Official GDT: Pens vs Jackets 3/5/24

[DelPen]

Eller on the top LW is kind of a **** stupid decision.

[KG]

DOC hasn't played center, like ever in the NHL. Don't understand that. Maybe we're showcasing Eller lol

He has a few games but hasn’t been very good. Certainly not better than Eller or Carter.

[Zalapski33]

DOC gets bumped to 3rd Line Center,Eller goes to LW and Poulin has to stay in WBS so he can "recover from his injury".

Sully and Dubas figure this is what the team needs tonight.SMH.

[thehockeyguru]

Is Ludvig hurt?

What do you want them to do? Call up Poulin?

[DelPen]

Wonder how many Columbus fans would make the trip tonight? Assuming the Pens fans that are still going to the games are the ones that still care so if we go down by 2 or 3 early this is going to get really toxic because they will also be the most angry.

What do you want them to do? Call up Poulin?

Definitely....he's playing real well since coming back from injury. He deserves a shot.

[DelPen]

Is Ludvig hurt?

No, he just makes 1/6th of what Graves makes so he can’t play.

[KG]

Is Ludvig hurt?

No. He just plays too physical for the coaches liking...

[Skatingpen]

That is one fugly lineup……..

Pretty sure that was sarcastic

[BurghThing]

Only thing I want to see tonight is players pulled off the ice.

One of the only Forwards who plays with energy on the Wing,goes into corners to retrieve pucks and forechecks well.

But lets move him to Center the 3rd Line.

[thehockeyguru]

Is Ludvig hurt?

No, he just makes 1/6th of what Graves makes so he can’t play.

He should be playing over Graves and Ruhwedel

Obviously not in the minds of the "brain trust" making these decisions.

[DelPen]

No, he just makes 1/6th of what Graves makes so he can’t play.

Chad has been fine. But over Graves, definitely. So should Shea too, all three have been significantly better than Graves all year.

[DelPen]

Trying to figure out which team we are going to resemble next year if Dubas doesn't get agressive right now. Probably Chicago when they fell off a cliff after Seabrook retired?

[Badger Bob]

Lots of empty seats so far.

[FLPensFan]

This lineup officially starts the #LoseMoreForTheFloor campaign. Eller on LW is...something. Penguins currently 9th worse, can likely get down to 8th worst.

Getting down to 4th or 5th overall is highly unlikely, but possible.

One of the only Forwards who plays with energy on the Wing,goes into corners to retrieve pucks and forechecks well.

But lets move him to Center the 3rd Line.

If you are going to play Carter 16 minutes might as well have him with DOC and Pool Party on the 3rd line and shift Bemstrom down to the 4th line.

This is not a good sign for Thursday, we might see more Caps fans show up than Pens fans or at least a very large contingent and I can’t remember a time that ever happened.

Agreed,better than the plan was going into this one.

Lots of empty seats so far.

Have a feeling that is going to be the norm the rest of the year.
