*Staff counting the days for Galchenyuk in a Penguins uniform…

— The microscope was going to be on Mike Sullivan this season on whether he’d go full Dan Bylsma and show little appetite to change or not. It’s been the ladder as Sullivan has done a phenomenal job in little tweaks to the system in defending zone entries and countering offensively, while the combination of a buy-in mentality 1-18 has been the perfect storm thus far.
Quick adjustments with personnel has also paid off like Tuesday night.
Kris Letang on the left side was a disaster defensively vs the Kings.
Sullivan has shown a willingness to throw the young players into uncomfortable situations and what do you know, Sullivan swaps John Marino and Kris Letang, moving Marino to the left side and Marino has a phenomenal game vs the Flames in playing 27 minutes.
— It’s still too early to really dive into whether Matt Murray is still in line to be a $7 million a year goaltender next season. There’s a lot of season to go but the facts are, Before the season, everything was setting up for Murray to land an 8 year contract in the $7-$7.5 million a year range without much negotiation.
The bigger story in the short-term for me is whispers around the league that the Penguins are not happy with Murray’s practice habits and a bit of arrogance that he needs to fix anything. And this isn’t a new thing……
Is Bryan Rust going to continue to score at a 50 goal pace (over 82 games) for the rest of the season?
No, but this feels much different than some of those hot stretches Rust has had in past seasons.
Rust had always been a very good north-south player.
What’s made him an elite offensive player this season is adding an east-west ability to create offense in 1-on-1 situations.
The instincts and a greater level of patience with the puck in creating individual offense is playing a big factor in not just seeing the results Rust is getting, but in that he’s a consistent threat in creating offense and this isn’t driving to the net and getting a bunch of lucky bounces off Sidney Crosby type passes.
Rust is creating highly skilled plays off zone entries, pushing defenders back with speed/patience with the puck and looking the part of a skilled 1-on-1 top-6 player.
Rust has always been a very useful top-9 player who coaches have held in higher regard than the front office. Anytime Rust’ name might have come in organizational meetings, the coaching staff has always gone to bat for him in how important he is beyond the scoresheet.
Now the Penguins are getting the contributions of all the little things Rust does on a game-by-game basis with the combination of now elite offense.
And these type of unexpected revelations is why the Penguins have kept their head above water and some with all the injuries.
— Beyond the emergence of John Marino, no matter what happens the rest of the way, the Penguins have been given an easy decision already on whether to make a commitment to Justin Schultz on a long-term contract or not. The inability to stay healthy and no signs that the 2016-2017 ‘Justin Schultz’ is re-emerging, has things setting up where the Penguins will use Schultz as their own rental and then (if they want) explore a short-term contract at a much lower AAV if it’s something Schultz will consider.
Off-season talk that Schultz will be a $6-$7 million a year defenseman on his next contract certainly isn’t coming from Pittsburgh.
— The coaching staff is just counting the days that they no longer have to put Alex Galchenyuk in the lineup……[/hide]
Lets hope Rutherford does some early shopping whatever that might be…and doesn’t wait until the deadline which might be too late in the ultra competitive metropolitan division…
What a comeback by Canada vs USA
Thanks to French Canadian that is 15 mins away from where I live
Alexis lafreniere
And that is the Pinnacle of Sam(e)’s life.
Eric, Jordan, and Marc Stahl
Lets hope Murray Got a new glove
Let us guess, you got a 7th Letangs Cock shaped pillow…
You are the biggest tool I have ever countered Yes letang makes mistakes but the guy plays a lot of minutes thanks to scum sully lies Then he had heart problems neck injury problems which 90% of other players would’ve retired already So with all this trust me letang is still better then your idol subban and overrated karlsson If I had to pick one D letang anyday over those 2 frauds Plus not a lot of Defense like him that puts a lot of minuted grows on trees Happy Boxing day box score expert. Hope you get another drooling… Read more »
We get it, you want him to fuckk your mouth Sam I’ve explained this too you 1000 times, when not out here I’m a massive Letang fan. I’ve even said this out here… I recognize his strengths and weaknesses… you never acknowledge his screw ups which is why I talk about him the way I do. You never recognize his deficiencies yet hate other players for similar issues. His capable of massive brain cramps and take terrible penalties while leaving the defence exposed. He struggles heavily in certain situations where he should excel… I’m literally describing two guys here… Letang… Read more »
Merry Christmas yinzers
All you bone heads happy holidays..
