Ryan Wilson: Penguins have their hands full with a charged up Lightning team Penguins have their hands full with a charged up Lightning team

Over the last 25 games the Pens are 19-5-1. Only the lightning have a better record in that time. Tonight should be a lot of fun. Lets pray the power play can do something.

I think Doumolin’s loss has greater impact on the Pens overall performance than Guentzel’s. Can’t wait for him to get back in the lineup. Any updates on when that might be? Whoever starts in goal tonight will definitely need to bring their A game. Should be a good test for the Pens.

DK saying Galchenyuk likely will be a scratch tonight

Unless they are getting Kahun back he is better than Agozzino.

Maybe trade? Hopefully...

That's a good guess.

Murray in goal tonight. Jarry definitely isn't the undisputed starter right now.

Snagged lower bowl tix for 100 a pop. Got lucky gambling till the last minute.

What happened to that guy that was always posting in here about watching every Arizona game and convincing us Galchenyuk was going to be good?

Which way will the ice tilt?

It's a safe bet at times it will be in Tampa's.

This game is not about scoring. We will do that. Crasby seems fresh and everybody will rise to the occasion in the offensive end.

BUT, will we keep it in their end more than 50%? Who knows, I'm hoping.

Our speed has to dance around their defense with another player at least intentionally ready to receive a pass quickly. Especially in our own end.

If we can get it out of our own end fairly decisively and limit to 30 shots we will be OK.

Sweet! Party on, dude.

Things aren't sounding so great with Bjugstad unfortunately. Not skating these days.

What was Bjugstad’s injury anyway? I like his game and think he’s a pretty good 3rd line C but he’s oft injured. I’d imagine his value will take a hit when it comes the time to re-sign (or sign) him. $2.5-3M worth maybe?

Supposedly a core muscle injury. Similar to Sid's injury......although they said his recovery time was going to be longer. Who knows really. Just seemed like he was skating for a month and now he's not skating. Gotta be some kind of setback.

Ruh still in on the left side while Riikola continues to be a non-person, smh.

Galch is not a scratch, and it would be nice to see him and his line get more than 4 minutes so the team isn't totally DOA in the third period like in the past 2 games.

I absolutely hate this. Makes zero sense.

You have to feel for Riikola. He's really adapted to NHL hockey this year and has been super solid. I'm also a fan of Ruh, but he's clearly not playing well on his off side.

Make a play Chucky WTF

The Pens really need Dumoulin back soon. It not only means our best D is on the ice overall but finally consigns the Johnson-Letang dumpster fire pairing to the poop can of history once and for all, hopefully.

He needs a fresh start from his fresh start.

It's funny... Cause last year they played Rikki at RD over Ruh. It was every bit as bad as this decision.
