Pens @ Caps GNT | 7 PM ET 12.1.11 | NHLN

[ritari330]

MP85 and Hamrlik are scratches. Hamrlik scratch makes me like Dale Hunter a lot right now.

Same forward lines as the night before:
OV-Backstrom-Brouwer
Eakin-Johansson-Semin
Chimera-Laich-Ward
Hendricks-Halpern-Knuble

Alzner-Carlson
Erskine-Wideman
Schultz-Orlov

Vokoun

Hamrlik said he'd think twice about hitting Crosby because he doesn't want to be the guy to re-injure him. Good for Hunter for sitting him. Plus, he has been horrible this year.

GO CAPS!

I thought you didn't consider the Pens your rival

Let's Go Caps!

Now, now...there's always plenty of room on the Pens hate train.

I still enjoy seeing them lose.

If the Caps aren't fired up for tonight's game (new coach, Pens in town), then there's really something wrong.

Are you saying there would be a big problem on their team?

Trade could be coming in that case.

All you can ask for as a fan is a good effort from your team...Sometimes a bad bounce is the only thing that separates a win from a loss, but if you feel that the team you're rooting for put forth a solid effort, then there's really not all that much you can complain about.

It's when a team just goes through the motions with a heated rival in town is when you need to be concerned.

3rd line has to play well tonight, as well as Carlzner

I was suggesting OV was fat with my post.

lol...He's not fat, just big-boned.

Odd man rush leads to a post shot by Neal. Didn't have a single odd man rush against last game

 

[ritari330]

1-0 Pens. Bad positioning and bad stick work

 

[ritari330]

Erskine and Asham dance for a while. Pretty even.

 

[dash]

Are the early shots on goal totals correct? (TSN has them at 7-0 Pens)

 

[ritari330]

Hey! Lookie there. Guess what line is back together
