1. well fuck

2. Well that sucks really bad

3. Goddamnit

4. Give us Boko back

5. But like… why Danton Heinen???

6. So much for “day to day” with Geno. Bummer.

   Well, I’m gonna try and find the silver lining and at least his legs can rest. Last year he started out hot too and seemed to run outta gas. Heal up, I am score!!!

7. 😭

8. Jesus christ. This fucking hurts.

9. Is Geno’s IR stint relative to Sunday? Maybe get him for some of the games next week? Does anyone know?

10. Why wouldn’t we bring up Broz? Just when you think everyone’s getting healthy and we’re about to go on a run this shit happens

11. goddammit

12. Genuinely not surprised about Lizotte. The nature of his game as a pest, and his tenacity on the walls just seems like he’ll always be playing hard AF between injuries and concussions. His style just isnt sustainable, as entertaining and effective as it is.

13. Dreadful. Poulin and Heinen are both basically useless.

14. No, Geno, please be ok!

15. Novak, Kindle, and Hayes likely all at C then and keep rolling the lines.

16. Should’ve brought Broz up for 4C.

17. Its not a Pens season without some critical players being on IR…

18. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

19. Just say no to Heinen. This is the type of player we need out of the system.

20. Crazy how quickly Malkin went from maintenance day, to day to day, to IR.

    With everyone saying he was good the whole time.

21. Pain.

22. NOT LIZOTTE MAN

23. Lizotte is a big loss imo. Pushes play, is a fly constantly buzzing around your head that drives you crazy.
