If You Think The Pens Should Trade Kris Letang You're Probably F*cking Stupid
Despite being in first place of the Atlantic division and second overall in the Easter Conference, the Pittsburgh Penguins have their flaws. Their backup goalie is getting worse and worse game by game. Evgeni Malkin has been out with a concussion, the coach doesn't seem to be making great decisions or adjustments, and the defense has been awful.
Pens beat Montreal 7-6 in OT
What a F*cking game that was last night. The Pens pulled a rabbit out of their ass by beating the Montreal Canadiens in overtime by a score of 7-6. This might have been the least confident most Pens fans were going into a game this year. It was a perfect storm for the Canadiens. They were at home, the Pens were facing former head coach Michelle Therrien, no Evgeni Malkin, and for some reason Dany Bylsma decided to start Tomas Vokoun.

This isn't Nashville, Time to change tune in Pittsburgh
The Nashville Predators first played in the National Hockey League (NHL) on October 10, 1998 and behind the bench that night was head coach Barry Trotz. Since that opening game, Trotz has been the only man fans in Nashville have called coach. That's something cute and interesting in this day of being hired to be fired but the expectations in Nashville are not exactly on the same level as those for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In Pittsburgh, great expectations hang over the heads of everyone in the organization from owners Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux, franchise centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to rookie winger Beau Bennett.
No Despes and No Fleury Against Montreal
Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Montrael Canadiens tonight, the two best teams in terms of points in the Eastern Conference. The Pens will be without Evgeni Malkin who continues to skate while listening to the Rosetta Stone. Paul Martin will also be out of the lineup for a lower-body injury.
In a stunning move head coach Dan Bylsma has put Mark Eaton in the lineup and will keep Robert Bortuzzo in the lineup instead of Simon Despres. I guess he either didn't read my blog post about how Simon Despres has made the lineup so much better. That or he didn't like it and is doing all of this out of pride.
Not playing Despres is the stupidest thing I have ever seen done by a coach. Did Despres do something personally against Bylsma? What the F*ck is going on with this situation. Bylsma will continue to say that Despres has a bad attitude or that he's not physical enough even though his hits per game is actually pretty good, about the same as Kris Letang's. Despres is one of their six best defensemen. And he's not getting any playing time even though everyone seems to agree that Despres should be in. #FREEDESPRES
Then Bylsma tops not playing Despres by not playing Marc-Andre Fleury against the best team in the conference on the road. Despite Tomas Vokoun being 1-2 with in his last 4 starts, and giving up 16 goals in those 4 starts. Fleury gave up 4 goals against Carolina but the goals nor the loss was really his fault. Why is he being punished? Fleury loves playing against Montrael.
The Canadians are the best team in the East, Fleury loves playing in Montreal. So let's play are old and struggling backup again. Apparently Bylsma made the goalie schedule two months in advance. Ok? So that means you have to go by the schedule? It's set in stone and no changes or adjustments can be made? I don't even know why I asked that, Bylsma and making adjustments does not go together. The only adjustment Bylsma knows is putting Crosby and Malkin on the ice together sometimes. Other than that it's the same old shit.
Pens are now 5th in the NHL in minor penalties. I guess we can't blame Bylsma for that either? 1 playoff series win in the last three seasons. Three straight playoff series losses. Tick Tock.
HOPE I'M WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THIS AND THE PENS WIN TONIGHT. GO PENS
