Crosby Out With Broken Jaw

[bringitonhome]

Crosby, Malkin, Neal and Martin skated before pens practice this morning. About a 45 minute workout for all.

[joopen]

Neal just joined the team for practice per Pens twitter

Edit: Sweet, Malkin too!

[bringitonhome]

Letang not at practice. Whhhheeee.

[pens2005]

Letang not at practice. Whhhheeee.

Is it a mandatory practice?

I believe. Could be a maintenance day I suppose.

suspect due ice availability that Crosby will skate the game day skate with the team tomorrow in Ottawa. But that we shouldn't read anything in to it.

I suspect he skates tomorrow with the team. And plays Tuesday or Thursday. No way they put him in during the Ottawa game where they will be looking for blood.

Let's not forget that the Sens are in the playoffs as well and can't risk doing anything stupid. I bet maybe Cooke gets challenged to a fight, but that's about it.

As I stated above....Letang didnt practice and his equipment isnt packed for travel. Why play him? Injury?

[bringitonhome]

Letang was ill today. Ahhh...I feel better now.

[pens2005]

Yes and Malkin is not making the trip.

I feel Malkin is more hurt than anyone suspects but I could just be paranoid about it and they are just resting him in these last couple of meaningless games.

I really think that malkin will play the last game of the season and be fine going into the playoffs. Maybe even the last 2 games of the season.

all star penguins not making the trip to ottawa~ sid, gene, martin and james neal. All will skate, and /or practice in pgh tomorrow. would they fly letang to ottawa if feeling better tomorrow ?

Letang took a high hit at one point. Hope his illness isn't concussion symptom related.

Truthfully I'd rather rest them all til game 1.

[itissteeltime]

Letang "ill" haha.

I feel like it's sortof cowardish if we were to intentionally rest any decent players, I'm sure my friends will make fun of the Pens for that. But, I'm for it, no reason to risk anything.

[littlemoonboot]

If there is one game I care least about who's playing, it's Ottawa. They won't go Islanders but they would be chippy.

Rest before the war!

[littlemoonboot]

And it's curious that Bylsma had said Martin was most likely to return soonest or possibly before the playoffs, but it's not like he's miles ahead of the other guys as far as working out, skating and practicing. Maybe it's more that he's the only one that has an obvious timetable, he doesn't have step by step hurdles of progress and need for doctor approval like Sid and Neal have.

I hope by Neal they meant Sid.

This is **** ****,

[MRandall25]

Holy crap. Chill out.

[FreeCandy44]

All of those ** mean business!

[SoCalPenguin]

Chill out what? He's going to win the **** award. That's the bottom line.

The probability that he could be robbed like 3 years in a **** row is more or less zero and so its an unacceptable result. I'm going to be royally pissed if he isn't in the lineup by Tuesday.

When the **** is Mike Green going to shoot a puck into Ovechkins face. I'm patiently waiting. When the **** is that going to happen?

You are asking me to chill out and I'm telling you I'm unwilling to accept this happening every **** time. He's earned and deserves it.

Enough.

[MRandall25]

Sure, he's earned it. But swearing and complaining about it isn't going to do anything about it.

Chill out.

[sil]

Dude, did you put your mortgage up as collateral on a bet for Sid to win the Art Ross or something? It's not worth getting this worked up over, really.
