I think Iggy will succeed with Sid and Dupers on LW or RW.

But what does DB's NHL success or lack thereof have to do with it? By that logic (buzzword of this thread), why would you read or care about any of our opinions? Or your own, assuming you didn't play top 6 minutes in the NHL.

[Pens4Life]

Put the Kuny on frickin 2nd line LW and Iggy on 1st line RW,dumbass or rather stubborn HCDB

I wish JJ would center 3rd line with Morrow and Bennett...
Cooke - Sutter - ??? 4th

He did.

-Sid not cleared for contact
I (wrongly) assumed that being cleared for practice meant he could take contact. Let's hope he's not been cleared for contact because he can only take contact once he's cleared to play by docs. Sorry if that doesn't make sense haha.

-Bylsma says he's not inclined to break up the Kunitz, Sid, Duper line.
Although, I'm not sure if Bylsma said that today or if he said it a few days after Sid was injured. One has to think the Iginla, Neal, Malkin line not gelling plays a role in all this. And one would hope Iggy's off the LW very, very soon--especially if he's on a line with Dupuis (who can play both wings).

-Third line (Cooke, Sutter, Morrow) staying intact
That line looked unreal last night. Instant chemistry. Will cause nightmares deep in the playoffs (if the Pens make it that far ). Just when you think you have Crosby & Malkin's line under as much control as possible, whoops, you forgot about the 3rd line.

[PensFan1992]

Wait...what's this about Sutter being banished to the 4th line? C'mon, guys.

[pcm]

Whatever line Morrow has been on has looked unreal. He's been the Pens best forward since the deadline. I personally think he unlocks the most potential playing with Malkin-Neal, but whatever. I'm glad he's in the lineup.

[wondermoose]

Putting Kunitz with Malkin to get him kick-started is the most logical move. That line needs some speed AND physicality that Morrow just doesn't really have. Besides, Morrow and Beau ought to stay together because they have been pretty dynamic at times the past couple of weeks.

So if the Isles lose in reg to Buffalo tonight we got em

Yes, sir. They've played the Pens tough this year, but I think that's the best matchup.

Really, any one of NYR, NYI or OTT would be a nice easy matchup.

[neophool]

7 game series i do not want to play OTT.

[Staggy]

I really don't want to play NYR in the first round. I still think we'd beat them but I think we dispatch the Isles or Sens in 5 games max.

[Lt. Dish]

If we play anyone, but especially NYI, then we must stay out of the damn box.

Most succesful coaches were dumb fringe NHL grinders, which makes a lot of sense, too. But whatever, carry on.

I think he should break up the Crosby dupuis Kunitz line if it means taking Iginla away from Malkin.

No he was right. The great owner you speak of was not the most successful player.

Best and most talented of the modern era yes, most successful, no.

^ I stand corrected

I really don't want to play NYR in the first round. I still think we'd beat them but I think we dispatch the Isles or Sens in 5 games max.

honestly now that OTT has Karlson, Anderson, Michalek back i would rather not play them anymore. We would still win but i feel like it would be 2010 all over again where it was too close for comfort.

NYI have to be the best option and if OTT and NYR win today we play the isles. I watched them play BUF last night and they look bad, i know the Isles are supposed to be coming around and have some good players but they still are not good, i think if it was a 82 game season they wouldnt make it.

im hoping to play the ISLES but we can take any of them

About a week ago, a friend of mine from LI who's a real big Isles fan made a comment to me that the Pens were lucky that it was a shortened season... I didn't even bother to acknowledge the comment.
