Yes.
Few words summation.
1) Geno. Leading by example. Beast mode.
2) Sid. Trying to be an older Adam Oates. Shoot more.
3) Rodrigues. Looking like a potential Duper throw in.
4) Sheary. Still not getting the need.
5) Blueger/Tanev. Much better effort.
6) Murray. Bad goal. Rebounded.
7) Schultz. Welcome back.
8) Letang. Just lost. What the hell? Trade candidate offseason.
9) Dumoulin. Still rounding into form.
10) Hornquist. If everyone would give his effort, there would be no problems.

Tonight's Utah - OKC NBA game was the first professional sporting event played without players.
So just a thought... IF the NHL suspends their season as well, the Pens have time to get healthy and get Jake Guentzel back...
The NHL is making an announcement tomorrow and I have a feeling they’ll suspend the season like the NBA.
At least we won’t have to hear that dam# cannon and that stupid song they play.surely they wouldn’t set it off without fans,right? Maybe we can shut them out and make sure of it...

Have to think if he tests positive, the NCAA tourney is shut down. At the very least the Big Ten tournament.
Honestly, it’s beginning to look like this whole country may be shut down. Wild times.
Will be interesting how they handle the rest of the regular and postseason assuming the league is suspended tomorrow.
If they simply cut the remaining regular season games and go to the postseason, the Pens would play Flyers in the first round and then likely the Capitals in the second round.

They have to, don't they? I mean they essentially share the same locker rooms, buildings, travel methods, hotels as the NBA. It would be a horrible look for the NHL to play and the NBA not to play.
That's now another problem. Anyone sick is going to be a pariah. He had the flu, regular Influenza A. Now anyone with this or Bronchitis and people are going to panic thinking they have the CoronaVirus.

I think it was the hubris of deciding for everyone around him that he was going to go ahead and coach while he's sick that caused the outrage. I mean, "it was just the flu" isn't a good enough excuse even without this other nonsense.
One of the things I'm bitter about is being taught to go to school or to work, sick because our family prides itself on hard work, blah, blah, blah. It's BS.
Looks like the NHL is going to shut down for a bit, all morning skates have been cancelled.

NHL still hasn’t canceled. Interesting way for them to grow the sport... be the only sport on TV!
That’s the old blue collar stuff. I was sorta taught that way too. And I lived it for a while. But as I’ve aged I realize that’s not the way to do it when you’re ill - especially if you have paid sick time. Stay home and keep it to yourself. I’m sure if you don’t get paid it makes the decision really hard.
Ha. As a Flyers fan, I was thinking the same thing.
Ha. Please don't lump us all together. And I'm not sure there are even many PSU basketball fans....bandwagoners, perhaps.
This is tough. If they shut it down for a month or so...where do alot of the European players go?? Into the belly of the beast??
In the big scheme of things, hockey and who wins is trivial. That being said, we need distractions. So say this league is shut down to Mid May. They will likely have to have some abbreviated finished or an expanded post season. So, just focusing in the East, who does this help, who does this hurt? The hottest teams are the Phylers and Bruins. The coldest (of the contenders) are the Penguins and the Caps. The Pens easily in the East (and the league) would most benefit from this layoff. Guys like Marino and Dumoulin now get more time to heal. Sid, isn't himself, still must be hurting. Rust is banged up. And oh yeah, there is this Guentzel kid sitting out. The goaltending is not really great right now. Maybe a reboot helps. The team likely hurt the most is the red hot Philly Flyers.
If they do a mid-May restart, play out the schedule to get back in the groove, this could be a huge Break for our aging Pens. Hot teams will lose it, flat & injured teams like the Pens can regroup.
From this, it appears that their plan is to simply put the league on hold and resume the regular season once this blows over, with no games being missed.
Stanley Cup on the 4th of July
maybe we can completely bypass the Suckos this year.

Another positive: the Leafs will finally play a game in June!
Yes, hard work is such an albatross around the neck of you and your family.
You should be bitter that you are just so bitter.
