QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“My whole career, I've been up and down the lineup – playing in the top six, playing in the bottom six. When you're put in a spot to play the top six, sometimes you can change your game and not play the way you usually play. But I think you learn as you go along, you were put in that spot because of the way you've been playing. You don't have to change the way you play. And for me, that's just bringing a simple game, moving my feet, being physical, and trying to make plays whenever they’re there”

Brian Boyle sucks.

[jsm7302]

Darius Kasparaitis for trivia

 

 

Pens scored 11 the other night; hopefully blew their load and we can outplay them for 60.

[Phil]

1. Gas up Frank's Tank.

2. Evan Rodrigues has a galaxy for a mouth.

3. Trivai is Jaromir Jagr.

[Go Blue]

You know Hunt's scoring now, right?  LOL

[Pete]

Just try and keep it under a touchdown.

 

Trivia is Matt Barnaby.

[Kick save and a beauty]

The Pens shot all of their load and most of next week's load against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

 

I expect as tight a checking game as these two teams are capable of producing and I also expect a freshly moistened Ryan Reaves to finish all of his checks this evening. 

[Keirik]

Kovalev for trivia 

[BrooksBurner]

Strome injury leaves us so weak down the right side again. Hunt top 6 again…lol.

 

Have a feeling it’s going to have to be an Igor game.

[Valriera]

Our second line is really our third line just don't tell anyone, ok?

[CBrowningPI]

I too bought a Sony J90A in beautiful 4K so tonights game will be a highlight of my year providing they win. Rangers 3-2 in OT.

You’ll get an MSG spotlight on Dryden Hunt and like it

[CBrowningPI]

I'm sure MSG got an ear full on social and we shouldn't see that "feature" anytime soon. Hopefully.

Now if only ABC can be persuaded to ditch that fish-eye vertigo cam they have been forcing upon us.
