Gloom & Doomers---

Im expecting Sid to play tomorrow, unless I hear otherwise.

And if he plays.....OH SNAP!!

 

[JMM]

My head hurts.

They might manage to still win the series, but where are they going after that? Not contending for the Cup that is for sure. Sorry but getting past the first round isn't any consolation for us spoiled Pens fans. Geno can be great when he has to be, but he can't do half the things Sid was doing with Jake and Rust. Those guys are almost hard wired into each other. Can't plug in Malkin and expect the same production in a game or 2.... Just like the Steelers, like I have said many times before its always something.

I just get sick of the same **** different year with it all...

First of all, we still don't know the extent of Crosby's injury, or how long he'll be out. And no matter what his status is, they have to get out of the first round before they can worry about the second round and beyond.

Malkin looked just fine on the first line when they tied the game at 3-3. Or did you miss that perfect backhanded pass in between four defenders right on Guentzel's tape in the slot?

Sure, Sid's been playing some good hockey, but Jake makes him look even better. JG is developing into an outstanding player in his own right. He and Malkin had chemistry years ago when they played together, as did Rust and Geno at times, so I'm not too worried about that trio being able to produce. Carter may have to step it up on the second line, and I believe he is capable of doing so.

Big game tonight. Can they get it done without Sid?

Gonna miss the 1st period myself cause I’ll be at work. Hopefully I tune into a Pens lead tonight

Maybe. I won't be surprised either way.

The crowd NEEDS to be the 6th man tonight. Jump on and stay on the Rangers all game. Don't let them breathe. I don't want to go back to NYC. Let's do this!!!!

I'm aligned with you topseed...except for the vote of confidence on Carter..

I am not high on him and he looks slower than Boyle out there..
If any of our veteran players look old, tried, and slow....its Carter IMO.
Hope I'm wrong and scores two tonite!

Let Go Pens!!

Yes I know Geno is more than capable but he isn't going to do what Sid has been doing. They literally were the best line in the playoffs up to this point. Like we all know Geno doesn't bring it every shift, every game like Sid does. And Jake is a great player but I think a lot of it is playing along side of Sid. Also if Sid is indeed out, which I fully expect he is, I think Rust might be the wild card here....He has been ringing the post lately so he is close. He definitely needs to start scoring now.

I guess we will find out tonight. Or will we? Is Sid going to play? I am betting not.....

I don't see him playing as they brought up Zohorna from WBS.

Can't agree that Carter looks slower than Boyle, and he has played well when called upon to take on a bigger role. Every time.

Well----the turkey is on the table...

Sid is officially out tonight and Rakell is a game time decision. Jarry is practicing with team, but also out. Time to win it for Sid!

Well at least Sid did skate some this morning.....

Trying to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[steel dino]

Need to send a message right out the gate tonite..

Someone needs to land a foreman shiver to Kreiders or the Hungarian Mullet wearing punks "upper body area" right out of the gate tonite..

I hope they called up Zohora because he has sharp elbows!

 

[JMM]

One hour to go.. I'd like to apologize, especially to MTC, in advance.

 

[JMM]

I'm calling out this guy. I want to see an awesome game from Rodrigueez.

 

[JMM]

Ususally break this out for the Steelers but this game is huge. Pens need to come out strong and beat the hell out of the Rangers.
