GOAL: Cooke, Pit (7) ASST: (Milbury, Edwards, Melnyk, Brennan), 8:52

When are they going to stop dishing out quaternary assists? You'd think they were Pez.

Yessssssss..... well done.

Why is Iginla playing the left side and Bennett on the right? Or was that a typo by someone on here in another thread?

Since he's getting confortable Bylsma decided to play him at LW again. Errey comes up with Iggy has to play LW since Neal will play RW. I thought it was a given that Iggy and Neal would be on the right and duper would play on the left with Sid and Kunitz would play LW with Geno. That makes too much sense though.

we all wish this was true... but it's HCDB

And God knows he's clueless.

I just wish he would put them together for a few shifts just to see what happens.

[Dan H]

That was a pretty spin-o-rama by Elias. If it weren't against the Pens, I would have rooted for him to roof a backhand there.

[FreeCandy44]

Hope Geno's parents are in town soon.

[sharpshootr55]

I used to like Kennedy, but man he's just a waste of space anymore.

[Gaucho]

I'm not really into the game, but that was to be expected.

As soon as Sid got clearance, Blysma went back to his zany idea of having Iginla (who has never ever played on the left side) play LW with Neal on the right.

12-71-18 is a major disappointment waiting to happen. 3 shooters on one line... great idea Dan. Ugh.

[FreeCandy44]

Flipping between this game and the draft.

Yeah, not a great season for him.

I'm even less into the draft. I didn't even know it was on.

[penny lane]

Go matt cooke! Late to the game. Watching the njd feed, they are having a youth game onthe ice currently.

A play off year without possibly the nyr, njd, and ha-ha flyboys... but with 4 eastern Canadian teams? Oh my!

From the pens tweet: no, Flower's daughter has not yet arrived. And his wife is not in active labor.

In theory it makes sense. 3 people who can bury the puck, defense doesn't know who to cover, even if they cover two of them 1 can still make it happen. But why take someone out of their comfort where they are producing instead of just putting Iginla on the RW with Sids line... I just don't get it.

Dupuis-Crosby-Iginla
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal

That makes more sense than anything...

Gaucho, are you native to Germany or have you just lived there are a long time? If the former, then you're the first German person I don't really know who's even cognizant of the American football draft.

[FreeCandy44]

The dude on Wife Swap has the best mullet I've ever seen.

Really? Good to know. I thought baby was here. During the NBCSN pregame, they made it sound like she was here and at home.

[Gaucho]

Not breaking up Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis seems to make a lot of sense, too.

[thepittman]

I used to like Kennedy, but man he's just a waste of space anymore.

I usually stand up for him, but he does look out of place tonight.

[meecrofilm]

You see,

Duper-Sid-Iginla
Kunitz-Geno-Neal

is just too, too obvious for Dan, so he has to try and be clever so he can look like a genius.

[DelPen]

I don't have an issue with Iginla on LW with Malkin and Neal provided Corsby, Dupuis and Kunitz are still automatic and we see Morrow' Jokinen and Bennett on the 3rd line and Cooke, Sutter and Adams in the 4th. Top defense will still cover Malkin and Crosby lines leaving Jokinen's line to shred the other team and when they start needing to cover them Malkin, Ignila or Neal takes advantage.

[largegarlic]

Also not a fan of Iginla on the left...no reason to force this when he clearly isn't comfortable there.

[meecrofilm]

Sid and Dupes are beasts this year. Doesn't matter who their third wheel is. You don't eff the rest of the lineup to keep together a line whose main cogs will produce no matter what.