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays Fuckerss!
Merry Christmas buddy!
Hope Santa got you another TV to turn it off
Hope Santa got you another account
Thanks but one is enough. Did you get your dictionary?
Merry Christmas dude!
Merry Christmas you knuckleheads! Sam you still suck!
Merry Christmas to you too
Don’t we all…and some confidence to go with that glove….
Hope Murray gets a glove for Christmas
Stahl might be a nice fit rental UFA $3.25 maybe a pick or simon
He has 14 goals..gritty tough good face off man gets clutch goals
Minn is one game out of a playoff spot, why would they trade Staal?
But don’t they do this every year play well for a bit and get buried..if they were again talking moving zucker whos now hurt why not a 35 year old UFA for a pick or younger player bjugstad..
They do have an older team Parise Suter Koivu Stahl foligno etc…younger player or a pick are they really Resigning Stshl 35 next year.. i hear what you are saying but its December you know where they will be in march
A move like Staal is a deadline play when a team knows where they stand and playoff teams load up. I don’t think any moves in the near future = hiring of mercs. If they make a move now I would hope its with the intent of more longer term roster adjusting.
I think stahl would be a good fit and rental..big strong good on face offs 14 goals…..I can’t see Minnesota Resigning a 35 ufa when they could get something..we have had success with people named stahl at 3rd line center.your right probably closee to deadline…jyst so many injuries sooner is better look at zucker ritchie out long term..
They’d trade Staal because he can’t let a day pass without posting a playstation trade.
TJ…Honestly why the playstation comment.. Pageau has been rumored by every hockey insider from McKenzie to Darren dreiger that he is available…and Stahl will help any play off contender and pretty sure he will be dealt. I.don’t see Minnesota Resigning at 35 UFA….they aren’t going anywhere so.. i was just asking who would be a better fit for the Penguins and what it would take… isn’t this site about that rumors speculation and chatter??
Pageau scored again tonight so did eric stahl i wonder what it would take to get one of them..
Eric stahl
Or pageau
Also like lablanc
Trade assets schultz murray galchenyuk bjugstad
wow slow day. Anybody around?
Yeah got into an accident my first one in my life some dumb 75 year old man that can’t even pronounce his own name
Do tell, why can’t he pronounce his own name?
Because he was one of your beta males trudeaus off the boat free loaders that never worked in his life
Can he spell his own name?
What a crazy game leads vs canes
Now was entertaining.
The Lithuanian Leads?
Make some donuts chubster
Seth Feroce
Npl suckss
So does his
DemocRATS
Hockeybuzz…stating today Oilers focused in on Kreider and Vatanen..islanders focused on pageau.. interesting..pageau could make islanders more dangerous.. cmon penguins early bird gets the worm…whoever Rutherford is eyeing he better go get sooner rather than later..we are 9 points behind Washington..if we make the playoffs 2nd 3rd seed metro probably islanders. Wild card your looking at capitals Bruins..so Rutherford getting cracking.
Noesen scores his 1st as a shark
Good for him liked him as a penguin..
Better then galchenyuk thats for sure
Wow i know the guy has a good work ethic unlike Murray apparently…just not clucking here..galchenyuk schultz bjugstad all may go
You need the permission of zeroTool when it comes about schultz. Him and some clowns here drool over him and wish he can replace letang
Don’t get me started on that fool..
Please, get started, you’ve established yourself as part of the group of dipshits on the page so by all means, don’t hold back… stop the passive aggression and be straight up you *****. Guys out here tossing subtle shots but wets his pampers when responses come. We get it, as an arm chair GM you need validation from others rambling about PS EA trades but it’s pointless… every guy you’ve named is suddenly connected to another team… speaks volumes. “All the players the team had been connected to” yet next to none have actually been connected… speculation at best and… Read more »
3 names all year, maybe four, have come up in actual rumours… the rest are guys that make you wet nothing more
Does sheary make you wet?
He did while scoring big goals for a cup team fuckface
Yeah you know everything tool boy..go home
Lets ignore each other make it easy..i have no problem with anyone but you..never said they were all rumors some where guys i would like on the pens..just go home tool boy.. save you useless garbage and righteousness for someone who gives a f***k
“Let’s ignore each other” did you try leaving my name out of your mouth fuckstick? If you take a look I’ve been responding to your bullshit for a couple days… it’s an easy fix
Go home..
