Smaller than usual - tiredness from jet lag kicking in. LGP!

[TheEdge27]

Would love to see another solid start from Thiessen again.

[Hazu]

7-4 Pittsburg.

[Le Magnifique 66]

Let's Go Pens

[Pfnf]

Thiessen will get the start i think

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

So I assume Geno's leg must be OK then right?

[Speedster]

With a win do we clinch a playoff spot?

[AmazedRink]

It's fine. We hopped on some other teams bandwagons when we're weren't playing in the playoffs.

If this team stays healthy, you should be well entertained. Best team post-lockout if Sid can find his form from last year.

Enjoy the ride, hopefully it's going to end in June with a Stanley Cup win and Parade

[Ignatius]

Even though I'd rather see Winnipeg get in the playoffs over Washington or Buffalo, they're not getting two points from us tonight. LGP!

[fragmag]

Heading out to the game here in a bit. I'll be the medium build white guy with Pens gear on drinking beer at TGIF's before the game. Say hi if you see me. lol

LGP!!!

[eXile59]

Will be nice not to deal with their crowd. It feels weird there being a game on a Tuesday again. I'm use to two weekend games & then none for entire week.

[Dying Alive]

Isn't Vitale out tonight? I'm pretty sure Molinari tweeted that he wasn't at the morning skate.

[Mister Ed]

We need a win tonight. It's a shame though, I really like Winnipeg and a loss here would damage their chances of catching Washington. They are also a pretty terrible road team. Maybe we can just have a shootout.

[Hugh Madbrough]

Kyle Wellwood is on their second line? yikes.

Hopefully 87/71 carry on the tradition of torching the Jets/Thrashers tonight.

[Saved]

On one hand I want us to win for 1st overall, on the other hand, if we lose, it's 2 points the jets are closer to putting out the capitals if capitals play bad heh.. Win win.

[JMT21]

JETS STH here..... i come in peace.

I know you guys are chasing the Rangers but we're desperate for points. If DB would kindly consider placing the following guys on the "healthy scratch" list..... everyone in Winnipeg would be grateful.

Crosby
Malkin
Kunitz
Neal

We stink on the road... it's the least you guys could us for us.

good luck and here's to an injury free game.

Nice catch.

I'm hoping the Pens will put in 60 mins tonight. Also hoping that Letang doesn't need to backcheck as much as he has been.

With a Jets Loss or OTL. Although there may be tie game scenarios I have most definitely overlooked

[66-29-33]

I predict a lopsided game. 7-1 Pens. Malkin 3G 3A, Neal 2G 2A, Kunitz 1G 3A and Crosby 1G 1A.

[dr robbie]

Definitely hoping for a win here. But, hoping more that the Pens stay healthy for the postseason. Would hate to see injuries during this last stretch.
