As long as the Penguins don't blow a playoff series like they did last year, I'm fine with their insanity technique.

Yeah, Iginla looks like he's going to work really well on a line with Bergeron and Marchand, same with the first line. Which is kind of scary, since they were pretty great already.

Iginla was a great acquisition for you guys, if anyone had any doubts they pretty much vanished yesterday lol.
Couple of kids shown some good stuff but yesterday's game wasn't much balanced ahaha. Price was looking a bit sketchy, hopes that he'll up is game when the season wil start

What a horrible night for Pittsburgh teams last night. Pens, Steelers, and Bucs all lose.
So far the biggest positive I've seen for the Pens is Beau Bennett. I really think/hope he is going to have a great season.

I didn't have any doubts about Bennett, and am really impressed with the way he bulked up over the summer... I'm a bit concerned about the rest of the team though

Yeah, there have been a lot of negatives. I hated seeing someone sitting in front of Vokoun, untouched, for pretty much the whole night. Quite a few dumb passes. Hopefully things get ironed out before the season starts.

I didn't doubt him either. I think he looked great throughout last season and the playoffs and am hoping he's on Geno's wing full-time.
Though living out of market, I haven't been able to actually "see" anyone yet, so if he's bulked up he should be ready to go.
He's definitely bigger and more physical now. The first goal of the preseason for the Pens was him delivering a strong check to somebody to take the puck away then passing it to Neal who was open coming to the net for the goal. I was impressed.

So it looks like Bennett will be on a lines with Sutter and D'Agostini and Kobasew will play on the first line with Crosby and Kunitz. Not following the logic there.
Yeah I didn't get it either. It's definitely a reward for Kobasew for those two goals, but I just don't see him as a top line player while Bennett should be
I'm also concerned that Fleury isn't getting the start tonight as well.

You'd think we'd pull Subban after the first few goals are let in but NO. They leave him in for the WHOLE game. 8-2 loss 
Only goals from us are Iginla and Johnson. Names sound familiar? They each scored 2 goals in the first game. 3 in 2 games now.

Pens FINALLY win one this pre-season in the shootout... against the Stanley Cup champs

Missed out on Crosby (he was first to go, obviously) along with Patrick Kane, David Krejci, Markov, Letang, Sedin, Duncan Keith, and Stamkos (second to go) but I feel confident with a chunk of them. I know Bergeron was hurt but from what I've seen/read he should be back into the thick of it soon enough to be worth it, so I'm not worried about having used a higher round pick on him.

I would have honestly passed on Fleury. Maybe Khudobin or something ahead of him. Flower is just so shaky these past couple seasons.

Trust me, there he wasn't my first choice for Goalie but they all got snatched up before my pick. Truth be told I had a shitty spot for a Snake draft, 12 guys total, I was #9, then when it was reverse, I was #3 so I had to have my shit ready. I also didn't want to rely to heavily on the B's because despite them being a good team, there are others out there who are good too.
I don't even remember who my first pick for Goalie was but he ended up getting taken if I remember correctly
Although it looks like Colorado's goalie is actually pretty good, more saves and shutout wins vs. Fleury who's only advantage is more overall game wins, might be worth a swap for

Fleury is still a good fantasy goalie. His regular season play is solid and he'll get plenty of wins with the team playing in front of him.
I think your real problem is a lack of scoring forwards.

I wish I had noticed how many of my guys ended the season with injuries Bergeron obviously, but Kadri is also just getting back into playing condition after blocking a shot with his hand last week, so he shouldn't be too bad; and Dustin Brown had issues with his hamstring as well and he was another one of my higher point scorers.
Just swapped out one of my LWs already too. Grabbed Cogliano from Anaheim (who I have NEVER payed attention to besides making fun of their name) for Glencross from Calgary. Trading face-off wins and penalty time for overall higher: goals (regular and PP), assists (regular and PP) as well as shots on net

I annually have a problem with drafting guys who have yet to re-sign with their teams and end up holding out. Last year I drafted PK Subban who missed the start of the season. This year I have Derek Stepan, who is apparently at a standstill with the Rangers.
Out of curiosity, who was your first-round pick?

Looks like the Pens are getting back to what they do best: outshooting the opponent almost 2 to 1 and losing anyways
Fortunately it's still preseason and they starting lineup has still not played a single game