I live in LA know all about toffoli have friends in kings organization and the penguins grew up there so may no a bit more than you giving me credit for.so go home.tool boy
Only because the team proved it doesn’t need Letang… or Fleury to win… that’s an actual fact
They also proved they can do better when galchenyuk and Malkin take their vacation at the same time
Except Malkin was a major part of each cup… I couldn’t care less about Gally at this point. I hoped he’d be able to at least put up the career numbers he has and he didn’t… I’m over it. Malkin is conducive to winning cups! Letang wasn’t even there for the last one As for Schultz… better shot and more decisive… that’s why people are clamouring for him to get more 1st PP time with the top unit. If you could remove Letangs ballsac from your eyes for a moment you’d see that it can’t hurt to let them split,… Read more »
ahem number of Cups since MAF left ZERO (Like your name). Merry Freaking Christmas
Dudes imploded regularly, did so vs Washington in 2018… Wasn’t in net for the big games in 16/17 specifically the finals… We can beat around the bush all we want but MAF was replaced by Murray plain and simple. This isn’t me talking to sam here, I like MAF a lot, he was left out to dry a lot which may have been part of what led to his inability to mentally deal with the playoffs but he had massive gaffs prior to the NHL as well. It may be his nature to come unglued in big moments. Murray going… Read more »
Knew he wouldn’t last just too physical for Sully. It was a dumb move if it was done unintentional to lose him like that.
Tanev takes a regular shift! I mean I didn’t hate the way he was playing but it was a small sample size. He’s struggled to stay in the NHL for a reason…
Guys like Rust, the bulk of the bottom six tend to bang and crash.
Is hornqvist dead or what?
They said long term. This means 6-8 weeks usually.
DAMN that’s bad I thought he was 2 to 3 weeks
Magic number for Murray tonight
4 goals on 14 shots this is the clown that bandwagons drooled on to replace Fleury
You’re right, we should have kept the guy that would wait until April/May to play this bad
No but at least traded him last year when had more value
I saw it a mile away coming that this fraud would be exposed so did the Penguins organization. But they kept him because it was sully’s guy
Now that he is exposed sully Cant protect him as much anymore .
Or its him or sully loses his job so obviously sully wants to save his own buttt
You still think teams can win with MAF… SeEn It A mIlE aWaY
I fucken hate Vancouver
Is galchenyuk even playing tonight.
That piece if shittt of a fraud
been a ghost tonight again. Have to think we have lost the Kessel trade unless Pierre-Olivier Joseph turns into something.
Only tonight ?
Guentzel makes it 2 – 1 if we can get a point out of this that a win….keep pushing boys
that being said this team has done so well with all the injuries…we will still have to add a top 4 dman and a forward if we really have any chance in a 7 game series vs Washington, NY Islanders, Boston, Tampa, or Carolina ..I .really hope that happens…
Frauddd Murray 3 goals on 9 or 10 shots
Guess what glove side
Hurry up Santa get this bum a glove already
now its three one? geez
Yeah
Wonder that’s the magic number for Murray tonight
Sucks the 4min pp expired because of that extra 2seconds played
That’s 1
Jakes looked like he was squeezing the stick last night and so far tonight up to this point! This is good
This 4min pp is the only way that can give chance penguins get back in the game
Guess people turned off their tvs .maybe u sam? Lol
Who knows here watching its painful so far but watching
Out walking my dogs still 2-0 worse
At least they have shots this period
Mstartari and tbj did for sure
I would like to say Npl as well but that fat fuckk doesn’t even watch the games he gets his hockey news on this website .
Either ways its too late for him to stay up late tonight one of his dad’s already tucked him in bed already
Next goal obviously a biggie dah..we need one here
Two goals not insurmountable
Penguins look like they played last night…
How many TVs are turned off ?
Not mine..
Always sorry if we can comeback and get a point would b huge…
Everytime Melrose is on nhl tonight which is rare they already lose.stay out of the box Murray no shot
Fraudddd Murray
Cmon sam both those goals no chance power play..1st one a rocket…
Bit of an overplay Murray, angles is usually his strong suit when he’s on
His only strong suit is when the team shows up in front if him
Only goaltender in history to lose 2 playoff series being up 3-1… for good measure added a 3rd.
