Give it a rest. A squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

Bill,

Why call up Myers and not dress him?

Isn't McKenna still with Lehigh on a conditioning stint?

With both Bailey and Myers sitting tonight I have a hunch they'll play tomorrow. Back to back with travel to the next time zone sounds like a good time to get them in and let them feel NHL game action.

Bailey? I've never seen his name mentioned here.

Fletch said the call up was on merit but it's up to Gordon if he plays. Even if he don't it's advantageous for him to get to be with this team during a good stretch of play to feel out an NHL locker room.

Bailey? I've never seen his name mentioned here.

Got him back in the Leier trade and has been recalled. Dont know much about him.

They likely want him to get in a couple of practices first.

Not going to question sitting Myers and Bailey tonight due to point streak. Hopefully we see them tomorrow night.

Pens are injured but should be desperate. Always a tough game. Hart's first exposure to rivalry.

Play all 60. Cut down on our turnovers. Limit their chances.

Just keep on making predictions for every game and you're bound to get a few right. Heck, you may even match Eklund's success rate.

Hopefully the boys really step it up tonight for Hart to set an NHL record

They need to take advantage of the wounded penguins

George Bailey is a good guy. Had ran the Building and Loan for years. Every time he scores an angel gets it's wings.

Nobody's going to disagree that Hart hasn't played ridiculously well, both statistically and skill-wise. But tonight will definitely be his biggest challenge. Even with Malkin out, this is a Pens team that can flat-out dominate a game when they're on. Hart's gonna see some things he's probably never seen before with guys like Crosby and Guentzel who seem to eat us alive. This one will take every guy minus the backup going hard for 60, and Hart's gonna have to up his game one extra step. Should be fun to watch.

Gordon wants him to get into a few practices before they put him into the fire.

Dude saved his brother from the broken ice and lost hearing in one ear because of it.

Imagine if that movie come out today, where she loses her clothes and he won't give them back...that movie would be banned and protested.

LOL, as I watched it this past Christmas (as I do every year) I thought the EXACT same thing.

Nice to get a penguins fans perspective. 😉

Team I watch the second most, no doubt. And if you think that Crosby and Guentzel don't torch us on a regular basis....I don't know what to tell you.

F the Crybaby.

I am sending one of our service men tonight to the game. Hope the boys bring it for him. Even though he'll be happy just being there watching from seats behind Hart the first and third period.

grrr
