Penguins Gameday 12/12/09

Tonight the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Florida Panthers and might actually have the full compliment of players. Chris Kunitz skated with the first line with Crosby and Guerrin this morning at practice. If Kunitz plays it will mark the first time the Penguins will play with all their starters this season.

With Kunitz back into the lineup who will be the odd man out? My guess is it will be between Craig Adams and Eric Godard. Please be Eric Godawful. Here are you projected lines if Kunitz plays.

Kunitz-Crosby-Guerin
Dupuis-Malkin-Fedotenko
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Rupp-Adams/Talbot-Godard

Gonchar-Orpik
Eaton-Letang
McKee-Goligoski

Fleury

"Obviously, you don’t score, you can’t win." This in depth quote comes from Tomas Vokoun after losing 3-0 vs. the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday.


Here are my thoughts for tonight's game:

1.) score first and keep the pressure on Fla. don't let them hang around.
2.) With everyone healthy, its time for the PP to step up.
3.) Keep all four lines skating, I would hate to see Rupp lose playing time because of Kunitz.