Remember when he was sub .900 vs Washington? A team that won 51 games lost in the finals because their goaltender is one of the biggest playoff frauds in league history
We seen it coming when he shit the bed in the Juniors with that incredible team in front of him
Ugh… I mean he continues to be his own worst enemy
JC at this rate will be 5 on 3 all freaking night …….
Means calls will go the other way at some point… hopefully
Magic number tonight ?
Damn could catch by the techie boys.
Murray looking his best in over a month so far… 2 man disadvantage hurts
What a tool
Can you believe the Habs lost to the Oilers hahahahaha
No but I believe penguins lost to Vancouver hahahahaha
Of course you would cheer this on… typical bandwagon fan…
Nothing MM could do there 5 on 3 just to much.
Damn, if this comes back lol
So offside
I’m not a fan of this part of the rule but… it works for the good guys tonight
Agreed Murray needs to step it up hopefully the team can play well in front of him..especially in a back to back
MM is in the game hope he does well I mean we will need to expose a goalie for Seattle if the NHL does that build an instant franchise draft again.
He’s probably more valuable as trade bait, not sure if DeSmith would be that attractive, guess it would allow the team to keep the pipes full this year and make whatever call they have to this offseason… still a fair amount of trade value on the roster on top of Murray, especially at the moment
Agree on the trade bait. Hopefully the right scenario would come up to get a high return. Although had a little concern over GMJR lately but both the #13 signing and the trade for #24 seem to be working out.
Even J.J. Is suddenly not trash… I don’t trust it long term but I’m happy so far this year
Guess no hockey talk tonight on here.
Lets hope Murray gets a hockey glove for Christmas
Funny man
So sammich, is you’re entire night shot now or do you have anything left for the Penguins game?
I can still watch another game I do watch other games then Penguins unlike you bandwagons here
then hear about a trade rumours check your box score and drool accordingly thats you guys
I just figured a loss like that would have you crying into your milk and cookies tonight
*your
Apparently there is 6000 habs fans in Edmonton tonight.
Are they Lithuanian ?
Go back to bed Stan
Are they the best Lithuanian in the world?
Pens play Vancouver tonight… tune in at the end of the Pens are winning…
*if
Zero tool boy just told me your are a racist…hes a winner huh
Zero, I kept looking for you during the Edmonton game every time they showed Penguins fans in the stands. But everyone was either fat or looked strung out on heroin
Isn’t this a sammich joke?
I believe it’s delve not dive, and it’s never too early to delve into the reality that Murray is overrated.
Wait now zeroTool has jumped off Murrays wagon to jarrys
This Tool drools and sells out players on daily basis
I wonder how sheary and chubby doing this year
You’re right sam… I should be pining over the guy that blew it for a half decade here… or swing from the nuts from the name on the back of a sweater now even if the other guy is playing that much better.
Didn’t you just turn your back on Price?
Anthony Roussel was complaining
Playing at home and there are more habs saying League should not sell tickets to them
Playing at home and fans Chant go habs go
Habs Oilers there is more habs fans then Oilers fans
That from all the queebs that moved west for jobs… not only do you guys steal money annually but y’all come here and screw with our employment rates
Because no one on Edmonton works other then milking cows
The only reason people live in Edmonton its because Alberta begs people from Quebec come and work there.
Ohhhh you really seem to struggle with interprovincial dynamics… queebs came here to be grunts in the fields lol
again just passing this along from hockeybuzz.com so Tool boy don’t jump all over me just calm down boy..
Ok this is a wild one RUMOR just saw this on hockey buzz.com there are some supposed sources but seems far fetched BUT interesting check hockeybuzz see what you all think
Drew Doughty and a top prospect to Chicago
Jonathan Toews Duncan Keith to LA KIngs who then flip Keith to Florida for ANton Stralman
This is a wild one…
Story from the game last night… Jarry handed his winning stick to a little guy about 5 years old. We met little dude and his mother on the way to the car. He’s now a huge Jarry fan and likely gonna be a goalie in the future 😉
It was cute seeing this little dude carrying this towering stick lol
Story from the game last night
ZeroTool officially jumped from the wagon of Murray and hopped on jarry’s
Ive been playing Jarrys drum all year… because the teams winning you fucken dumbfuck… it’s why Murray was cheered as he replaced perennial choke artist Marc Andre Fleury… the guy who fucken blew it hard vs Washington. God it’s amazing to see how much better off the team was when they added a goalie that wasn’t a fucken sieve. Replacing that guy who seems more capable of playing consistent seasonal hockey too? Pens could see another championship maybe two… and that’s why I’m here fuckstick… that’s why you incessantly cry for a fucken choke artist who plays well until it… Read more »
Sam.who do you think the penguins add of all the players they been linked to anthansiou pageau kreider bogosian scandella Ritchie although out 10 weeks zucker out 8 weeks or somebody else..like a kolvachuk
Why would you ask the person with the least amount of hockey knowledge. Weird.
