GET HYPED

[columbia]

Jarry the likely starter.

[Gaucho]

Makes sense.

[nocera]

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

[Gaucho]

Confirmed: Jarry i net. Dumo and Roodle GTD.

[slappybrown]

Have a good feeling about the switch and its current flipped status

Bruce Cassidy says there is one question mark up front tonight, which will be a game-time decision. Tuukka Rask starts between the pipes.

[Gaucho]

Tips to win: kill their first line during the anthem and proceed from there.

[meow]

Excellent decision to start Jarry.

[Blue Canary]

Excellent decision to start Jarry.

I like it.

This is a huge test at a critical time.

Do it, Pens, damn you.

[shafnutz05]

Excellent decision to start Jarry.

Hear hear!

Dilly dilly*

[E-Ramone]

Is Oleksiak a scratch tonight then?

[BigMck]

Sprong

For tonight's tilt.

[Gaucho]

[columbia]

That Cole situation is increasingly odd.

[Gaucho]

LET'S GO PENS!!!

[mikey]

How so, columbia? He was getting docked time even without his heir apparent being acquired - Big Rig, of course. What's your view that elicits that word "increasingly"...?

There’s been nothing glaringly wrong with his play; at least prior to the initial benching. I’m not mad, just more curious about the intangibles behind his fall from grace.

[mikey]

Gotcha. Yeah, I would question it less if he had been scratched against the Isles (was someone else dinged up besides Dumo? Hunwick maybe? I forget) - I don't think he had a very good game against Carolina. He got worked a couple of times and then failed to get underneath Sebastian Aho in the slot leading directly to a goal...but then he was in in a b2b scenario vs. the Isles. Frankly, I thought his game against the Isles was pretty strong, or at least like you said, "nothing glaringly wrong"...and then he sits against Boston before a long break...hmph...

Not that this collective knows anything but how many times have you read some after game thoughts about Cole sucking? Perhaps sub optimal, but it seems like he’s been within the range of what’s expected. Maybe it’s down to not sacrificing his body, as he has in the past.

[meow]

Foreskin and Brickley?! WTH?

[mikey]

Not often, but we rarely say that about anyone except the stars and goalies anyhow haha...

Anecdotally, in my fourth line video that I made, Cole inadvertently looked pretty horrific and it wasn't even geared towards d-men

[Gaucho]

6-5 Pens
