It is pretty common for teams to rest their star players during the last week of the season. It really screws up our fantasy hockey pools!
So, currently the Pens have no Crosby, no Malkin, no Kunitz, no Letang, no Maatta, no Orpik... blimey! 1st round exit here we come!
Yet... somehow Sutter is holding down the fort with both goals in a currently (end of 2nd period) 2-0 lead over offensive juggernauts Colorado.
You have to assume a few of them are being rested... Crosby in particular
Are the fans getting cheaper tickets for these last few regular season games? Without these guys they're a shell of the quality team they are.
Not THAT hairy, honest!

Good point about the fans. They didn't pay to see Sutter.
Correct if I'm wrong, but is that all the Olympic participants on the team getting a rest?

Apparently Crosby, Kunitz, Orpik, and Maatta practiced today, but Bylsma says they are day-to-day, so who knows what that means for tonight. This via the Pens twitter account and @pgshelly who covers them for the Post-Gazette.