Coming from the guy that watches his games halfway
I’m a season ticket holder and watch every game till the end. Find a new line retard. You suck Sam.
well because I don’t know you really and he and I have exchanged posts.
Ill ask you then if you were the penguins GM of all the players the penguins have been linked to who would you pick Sam went off the board chode leblanc not a bad choice
off Anthansiou Pageau Kreider Scandella Zucker (now injured) Bogosian Ritchie (now injured) or someone off the board like Kovalchuk leblanc who would you acquire?
I would want Kreider or Zucker. Not crazy about those defensemen. We don’t need Leblanc we have enough 3rd and 4th liners.
I would personally go after lebanc
Not a bad choice solid player shouldn’t cost too much..
Kovalchuk would be a million and easy to fit under the cap so even if he was used in a PP capacity, you know because they are clearly missing that type of mind on the top unit, it’s an easy play. It doesn’t require a lot of thought to move bodies or cap space and it’s not meant to be a long term move…
I get that you and Sam combined have the IQ of a breakfast sandwich, and clearly are planning to share the same bunk at camp this summer, but this isn’t hard to rationalize dip shit
And there it is!
was enjoying reading your response (Kovalchuk) and post nd then the last sentence your issues and anger management problems came out as usual what’s wrong with you dude,, REALLY
Dr.PHIl IS calling needs a guest on his show your perfect YPUR A MESS..
funny thing is when you have expressed an opinion at least to me I agree with about 90 % of what you say..too bad your a tool boy so angry WHY ALL THE INSULTS DON GET IT…
Sorry you’re upset that you get called out for being a fool with your passive aggressive bullshitt…. you’ve been leaving passive aggressive posts all over the page for days now… like a bitchh… serious… like a bitchy teenage girl…
Whaaaaaaaaa Im acting like a 17 year old girl and the guy who don’t beat around the bush called me on it hahahahahaha. Fucken loser lol
How about I just leave subliminal shots for ya from now on… would that make you sleep better?
zero Tool…interesting he’s shits on me every chance he gets spits out nasty names, criticizes, rags on this or that wow. he bags on you a lot but you are way cooler than he is
I’m betting Tool Boy never put on a pair of skates…
if you say so lol
“The open racist is cooler than zero because I can speak to him on the same level… I get sad when my passive agreement comments are met head on with the word fuckk”
You need help..accusing people of racism…what’s next bro
So you’re this level low IQ… I don’t even need to explain it but it says a lot about you
He is a liberal what do you expect
When you don’t agree with liberals or democRATS you become racist ,islamaphobia ,homophobia list goes on
Hey, tell the class your reasons for why all those transfer payments are sent to Quebec again? It’s because you’re lazy or because? Can you name these “shithole countries” you keep talking about?
Word association… Kane… I say Patrick… you?
A man whose confidence is shattered, who sounds like he’s got a bad backroom attitude to take responsibility starts tonight… I’d love to see this road trip end 3-0 but Murray’s been so meh since Jarrys emergence.
I just hope he can sort it out to regain some trade value
“Garble garble Fleury garble garble garble like i said garble garble” -Sam
Get lost fatso
You think? Or same was also right when he said in 2 years or so he will be exposed and not have the same value
I saw this coming million miles away
I wonder what genius thief Npl thinks
Hey, that’s the 2 time cup winner that ended Pittsburgh’s reign as the biggest chokers of a decade.
“Sam was right” but still cheers the fucken dude you could basically set your clock to watch implode in the playoffs.
Fucken mystery they won in 09… I guess Malkin carried them well
Took 14 years to find a goalie to replace him. Because none had to do with your idol DB system and miss using his lines shut down Sid and Malkin in playoffs and series was over before even it was started .
I guess King Henrik is the biggest choker since he hasn’t gone far with the rags in 15 years 1 finals
Why do I give a fuck about Hank? What does that have to do with Pittsburgh probably missing out on another championship because MAF is weak minded?
