Truly a must win game today. If they lose, I don’t think it’s happening
Even if they win it’s not a guaranteed playoff spot. It’s truly an uphill batte for these pens
Here we go boys
Lets hope eller can go, if not though i think big Z is game. He still has as many or more points than players like harkins even though he's been in the ahl most of the season. I wouldn't even mind seeing him replace any one on the 4th line. In fact if eller can go why not use Big Z as 4c and slide carter back to the wing were his lack of speed isn't quite as apparent and he can slide over for face offs. Lets go Pens!!!
They are all must wins.
Will not have to win one more than their opponents, only need to tie them at this point.
If Zohorna plays to his full energy potential he will be GREAT! If not he could be a liability…if it were anybody other than the Wings, Copp maybe out too so that will magnify any lack of depth.
Any idea what caused this team to start defending and finishing? Where did this surge come from? In some games they are flat footed and could care less, then suddenly like a switch here they come. Its really odd.
FUEL! Nice hat Nick Horwat.
So do you think this team's play lately has been them finally figuring out their chemistry? Or just pure willpower for the playoffs? I'm hoping this is sustainable for next season!
Lost me when you started with the Golf garbage . I thought this was a Pens channel .
Carter will be 3rd line center
Why in the wide world of sports would you mention Louie Domigue??? What an embarrassment. Brlansky is Belsky or Buttinsky now?? Thank God for Nick Horwat, he's the reason I watch these shows because he REALLY knows hockey- not so much for Blinky or Boobly or whatever he's calling himself now.
LET'S GO PENS! Pens vs Wings. Sid, Geno, and Letang from 2008 and 2009 vs the new Red Wings for the playoffs. Seems fitting.
Don't talk golf, talk scoreboard watching tonight. Caps vs Sabres. Islanders vs Montreal. Flyers vs NYR.
