OT: Pens having their way in Columbus....

[GregInPitt]

Always some Pen's fans in attendance in oh-high-ya, but the cheers for the Pen's goals seem to be louder than the cheers for the lone BJ's goal.

4-1 midway thru the 2nd..... Pen's seem to rounding into playoff form early. Wonder what the trade deadline will bring??

Sounds like they are shopping Hunwick and Cole will be here to stay (thank God!). Still think they will add a 4th line center (probably Mark Letestu with a small chance that Cullen returns due to Minnie’s current standing) since you really don’t want to go into the playoffs with Carter Rowney as your 4C.

If GMJR can pull off a minor miracle, would be awesome to add Michael Grabner. Imagine having him, Hagelin, Rust and Kessel in your lineup? Still worried about the first line...Sid is basically playing with different wingers every night. Hopefully they get healthy and maybe Rust and Guentzel play his wings like last year? I like Hagelin with Malkin...forces Geno to shoot more, which is exactly what Sullivan wants. See those 2 with Horny once his back. Riley Sheahan has been awesome the last month or so...but no idea who you pair with him and Kessel...maybe ZAR? Sheary has been so awful lately not sure he’s your solution on that 3rd line. And I don’t see them playing Sprong in the playoffs due to his lack of defensive responsibility. How Sheary and Simon fit into the lineup will be interesting once they get Kuhnhackl back. Reaves has picked it up lately and we may need him to take out the human trashcan (aka Tom Wilson) with the inevitable Caps series.
