in the press box. Also, watching Maatta last night made me miss Jack Johnson. I would take Trotman over Maatta right now.
Agreed, I wouldn't shed a tear if both Maatta and Simon are dumped this offseason. Simon does nothing, and Maatta continually ***** up.

Apparently, the first game they've lost when they've had a 3 goal lead all year.
I don't know what the CBJ Coach said to those guys at the first intermission, but it worked. He should have a talk with Butler/Tomlin.
He said something like

I still see the TB dismantling CBJ in 5 or 6 games, but the little scare should wake the Bolts up. It was a nice comeback.

On a positive. The Pens didn't quit. There was push back and a sense of urgency. Malkin and Kessel played well. I'm looking forward to the adjustment for offensive zone entry and to the D line up. It's far from over.

I have to agree with all of that
if its any consolation, Fleury got bombed by the Sharks, lol

I agree. I know he is young but he's got fire in his gut and found a way to put the puck in the net
Yep. Blueger and Johnson probably could've changed the the dynamic.
Not those two players specifically, but as far as team cohesiveness.
CBJ nearly beat the caps last season.
They have a habit of folding as the series rolls on.
Torts is a crazy *** as far as coaching. He has a way of motivating
Almost have to be certifiably nuts to think Columbus can win the series, which hopefully I am not, but for some reason I feel like they might end up being quite a pain in the *** for the Lightning. Every year there is a team that struggles to make the playoffs, gets hot at the right time and goes on a roll.
And this year I think they are it.
Time for a pregame brew...Hope they can get it done tonight.
Maata out
Blue and JJ in
McCaan out with upper body injury

They flood the neutral zone and dont let breaks get started, they break up yhe pretty passes, Pens cant get any zone time, gotta just dump it n to beat this **** finesses patty cake **** aint working when u only got 2 lines
That score
That score
Reminds me of the Lemieux/Jagr days going up against NJ. Just could never get anything going. Dumping the puck and digging it out wasn't their thing either
Jake needs to get his mind right...
Not being Maata.
Damn CBJ is up 3-0

Yea, he's in the box unlike Maata. Plus the defense is just as bad except that Murray hasn't let in a goal yet. How many odd man chances have they had? The Pens are wanting to hit rather than defend. Nothing wrong with hitting IF it's done at the right time. When you are the only one between your man and the goalie then trying to hit a skater full on is ******* stupid.
