NOTES
Get your SPG picks in for a chance to win a Penguins wall clock courtesy of Carrolls Cove. The contest ends at the All-Star Break, so now's the time to start making your moves. Bryan has a commanding lead over the rest, but that doesn't mean you can't close the gap and sneak up from behind over the next few weeks.
Sidney Crosby will be flanked on the first line by the newly-extended Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy. Expect this to be a regular thing as Therrien seems interested in forcing this onto the ice.
Goligoski will also play wing on the third line.
MAF in net for the Pens.
Hal Gill is a healthy scratch.
I expect big things form the Satan-Malkin-Sykora line.
Also, despite initial speculation from the morning roster that Ruslan Fedotenko and Pascal Dupuis would play tonight, it turns out they are both scratches.

Yeah, Arnott’s 1000th game. I never had an issue with him, so I guess I can sit through it

Slick looking stick. I bet he’s sorry to see the Preds logo on it though.

I’ve been there before. They kicked me out of their aquarium

It’s ok, we can edit her comments to say a bunch of mean things… ;-)

Crappy feed on this game…and I’m talking about the actual broadcast

They’re talking about the new Yankee Stadium but I don’t know how I feel about that. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough (where the Patriots play) wouldn’t be a bad location.

True, but their baseball and football stadium is indoors. Unless there is a big enough college or something…

If Iceland taught me anything, it’s that you go right in there and break it up with brute strength

Nothing can stop the knuckle puck. Even Goldberg couldn’t stop the knuckle puck and he’s as good a goalie as they come

That hat on Crosby’s head has some disgusting sweat stains on it

It’s pretty stupid. Dunman had to explain it to me and it stills sounds stupid

Yeah I saw that. And i have Lehtonen on the bench in my fantasy league :-(

I can never have enough.
Plus, it’s in another league. Henrik tried to screw my stats last night by giving up six.

I’d rather he do it against the Pens. It would be easier to accept

Good first period. Good to see the Pens take a lead even with a one-sided 12-5 shots total.

During this intermission could anyone clarify the pronunciation of “Erat” for me? Is it like “Air-at” or like “E-Rat”?
I’ve heard E-Rat during this game, but to confuse you even further I’ve also heard “Ay-Rat”

Why does it have to be a baseball field as a choice? Why not Giants Stadium and Gillette Stadium? Why does it have to be Fenway and Yankee Stadium for next year’s Winter Classic picks?

I have no clue but I’ll take it. Phew, this is a bit of a relief to see 3-0.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
meh, gross goal to give up. I was really hoping the Pens could go into the third up 3-0

Good puck handling by Satan at least. I’d like to see him break his drought though

This isn’t looking good now. Jeez – and a shorty no less. This is getting disgusting. SOB

I can’t believe Nashville fans have the guts to rag on Crosby. Remind Pens fans to chant “Bankrupt” when the Preds come to Pitt

If we give up goals on the PP, does that mean we score them on the PK?

This is horrid. They deserve to lose this friggin game. This is ridiculous

They won’t fire him on a road trip, but I’d try and sneak into the office next week if I were him.

I have to say – a NASCAR driver talking football is the greatest intermission interview EVER.
Let's go Pens!
It’s not just that, it’s a NASCAR driver talking football at a hockey game

Wow, that’s a gross looking pizza and a ridiculous partnership they have with them

Whoever this backup goalie is, he’s doing much better – unfortunately

Have I mentioned that I hate Fraser? As long as I remember watching hockey the guy makes the calls aginst my team!
and yeah, hockey universe out of sync, I bet 250$ that San Jose would beat the Flames, and the Flames won, nothing is correct right now!
betting hockey = bad idea. The fact you can pull your goalie screws with the spreads. It’s my favorite sport by far but I will never bet it

All right, let’s pull this together. We need a PP goal here

How is it that every time the Pens are a man up, they manage to play like a man down?
Let's go Pens!
And yet with a man down they give up goals too…the special teams is jack

ugh. And I watched it on a nashville feed, too. The entire world is obese down there. And you think they could chill on the “organ harvest” commercials a bit.
shhhhh you’re stepping on Dunman’s territory. He’s very sensitive about his weight.
