REMATCH w/ Islanders

[vman]

Ok folks, the basic question is: Do you, as coach of the Pens, dress Eric Godard & Deryk Engelland for the rematch of the debacle that took place on Long island several weeks ago? I DO......who was it a rookie Haley that went after our goalie? I'd have Engelland call him on first time he hits the ice (old school)but that's probably why I am sitting here & Bylsma is behind the Pens bench. According to several quotes from players & the coach, in this morning's Post Gazette, the Pens are not interested in any retaliation, rough stuff, injury risks, etc...& want to focus on snaring the best possible position for the playoffs in these last two regular season contests. I guess the fact Godard has not dressed since fulfilling his suspension & Engelland has sat the last 5 or 6 games diminishes the chances either suits up tonite......i will be disturbed if the isles do,in fact, initiate more garbage and EG & DE are in the press box.

The Pens are only behind Philly by 1 point for the division with 2 games to go... They need to just worry about getting the 2 points and not stoop down to the Islanders level.

Forget about retaliation they need to get off of the Island with 2 points if they wanna win the Atlantic Division.

However, I do believe the Islanders will be complete goons tonight and try and play a garbage game and go after the likes of Letang, Staal, Fleury, Kunitz, and Neal so the Pens better be ready to have to stick up for each other tonight which I'm sure they will be.
