- Location: Fleury didn't lose the game. He just made it almost impossible for the Penguins to win it.

Did they IR Malkin and add anyone? Read something about Peters from WBS being a potential call up. He's a good FO guy who kills penalties. Since Bylsma doesn't want to try JV killing penalties and wants to play Jeffries now for some unknown reason maybe Peters should get a pk shot

Do we really have to go through this every time Despres is scratched? Could you just wait for them to lose the game before you start your incessant whinefest?

Win or lose it is a poor decision

Once again, a far superior player is benched for NO reason.
Well, he's got to give you something to complain about, hasn't he?
I don't like seeing much better players being strached for worse players. Espeically when that better player has done nothing to get strached.
The Pens are a worse team without Despres in there.

How dare we have opinions. We should just think what the Trib tells us to think.

Despres is one of the pens 6 best dmen. Unless he is injured he should be playing. Period.

Yea there's no reason Despres should be scratched. It's inexcusable. Bylsma deserves to be called out for moves like this.

Don't worry, those excellent reporters from the Trib will get right on that after the game I'm sure.

If that is your standard you must think Orpik should be perpetually benched with some of his play this year

What? Why would he be scratched for that? He blew a tire .... crap happens. He will make mistakes. That being said he is still one of the best 6 dmen on this roster. He should be playing. I dont ***** about Bylsma much but this makes no sense to me.

It's about as lame as criticizing people for not being happy about a coaching decision.