They have Vancouver tonight the at Nashville Tuesday.nice to take 3 of 4 before holiday freeze..Jarry is stepping up big time.there were a lot of people on here and in the hockey world thought jarry wasn’t that great… we do need two good goalies so hopefully Murray snaps out of it
Npl suckks
So does the democRATS and Florida
Rutherford has done a good job adding younger, faster talent
Tanev could end up with 15
McCann has 10 should go between 15 and 20
Kahun could end up with 15
Marino has been a great get…
Jarry and murray of course
Laffery ZAR Blandesi Simon
don’t think Rutherford gets enough credit… look at Chicago and LA they went in to tail spins Rutherford has kept the penguins strong and replacing with younger parts…
Wow…another solid team effort 5-2 over the oilers.
Jarry played well, defense stepped up again, McCann goal 10 Tanev goal 8 Letang goal 9..
11-4-3 without Sidney Crosby who is skating again…anyone know how long Hornqvist is out seems like forever.
Dumo out till February!
we will need a move or two even when Sid and Horny are back be interested to see who Rutherford goes after
a lot players he was interested in are out with injuries Zucker Nick Ritchie..better to make a deal sooner or later..
You think mcdavid schooled Crosby again lol
My god you’re a fucken idiot Sam…
Pens usually have won the games but other than the outing last year…
https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/crosby-vs-mcdavid-timeline-every-superstar-showdown/
It’s 10 to 4 for McDavid in the head to head… for Crosby he plays for the far better team…
My entire comment on the subject was wanting to see Crosby do for the Penguins what McDavid does… I’m a big fan of watching the Oilers get destroyed by the Penguins because I’m the one that lives in one of the more delusional fan bases on the planet but through 6 head to head matchups the cries of McDavid is better has gone virtually unchallenged outside one game. I want to see more of the Crosby that had 4 assists in the 3rd period of a game the Pens were down 2 nothing in the first time Sid ever came… Read more »
Ok end of 2 periods we must stay structured and keep pushing can’t sit back against these guys…
Sloppy pass by Geno. Ugh.
still 3-1 pens?
3-2
bummer…
who’s in goal?
As good as Malkin is he can make some shit passes…that defy logic! (From someone so talented)
SO ZERO AND YOU TITLE FITS YOU..Since your so smart so great name one forward and one defenseman you would add if you were penguins GM you got an opinion? Coward
Zero, he’s adamant about getting someone to make an imaginary trade for a dman on every page. It takes a lot of stones to do this, but if you think you’re** up to it, name one so he can move on.
My favourite part “since zero has no opinion” hahahahaha I mean even I know I’m good at volunteering too much lol
not with me your don’t.. all you do is criticize! Todays the first actual opinion you made to me jerk off
I don’t live on here like you do bro, and I don’t call everybody nasty names that disagree, or rag on what I have to say, you have issues may need help
And why does everyone on here discuss politics weird..
Hi,,,
and what are you adamant about there Bj
Why are you Sam stupid? Guys mentioned out here that I’ve had no issues with and spoke on like Helm and Kreider… Pageau I like if he’s actually available and they think McCann is better suited on the wing. I still like Brodie… LH top 4 to round out that group with a puck mover who can skate circles around a Scandella. Even with Marinos emergence id prefer the experience of a Brodie type in the post season. Experience is why, if we look at a bottom pairing guy who could periodically step into the top 4 group I’d look… Read more »
Oh, Zucker also interests me a lot… with Galchenyk flaking right out I’d be curious if Minny would part with Zucker for Gally as a cap move. Wouldn’t be 1 for 1 but he’d be a solid add to the wing
Tyler Taffoli would also look good in Pittsburgh… he’d be an option in the same vein as Zucker…
Mike Hoffman? Ya I like him as well… although he’s a little older than the other two and that would make me prefer Zucker or Taffoli
If the leafs are still thinking of dumping Barrie? I’d be curious although I would want to be sure he’s not here for only 18 games
now **** off
wow Tool with some opinions I like it..finally
I cant say I disagree with any of them Toffoli Zucker Hoffman (although not sure he’s available) all solid choices
I wish Rutherford would move quick…..because the guys he likes or are interested are falling likes ducks Ritchie out 10 to 12 weeks Zucker out to 8 to 10 weeks……
guys get hurt I know but we wait too long more players go don’t look at our penguins..
ok ill bit WTF is a puck bunny? your a strange cat..
