Phlyer1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Will history repeat itself? Crosby due to return against Rangers. Pens are playing good right now do they really want to try a Lindros move and take a chance on messing with the chemistry of the team and risking another injury this late in the season?

Miller Time Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think the last time they lost was the game I was at in Buffalo. We beat them 6-2. I had great seats. I was not at all impressed with them. Maybe it was just a bad game by them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrex Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 @Phyler1How could they not bring him back is the question. The guy is the best player in the world when healthy, and would need to get back into game shape for the playoffs. This actually is the best time to get him into the line up. They need to know if he can go again. I question his health after only a few "symptom free days" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think he's too good for them to get worse with him in the lineup. those stiffs that will be playing on his line won't believe the passes from god that will wind up on their tape. i mean the 87 elevated chris kunitz's game to where kunitz is now considered an elite power forwardwhat's weird though is he and malkenstien do not feed off each other, so i expect 71 to cool off a bit it Crosby stays in the line-up.

sarsippius Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 @Phlyer1No comparison here to Lindros in 2000....88 and his parents and their battles with Clarkie...not to mention 88 had his own enemies in the locker room (my opinion).Sid doesn't have this baggage.

Think of it kinda like when Jeff Carter elevated the hell ouf of his game when Mike Richards was out. Richie comes back in, Carter crashes back down to Earth - even on different lines.

Maybe it was just a bad game by them?That was the day after the wild 6-4 win against the Flyers. Brent Johnson was is net. One of those flat games. Were you impressed when we beat you 8-3? 21-4-1 in their last 26 does not impress you, Rick? Sheesh. If I caught a 3' halibut I'd bet you'd be impressed.

He centered Cooke and Kennedy in practice today. Bylsma kept Neal/Malkin/Kunitz and Sullivan/Staal/Dupuis together.Martin and Letang could be back, too.Finally.

Count on itAll due respect, Rick (OK - not really) it's not the Sabres I am worried about. I'd be thrilled if we "danced"...that would mean the Pens ended up #1 overall and you guys snuck in as the #8. So I'll take your advice and count on it.

mojo1917 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 @AndySoh I watch the pens all the time, where I live in pennsyltucky I get the root sports network, which is silly I'm like 4hours from the 'burg.The only time you see them on the same line is pp and end of the game desperation time. What doom88 described perfectly is what I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
