OFFICIAL Gameday Thread: Penguins @ Flyers 1/19/13

Jeffrey over Vitale? why?

[Sarcastic]

I was hoping to see Sestito for the Flyers. Guy hits like a truck and these Pens need to get tested.

[Fire0nice228]

Losing Jagr and JVR has really weakened their overall lineup IMO.. hadn't noticed it until I looked at that lineup.

Also I would love to see Malkin destroy Couturier with a clean hit early.

[Beveridge]

Jeffrey over Vitale? why?

Out of a hundred possibilities, I'll go with having Jeffrey for the PK units today and then a fresh vitale to chase around asham and rupp in new york tomorrow.

[Gaucho]

Jeffrey over Vitale? why?

Versatility, more offensive upside. Way more.

[ShaPe]

I cant sit still anymore!
walking around and just want the puck to drop

[TangerBell45]

Trying to sleep today was pointless.

It's like Christmas Day for us..... haha

Let's go boys!! Let's go Pens!!

I'm pretty sure Jeffrey is in there in case Tangradi craps the bed in the top 6.

[netwolf]

Nice spoiler, OP. I dig it.

Fine w/ Jeffrey in, but id rather have the younger, faster Vitale in over Adams. That said, most games don't hinge on your 4th line.

Go Pens.

Yeah they basically have 2 third lines now. Briere too would change a lot. we will see how that plays out.
Still will tough to play against but scoring goals has to drop a bit.

[Bowser]

There's no way you can have a pre-game thread without this....

[Matthew Monstar]

[Pitt87]

Have a feeling Sid is going to go off. All accounts have been that his fire is burning hot right now.

LETS GO PENS!!!

[Fire0nice228]

just got out my Pens beer mug that I havn't used in like 2 years.. it was time.

[Pavement]

Great to be back watching the Pens and what a game to start with. Lets Go Pens!

[Bowser]

@Netwolf - I agree.... at some point we all can appreciate the dedication and importance of Craig Adams but his lack of skills and speed are going to catch up to him.

Elf man is out for the flyers

lol

I suppose that is possible.

[Fire0nice228]

Good call on Briere being out, I forgot. Thats good news for today. And he certainly adds some 2nd line firepower to their lineup

[Lt. Dish]

Overhearing (hub's watching) Compost SportsNet is acting like our fragile, flailing team is walking the gauntlet today--with a veiled implication that the Pens have never, ever beaten these guys in any game that has mattered. And, "until someone proves otherwise," last playoffs does indicate that Jeroo is the best player in the world.

The lack of perspective and what passes for pregame coverage here is unbelievable. Not at all surprised; it just makes me smh every time.

Diffuse this nonsense. Get a good road road win, and get off to the Garden.

[nocera]

I have to work at 3:30, so I'll be enjoying the game on delay later on today. Get us a win, fellas.

Don't fotget Matt Carle... he consumed a ton of minutes and was a real anchor out there for them last year. All that, plus Danny Briere is out...

Giroux's gonna have to prove it.

[Sylvain]