McDavid is good but I disagree with Sam that he’s better than Crosby. Crosby is still the best player in the league.
As an individual player he is off the charts, there is no question. But he does not play a 200 foot game, make his team mates better nor does he carry his team like Crosby does. Not yet anyway. He still has a lot to learn.
Agreed Crosby is the most complete player in the game..200 ft game plus he makes everyone arou d hi. Better…McDavid 1 playoff appearance and he has had Taylor hall jordam eberle drasital.. best dynamic offensivel player..not best overall
I never said mcdavid is better than Crosby you and your bandwagon buddies here sold Crosby out last year
Sharks won’t make the playoffs a player Penguins should go after is kevin lebanc underrated player can be a very good fit with Crosby line and have yoda cool off about Simon
And yes he is an American player
Yeah he is a solid player leblanc good call..
NHL on NBC named their top forwards of the decade…
Malkin was on their second line
Kessel on their 4th
Notable absences…
John Toews
Rick Nash
Martin St Louis
Paul Byron
Shane Doan (my favorite part is Kessel in his Phoenix jersey… Just reminds me of when sam screamed for Doan over Kessel then Doan retired and the Pens won it all twice)
Hossa and Kane made it… No Toews
Malkin 6th of the top 100 of the decade by TSN… ahead of Toews
Milbury hates the Penguins anyway. Sam the virginal bandwagon is just upset his drool candy wasn’t on it.
Mike Milbury is the American equivalent of Don Cherry. He talks and no one cares.
Hahaha nbc I bet milbury gave them the list
Yet Malkin and chubby didnt make top 100 player of all time
Toews did.. shows how fuckk awful that list was lol
Awesome… just checked the list of the voters of the top 100… Mike Milbury was one of them HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA fuckyou sam lol
Sam sucks and he lives on here. Get a life you Frog Weirdo.
Sam you talking to yourself?…i dont think anyone really cares what you have to say…ever….
hey Zero Tool stop bitching about Quebec because
It’s official: New Brunswick is now the country’s poorest province, on track for the most per capita funding in Ottawa’s equalization payments next year. The federal government’s new figure, which helps poorer provinces provide similar levels of service to citizens, will be worth $2,826 per person in New Brunswick. That’s the most ever paid to a province, according to the CBC, and narrowly surpasses payments to P.E.I. Nova Scotians will receive $2,184 per person, with $1,815 for those in Manitoba and $1,547 for Quebec.
OK… PQ has 3x the population of those provinces combined 😉
13.25 Billion…
Per capita assholee do you know what’s that no thats why you always complain Quebec gets more yes but not per capita. In 10 years Alberta will be getting most money and per capita. Outside of oil there is nothing there while Quebec has electricity and also provides to Boston new York electricity And also has one of the best Lithuanian in the world incase you and Npl don’t know that it is used for electric cars which that is the future once 2025 they stop making gas cars And another reason why Quebec gets money is because they don’t… Read more »
Lithuanian — “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
WTF does Lithuania have to do with this?
*Lithuanian LOL
Nice Princes Bride reference.
HAHAHAHAHA Lithuanian hahahahaha
“And another reason why Quebec gets money is because they don’t want Quebec leave Canada. Quebec doesnt need Canada. Canada needs Quebec” – A lot of words for PQ is full of fucken lazy assholles living off the tax dollars of others
Credit where it is due sammich… youve managed to fall ass-backwards into a better understanding of the economics of your own country… yet still so far away. Until you figure it out… What a bunch of filthy lazy money grabbing losers…
Maybe I was wrong about the Cons… the ones that want to significantly change this system so that PQ doesnt grab 13.25 billion annually…
Vote for liberals and thats what you get they fill up the province with bunch if free loaders to get votes and Quebec never separates. Some thing they did with Ontario filled up shitholee country people in Toronto so they win votes always
Are they Lithuanian?
That was a 100% copy and paste post.
D I like the Comment if Sully would go Full DB lol
but last i checked DB was the hero on this board up until same was right again and exposed him as a fraud and became right again and broke droolers heart
not very huge fan of Scum sully but yet he has a shorter Leash then DB despite he won 2 stanley
Ugh… You didn’t understand the comment did you… There was worry he would stagnate but he has done the exact opposite you dumbfuck
How does he have a short leash?
d makes it sound as though sullivan has really been climbing the corporate latter
say we get Tyler Ennis speedy playmaking center $800,000 great add
Crosby Guentzel Kahun
Malkin McCann Rust
Ennis Tanev Hornqvist
Bluger ZAR Simon
WE HAVE SPEED DOWN THE MIDDLE LIKE OUR CUP YEARS and more speed when you sprinkle in McCann Tanev Kahun Simon
move Galchenyuk
Move Bjugstad
you free up $9 million
Add Scandella and I’ll plan the parade route.
