1. Let's not one blip stop us from using the Hall theme that helped reel off several straight wins in a row.
2. Just to piss Napkin off.

Not a pleasant experience. Sloppy all overgot me too, got stuck watching the Cs suck a bit longer
Feels like Bledsoe/Brady again, but I think that they have to go with Tuukka if/when he's 100%.So uh....do we have a goalie thing?
Definitely have an off season decision to make. I know I would be comfortable with a Swayman/Vladar tandem on ELCs, and using the $8 million in cap space to upgrade the rest of the roster.So uh....do we have a goalie thing?
Well, Swayman played the night before.I'm not even talking about next year, I mean this year.
Putting Rask in against Buffalo, a garbage awful team - and giving Swayman the primetime national TV Sunday game against a potential first round opponent?
You could be on to something.I'm not even talking about next year, I mean this year.

And Halak was the backup. Why not give him the start so Rask could play this game?Well, Swayman played the night before.
I think it’ll just be strictly business and cap space moving forward making that decision. There hasn’t even been a hint that anyone high up in the organization holds anything against Rask.I don't think that they're going to offer Rask a contract.
As wrong as it is, and they'd never publicly admit this, but I think "old-schoolers" Sweeney and Neely hold it against Rask for bailing out of the play-offs last year. Ot at least I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Give Rask an extra day between games and so that he didn't play 3 games in 6 days? (He played last Sunday and last Tuesday.)And Halak was the backup. Why not give him the start so Rask could play this game?
So you'd rather burn Rask on games against a bottom feeder like Buffalo, and not against an actual contender?Give Rask an extra day between games and so that he didn't play 3 games in 6 days? (He played last Sunday and last Tuesday.)
It's ridiculous today.The amount of interference that they get away with is staggering.
Or Coyle demoted, if you wanna look at it that way.Lazar promoted to 3rd line?
My boy Coyle has struggled this year after being a monster in the 2019 Cup run.Or Coyle demoted, if you wanna look at it that way.
I'm assuming since he isn't even dressed today, he's still nowhere near full health. Don't think there's more to it than that.So you'd rather burn Rask on games against a bottom feeder like Buffalo, and not against an actual contender?
You don't think that's just a little weird?
From The Google. Seems overly generous.Pens are getting away with some wholesale interference. Can't wait for that standard to suddenly change going the other way.
26 games now without a goal.My boy Coyle has struggled this year after being a monster in the 2019 Cup run.
If they prioritized keeping Rask healthy over optimizing opponent match-ups, I could see why they decided to give him an extra day of rest. Maybe he even requested the extra day of rest.So you'd rather burn Rask on games against a bottom feeder like Buffalo, and not against an actual contender?

Which - if true, is even more insane.I'm assuming since he isn't even dressed today, he's still nowhere near full health. Don't think there's more to it than that.
And maybe they want Swayman to get some experience against better teams in national games in case he's needed in the playoffs.If they prioritized keeping Rask healthy over optimizing opponent match-ups, I could see why they decided to give him an extra day of rest. Maybe he even requested the extra day of rest.
True. Who knows, he could have tweaked something during the Buffalo game as well, but total speculation there. It just seems like he's going to be managing his health the rest of the way through regardless...difficult balance between staying healthy and staying sharp.Which - if true, is even more insane.
You bring him back when he's not 100% to play BUFFALO? When you could...you know, just keep resting him as the 3 backups have all performed really well this year?
The defender was right on his stick he was just trying to get it on net.Eek had a wide open far side
