hopefully jarry is rusty and crosby gets laid out in his first shift and is a non-factor.

Pens will probably come out flying due to the Jarry-Crosby factor.  We must play good disciplined hockey and hold down the fort for the first 10 minutes.  We can't expect to come back every time.

[Blue Heaven]

Brian Boyle out tonight

Not that I’m concerned but how is the nhl supposedly so worried about player safety allowing Crosby to play three nights after what is probably at least his third documented concussion?

Maybe it’s not a concussion?!?! I would hope that the Pens would be truthful with the NHL whether it’s a concussion or not. 

[RichieNextel305]

I believe this is all gamesmanship and that Crosby and Jarry are both out tonight. I understand the guessing games you want to play here, but why not show your cards when it comes to Crosby? He’s either in or he isn’t, and you know the Rangers are preparing for him to play. If he was going to be in, I feel like Sullivan would have just said it.

 

In Crosby’s case, I get it he’s skating but you’re talking about his career and livelihood here. Do you really want to put either at risk here? I can’t imagine they do.
