Sparknotes

- Montreal 20 - 6 - 5 in 31 games played for 45 pts, second in the Eastern Conference
- 7 - 2 - 1 in their last 10 games played
- 11 - 2 - 2 on the road, pretty formidable, very similar to the Pens
- P.K. Subban, will he try to cut off Sutter's foot?

- Pens in the midst of [CENSORED] streak.
- Morrow and Letang in tonight, no Malkin
- Murray will not play tonight

Plots and Sub-Plots



Michel Therrien returns to Pittsburgh for his first game behind the bench at Consol Energy Center, and his second meeting with his former NHL employer this season.



Brenden Morrow joins his new team, and will be paired with Neal flanking his right, and either Jeffrey/Sutter anchoring.



Letang was removed from the IR, and will play tonight. Despres was sent down to accomodate Letang and recent roster moves.



Continued big expectations from our first line, with Malkin still absent.

1.) Max Pacioretty - 9g - 16a - 25pts
2.) Tomas Plekanec - 12g - 10a - 22pts

4.) Andrei Markov - 5g - 16a - 21pts

On Thursday night, Tangradi is going to wish he was back in the whelping box.

Was Morrow saying that "he doesn't know what's going on" with his body right now? It's called puberty, Brenden...

I can't image the feeling of instantly being put in the position to possibly accomplish a lifetime goal.

Ryan Mill really puts the "a" in "panguins."

Sigh, what does Vitale have to do? Adams and Glass over him. I realize they kill penalties, but Glass has done nothing, and Adams has a 40% faceoff rate.
I feel so bad for the guy, but DB likes his vets, even if they do nothing. (Glass)

Let's hope Morrow's debut is a good one.

Glass hits people, it's kinda his whole purpose in being here.

[DocEmrick]

Bennett on the fourth, whatever. We'll see how Morrow does.

Really looking forward to this one. Highly doubt it will be as wild as the last game that turned into a scoring fest with sketchy goaltending on both sides, but this should be a good game and looking forward to Morrow's Pens' debut.
