What is a Chris Summers?

[Waffles]

I'll be at the game tonight with @Durbano if anyone else will be there.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I hope the Pens troll and do another banner raising ceremony.

If only.

[dodint]

The Pens should hang a banner in DC, they own the place.

[Dickie Dunn]

Will Reaves kill Wilson tonight? I hope the answer is yes.

[Waffles]

Will Reaves kill Wilson tonight? I hope the answer is yes.

I thought Wilson was still suspended.

Well then I guess the answer is no. **** waffles.

[Silentom]

I'd settle for him plastering grape ape into the boards.

For Washington: Christian Djoos checks in for Taylor Chorney...which means Aaron Ness stays in, prepare to be a dash 3 tonight buddy...and Australian Nathan Walker checks out, Tyler Graovac subs in for him...

[mikey]

For Pittsburgh, it sounds like Patric Hornqvist will give it a go tonight...Scott Wilson checks out. Hornqvist will play on the right of Greg McKegg and they'll be joined by Connor Sheary. Hagelin slides up with Geno and Phil.

[count2infinity]

Any news on my boy, COLE!?

[dodint]

He pronounces is "Cooooouuuuu" now.

[mikey]

I think he's skating. I don't think we'll see him today or tomorrow. Chad Ruhwedel is in his place. Chris Summers was recalled in case something goes wrong...

[Orlando Penguin]

Nice to see the Penguins bringing Lord Stanley for his annual one-day trip to DC. I always like to make a joke to Caps fans to get a good look at it now because it's the only time all year they'll see it in their city.

[Jim]

I hope the Pens troll and do another banner raising ceremony.

That would be EPIC since the game is in DC...

[Jim]

What is a Chris Summers?

I was just wondering WHY Chris Summers over other, younger, options that may actually have a change of being a #5-#7 in the NHL when they are Summers' age?

[mikey]

Summers is recalled to be a healthy scratch. You want the younger players to play in the minors. Not gallivanting around the country watching NHLers play right now...

I'm excited for when the Pens recall forward Dan Smith from BYU to sit and each nachos and people freak out about Sprong on ZAR not getting called up.

[Jim]

Understandable.

[Waffles]

Updated with lineups.
