Yeah, seems like Marino is somewhere between Niskanen and Schultz, in terms of the Penguins falling into an anchor for the defensive core.They are. No surprise with Fox. Marino is a found wallet. A mobile, smart defenseman with adequate or better puck skills that just waltzes right on to a playoff team...yeah, bingo. Riikola, in his own way too.

Middle pairing guy who can play in all situations. My unknown is: can he lead a pairing? That's 3 vs 4. There's a difference.Where do you project Marino long-term? Last week I heard Bob Grove, who I like but don't particularly trust when it comes to player projection, declare Marino a future #1 defenseman. While I think he's extremely good and has the ability to be a top pairing defenseman or anchor an extremely strong second pairing (which he's kind of already doing), I don't think he has the "Power Play QB" skillset that would typically be associated with a true #1 defenseman.They are. No surprise with Fox. Marino is a found wallet. A mobile, smart defenseman with adequate or better puck skills that just waltzes right on to a playoff team...yeah, bingo. Riikola, in his own way too.

Somehow 'Pittsburgh Theme Night' didn't sell out yet. WEIRD.

Word. That's what I assumed, though I think he's done enough lately covering up for Petterrson being a dummy sometimes that I think he can lead a pairing.Middle pairing guy who can play in all situations.

Kahun-Malkin-Rust
Galchenyuk-Agozzino-Hornqvist
Aston-Reese--Blueger-Tanev
Johnson-Letang
Pettersson-Marino
Riikola-Ruhwedel
That third line is diarrhea. Horny deserves better.

Simon will be swapped with Horny by the second period.
mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
I expect Horns and Simon to platoon in that spot. Galchenyuk and Agozzino can bring a deck of cards or whatever.

That was facetious. While that was probably one of the best teams they've had during the Crosby/Malkin era. They were also still battling the Sid-concussion demons, and were essentially on constant tilt. Basically one cheap shot from the flyers and every player lost their ****.Delete your post, TL.

I often marvel at the Art Ross banner hanging at PPG and how maybe 7 years ago we had about half of the winners since 1991 or so? We've been lucky
