Game 82!


Recommended Posts

So Penguins fans this is the last game of the regular season! Do the Pens play this game for the fun of playing the game or do they try to keep the Flyers out of the playoffs? I believe if the Pens win they sweep the the season series. Which I believe would be the third series this season! Red Wings and Senators are the other two.

I'd roll all 4 lines equally as long as it remains a close game and let the chips fall where they may.  Same with the D pairings.  I'd especially cut back on Letang's ice time. He's been logging some insane minutes over the final quarter pole. If it's winnable at the end? F 'em. Go balls out. :cool[1]:

The Pens would be petty if it was win to keep the Flyers out.  This is warmup time, this is time to keep honing the game.   Play the same game they've been playing for the past month, that's what's working.

Hopefully the Pens' plane crashes into the Alleghenies and Flyers get the win because of default. :devil:

 

We'll just send in the Baby Pens from Wilksbarre/Scranton, They could beat the flyers too. :ph34r:

If the Marlies can beat us, I'm sure your East Coast affiliate could beat us.

I was certainly surprised by that result last night.  I really expected the Flyers to trounce the Laughs like the B's trounced the Wings.  Getting one point out of the back to back games with Det and Tor was not expected at all.

Honestly I would just to keep him sharp in case he's needed!

 

Oh yeah, I'm sure that's the reason you want Murray to start vs the Flyers

I was hoping to start Zatkoff in order to rest Murray and Fleury is out with a concussion. Besides I wanted to give you guys a chance to beat us so you could have a chance to make the playoffs!

I see the Pens recalled Tom Sestito yesterday, so maybe there's hope!

Bennet played in his obligitory two games prior to being injured, so they needed a replacement.

I was hoping that Fleury would make a game prior to the playoffs.   Doesn't look like it. I'd start Murry.  This is going to be an intense game with the Flyers in full playoff mode. I'd like him to get that kind of experience prior to the playoffs if he's going to start as the number one.

Can't be upset with that game. Was good to see the young guys get some experience there, but you can see what life is like without Letang in the lineup.  Him more than Crosby was missed today. Pens had troubles all day with pressure.   Wish they would have taken more point shots when they had the chance today,

Good thing was the PK doing well again,  too bad on the injury to Murray, Zatkoff was just all over the place, and had trouble with rebounds.   Good on the Pens for keeping Murray out just in case.
