Buffalo in early running for Connor McDavid lottery.

Will be there so expecting to be entertained. Is asking for 8 too much?
I hope not DJ!
My only fear is they relax a tad after that excellent LAK game and figure they can mail this one in and still W.
Actually this might be a telling game in that regard….what do you think?
I see we have Greiss in G. Prolly good choice.
He deserved better last time out and I hope the team remembers that.
Go Pens is Harrington getting in or are D pairings the same?
Good question, dunno…are lineups posted on Pens Twitter? I hate Twitter…..
My DirecTV listings say game is on NHL Network alternate channel. I hope so. Looking forward to it.
have to say the game other night vs Kings was so enjoyable…great hockey…Pens looked like the Bruins..loved it
I think even though these West games have less meaning in the standings, we should pay close attention. Pacific hockeybus MUCH more physical (OK dirty lol!) than much of what we see in the East. I have some pals who are in LA and they basically said all that slashing we saw…
Was a TAME game by LAK standards.
I responded that “your team is DIRTY!” And they just laughed.
Better get used to it, and more important, go after THEIR stars as much as they go after ours.
Screw the Bruins they looked like what they should have been doing the last 3 or 4 years.
Please do not get me started on the Bs LOL.
My last job I had a home office in BOS and good God the fans were insufferable. One of the few teams that makes me want to actually HURT somebody seriously. I say this after 25+ years of playing hockey.
Steer clear of Hacking Sarah!
My dear I am smart enough to let my D do the hacking for me LOL!
So much for Greiss
Go Pens! Please avoid the trap game.

@Sarah: I saw your comment about Jandy and HM leaving for personal reasons. Was there an indication they’d be open to returning or was the leave of absence to be permanent? If you can share, that is.
What’s that all about?
Hey –
Oh dear I think this insensitive territory and I really don’t have both sides of the story. As I said, I’m sorry you to see them go as they were part of our community since way back.
I’d suggest you ask DK directly for more details.
My sense is they’ve been banned ….as I’ve seen their comments deleted….hope that is not the case, and could be coincidence.
Again, suggest you check w DK.
Ok, then I’ll take it to be “none of my business” territory. Thanks though.
Let’s see if Ehrhoff has any pride. If he doesn’t get up for a game against a team that bought him out when will he?
I don’t think there was any animosity. You cannot have competent D-man on the ice when your goal is drafting Connor McDavid.
That didn’t take long!
That seemed like a pretty relentless attack by the 1’s.
I’m sure if there was a video of how MJ wants a breakout that’s it. Sid flying through the neutral zone driving the net and the wingers just behind to clean up the garbage!
Nice goal
Sid, come on…..
Sigh, why would Sid bother with pulling that sort of crap? Just continue to put rubber behind the net.
As a Captain of a Cup-winning team, especially embarrassing.
As a goalie, I can tell you that is the kind of thing where I happily tell my guys “wreck that azz!”
Just stupid and petty.
Yeah no need for that crap from the Captain.
Man, I can’t stand Steigy. ROOT sports HAS to know what a dumpster fire he is
I turn on Mike Lange and try to synch itnw the TV. Steigy is past his sell by date, sadly….
One of the worst homer announcers in the league. I’d only rate Jack Edwards as worse.
Being in the owner’s inner circle provides job security, or in the case of an assistant coach provides a job.
BTW I started late, did they say why MAF not Greiss as originally planned?
Coach Johnson said that he sees MAF in a zone and is gonna ride him right now
I saw some stat where he’s best on a 1-2 day rest….could be the right move!
Buffalo is missing…um, an important part of their anatomy.
If Sid tried that on say Rask or Quick, teensy bit different reaction.
As in, there would have been one.
Shouldn’t have let big John Scott go.
I missed it. What did Sid do to him??
He just skated by the blind side and clipped the goalie from behind. Not very hard, but intentional IMO, and a total punk move. He does not need to be reinforcing THAT particular meme. Against Buffalo for cripe’s sake.
Then that’s the second time he did something like that — clipped the goalie behind the net in passing by in an earlier game…don’t remember which one… and didn’t get called for it.
Really no excuse. I have torn cartilage in my knee from that same move. Punk.
I remember that, Genez. Detroit, maybe? Regardless, there are a lot of cheap shots on Sid every night. But, going after goalies is not a reputation he needs.
Ryan McDonagh looked to have suffered a legit shoulder injury tonight. Big loss for Rags if so
Malkin is over passing big time tonight
He needs wingers….
Beau coming soon
For 1-2 games before getting hurt again?
Hah! Poor kid,much a potato chip. Fingers crossed he lasts this time. Let’s go for say 10 games LOL!!
That may be true Sarah… but Geno at times gets into that blind pass mode to phantoms.
Goc would like some wingers for Malkin, then he could skate with some actual NHL caliber players.
Yessss!!!!
Thank goodness this game was getting boring
Wow, beer league D there. Seen it many times lol!
I see white, that should be a goal
Pretty weak call on Sid
Make up for the play on Enroth
Apparently the replay at consol and on ROOT Sports is better than that the NFL had to view because it was obvious to anyone that was a goal. Don’t know how much more white they need to see between the pick and the line. That’s two games the Pens got robbed.
Sorry. Meant NHL. Stinking auto correct.
Awesome pp seriously
Wow. Unstoppable.
Oh wow, that was a pretty PP goal.
Insane one touch stuff there
