I actually thought the same when I saw Kunitz back out there after the PK. I get that they want somebody who does attempt to use their body in the corners to compliment 87 and 9, but I was looking for Sprong to be out there at that time, too. Spring didn't see the ice at all in the final 13 minutes ...

I don't see him playing in a top-6 spot on this roster regularly, to be honest. Those lines are clicking finally, and I have to wonder if Fehr returning means that Sprong will see more time on the 4th than anything.

Well, that's a little disappointing to me. Hopefully, Sprong seizes the chance to make the best use of his time possible, assuming they don't send him back before that 40 game mark (for his FA status).

Fehr will either push Porter back to WBS or Sprong to the Q. Neither would surprise me and I don't think either decision is more correct than the other. I'd agree with this, and hope that Porter sticks around in this scenario. He has been more noticeable on the ice (in a good way), and I think it'd...

This may be an unfavorable opinion, but I'm actually hoping that they send Sprong back to juniors before the 10th game. I don't see the 9 minutes he's getting actually being terribly beneficial at this point, and we've still got Fehr likely coming back tomorrow to fill a spot.

Crosby should just retire.

Haha, they just gave the kid who had the puck stolen from him a Crosby jersey and a puck. That's awesome. It's all over the Internet. Even ESPN (your first source for the NHL, I know) practically has a feature on it. Kid's on SportsCenter's Twitter, the vid of the idiot guy is all over. Dumbass guy...

Duper tried his best to hack that guy's arm off.

My wife fell asleep on the couch at 2INT. If she wakes up and the Pens lost I won't know how to explain it to her.

Explain it to her? Blame it on her.

This is almost comical.

Please tell me that I didn't just see the crowd doing the wave.

Sadly, I'd prefer Scuderi putting the puck on the net to Lovejoy's purposely wide shots looking for deflections.

Not sure if anyone noticed there, but Scuderi took a shot, and it was actually on net. Couple that with a power play goal and Sid assisting on two goals and we've got an episode of Twilight Zone.

Who dropped the ball tonight.

Apparently me but I don't remember signing up for this one, just the Colorado game.

Because I'm at work and I knew I'd be working....


Sorry everyone

Zatkoff looks like a wet noodle between the pipes.

Is it just me, or is Olli Maatta getting outmuscled a little?

It's not just you. He has looked a little tentative since coming back from injury, too.

I'm looking forward to a new backup next season.

That puck had eyes.

In their defense, the TSN guys (along with others) did make that comparison at the draft.

Who does he think he is, Wayne Gretzky?

Same username. Lurked for years, posted for weeks.

Less than a minute in and Crosby has an assist.

Didn't the guy who wrote this used to cover the Flyers on a regular basis? Who the f cares what he theorizes?

Yes, and his streak of being an awful journalist continues.

You're right. Personnel doesn't matter.
