Pens vs Habs 1-4-20

Post by fractalsteel » Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:23 pm

Jarry is back in Pittsburgh because he will start tomorrow evening. I read the Pens recalled DeSmith but this list doesn't include him.

Well, it looks like no one is giving much true info about Crosby. AT&T said he was skating with the team but I read that he is skating on his own and there isn't a timetable for him t resuming practice. I just read that he might accompany the team on their next road trip next week out West.
Penguins projected lineup
Alex Galchenyuk -- Evgeni Malkin -- Bryan Rust

Dominik Simon -- Jared McCann -- Patric Hornqvist

Zach Aston-Reese -- Teddy Blueger -- Brandon Tanev

Dominik Kahun -- Joseph Blandisi -- Thomas Di Pauli

Jack Johnson -- Kris Letang

Marcus Pettersson -- John Marino

Juuso Riikola -- Chad Ruhwedel

Matt Murray

Emil Larmi

Scratched: Kevin Czuczman

Injured: Sidney Crosby (core muscle surgery), Nick Bjugstad (core muscle surgery), Brian Dumoulin (ankle surgery), Justin Schultz (lower body), Jake Guentzel (shoulder surgery), Sam Lafferty (illness)

Apparently, DeSmith lost his passport. Can’t make this shit up... :lol:

What a strange game. Domi could have the hat trick because the Pens defense keeps giving it to him in front of Murray. Letang and Pedderson have been bad in front of their tender.
Pens PP looks like shit for the most part. Having trouble moving the puck around and they need to establish Malkin with his big shot but they have to rely on him running the show.
PK has been good against a good Habs PP.

Talk about up and down. Malkin has made about four passes that could have been buried but he has been sloppy in his own end.

Team is out of sorts for the most part.

Price has been very good.

We need a few guys on this team to start playing better and burying the puck.

Both goalies have been good so far. The Letang TO was terrible.

Agree, team looks out of sorts. I guess the reshuffled lines just aren't clicking yet.

Hopefully they improve and get some guys back shortly.

Hell yes Turbo!

That’s exactly who I had in mind with my comment above.
