Doumalin sucks...Don't bring him back yet until the Pens have clinched the 2nd spot! I demand a 100 point total!!!

I would take Brian Dumoulin in the lineup over Ian Cole in the lineup. Every time Ian Cole gets the puck, he's pretty much guaranteed to turn it over.

Scouty, you are a funny guy



He outperforms Marc Staal in many categories, and this season is easily his best. Staal makes in excess of $5million per and is signed at that rate for years. Dumoulin puts up superior results and costs 800k for this season and next, when he will be a RFA. Dumoulin is going to be a top 4 in this organization for years to come. You can count on that.

Well, they both suck!

When did Marc Staal join the Pens? Dumolin and Cole...neither has a goal at all...and neither is a shutdown defender...they are the epitome of MEH

Meh > Cole

Dumoulin might be the best defender on the team. He's positionally outstanding, both on the puck and away from it, a good skater, uses his reach well, and he is extremely efficient exiting the zone. He doesn't score goals, but he doesn't have to. He keeps the Pens out of their own end and on the attack.

You must be watching a different Dumolin than me...I see him out raced, out muscled and a weak passer. The upside is he's young and should improve...

Pens are crushing the Isles. One more period and the post-season spot will be clinched

 

[Darkstone42]

Clinched postseason. The Phil with another goal streaking down the right wing. Murray with his first shutout. Sundqvist gets his first career goal shorthanded. The Pens thoroughly dismantling a division foe.

Good day.

Wow, what an ass whooping!

"a monster a monster & we keep getting stronger!"

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

With the Blues losing to the Bruins last night, Pens once again have the longest win streak in the NHL (5 games)!

Big game tomorrow vs the Flyers.

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Needless to say, we've been pretty good as of late...

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sabres are beating the Rangers late in the 3rd

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

We're a full 3 points up on the Rangers for 2nd place!

MAF is out with a concussion

Team might have to rally around Matt Murray against the Flyers.

No excuses tho,

Murray looked great today, though. He's a talented goaltender. I think we'll be fine.
