Oh yeah, I agree. I don't think he targeted Sid, he was hitting high all night (elbowed Guentzel in the head) and has a history of hitting high.

They should get Aaron Asham for tonight, throw some cross checks to the neck.

Thank you. I've been hoping someone else might offer this stance. It was a chicken wing elbow. That would be like saying an MLB pitcher intentionally hit a batter with a change up. Just doesn't happen.
- Tonybere


More like the pitcher was throwing fast balls at every batter's head no matter who was up.

That's what I was getting at. He was prepping for a high hit. It would have been totally different if he just went in for a squared up hit. He may have still wound up getting his shoulder into Sid, but it wouldn't have been Trouba's fault at that point.

Oh please retaliate tonight! Please make Reaves earn his $$$ tonight

Who said retaliate?

And you're basically verifying that you guys are classless fans who realize your team isn't as good as ours.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.... one of these things is not like the other.
- j.boyd919


I would never argue the point of the elbow to JG at the start of the game. Dirty and unnecessary. And not good for the optics of what followed. But, have you ever thrown an elbow at someone? The way Crosby got hit is absolutely the weakest way it could be done. Not exactly the choice of someone who is head hunting.
Anyway, I know I am unlikely to sway anyone here, so I'll go.

Obviously, I'm hoping for a Rangers win, but I'm also hoping for a good, hard game with no one hurt, on either side. I don't hate your team the way some do. Best of luck in the future!

I won’t be surprised if Malkin fights Trouba tonight. I would rather someone just fight him right away than have a scrum every whistle. Maybe Boyle but Malkins the only one I can think if that probably doesn’t give a poop what Sully says.
- Grinder47

There's 0 reason to fight. If you go into the game with a need for revenge, you are already digging yourselves a hole.

You play the Rangers a lot of times every year. If you really want to make Trouba answer the bell, make him answer it next season in a meaningless game.

And Boyle aint fighting lol.

Zucker rocking that 34.52% CF playing with Carter and McGinn.

It's a shame Sully won't move Blueger up. Zucker-Blue-McGinn could be a solid line.

Fighting trouba will do nothing! A few high hits to kreider and igor may get their attention. If we are down 6-1 with 5 mins left in 3rd then let elbows and high sticks come out!

They're either confident or whining. No in-between.

When you think about how much crap Penguins fans have taken since 2007... all of the accusations, defenses, and arguments made by opposing fans... i dont think anything can or will top the 2022 conspiracy theory of Rangers fans that the NHL wanted a Pittsburgh based team to advance over a New York City team.

Conspiracy theory of some Rangers fans, not all, and certainly not by me. Wishing your boys luck tonight. As someone who hates seeing anyone injured, knows just how good Crosby is and his prior concussion history, hoping no lingering effects.

You're right, Jan. Didnt mean to lump you and the other good ones in with the rest of them.

Should just remove Boyle from the lineup, put in DOC and drop Carter to the 4th line that way you don't have 2 guys skating in mud.

Well, I didn't know this, but 30 years ago TODAY, the Pens knocked out the Rangers without Mario after Graves broke Mario's hand the game before.

DOC looks to be in, but Boyle still in as well.