Why does everyone think it will be so easy to move both Galchenyuk and Bjugstad so easily and think that there will be no cap hit in return unless JR dumps them for late round picks. Galchenyuk has been a train wreck and Bjugstad has missed 18 games last season, only played 10 so far this season and he has a total of 1 goal.
It won’t be that easy, it’s why I laugh at this fucken idiot when he gets butthurt over his ideas.
Ultimately I think both carry value and can be traded but what it will take to not have to retain salary is what worries me. Although Gally is at the end of his deal so he would be a lot easier to move.
They are both talented and young…just need a different fit..can be moved..
Ahahaha once again same was right matter time Murray BS will be exposed
Hey Yoda did you miss fleury and his positive smile yet ?
Fraud Murray 7.m range I wouldn’t even pay 7$ to this bum as jarrys water boy
Sam since zero doesn’t actually have an opinion on anything who would y target if yo were Gm of the Penguins?
Give me a forward and a defenseman you would target?
Lol @SID4800 you two
right now at the moment
I would Move Galchenyuk he brings nothing to the table and has more value then Bjugstad why more value maybe because he has more Raw Talent bjgustad would be next forwart to move as well
when it comes to do like it or not id move schultz with bjugstad with 2nd round pick and get Alex Pietrangelo and OSKAR SUNDQVIST
or malkin and 2nd and get Pietrangelo and Shenn
I bet St Louis is all over that lol
how about Doan
You tell me… You were all over his nuts when Kessel arrived
I love Sam(e)’s unrealistically absurd trade ideas. Maybe Simon, ZAR and a 2nd Tampa for Kucherov and a 3rd.
Well Murray is struggling and to hear he is arrogant and the team doesn’t like his practice habits doesn’t spell well for long term deal…. Rust keep it going stay healthy Schultz if he cant stay on the ice he may be out of Pittsburgh sooner than later… Anaheim needs a right handed d-man big time and while tough two way grinder Nick Ritchie 23 was a target of Rutherford in the past he out 12 weeks so maybe Slverberg or rakell???? We still need another dman especially if we move Schultz watching the isalnders beat Boston in OT neither… Read more »
Too much success too early. He has been guilty of being dismissive and unable to wear accountability but I thought it might be a media thing. If he’s like that behind the scenes then he needs a significant wake up… more reasons to say bye
And Dekeyser is trash!
yeah Zero he is still better than that slug jack Johnson…..so…
Johnson’s been pretty solid this year honestly. I’d like to get Kreider off of the Rags or Pageau off the Sens. The lineup makes no sense right now with everybody healthy. Hornqvist and Bjugstad just dont fit the speed game, Horny is still useful but not for 5.5 mil. Between Horny Bjugs And Galchensuck, that’s 15 million in unnecessary contracts. Sucks we lost Noesen for nothing. Still wondering why we sent him down though considering there’s only 12 healthy forwards? Unless Sid is making a magic comeback against McDavid tomorrow
Chase57….. You spot on……I doubt the Rangers will deal Kreider to an in division rival..one can hope. Pageau another solid add not sure what it will take…..Jack Johnson, yes he is playing better but he is slower than Fat Albert in the mile run…:)
well Sid has been skating for a week now and that’s really good news plus after the next three games there will be the week holiday freeze which will give him more time and missing no games…
I’d like to see
Guentzel Crosby Simon:(
Kahun Malkin Rust
Kreider McCann Hornqvist
ZAR Blueger Tanev
Lafferty as 13
Galchenyuk and Bjugstad just don’t fit and Simon can **** off if we could make an upgrade there but whatever Sid wants he’ll get. There’s definitely alot of trade options between
Galchenyuk 5
Bjugstad 4
Riikola 700k
Murray 3.5
Draft picks
Legare
Poulin
Addison
Not that I’d trade Murray but there’s definitely options to truly perfect the roster this year. Kahun, Tanev, Blueger and McCann, hell even Lafferty’s speed have really made the team hard to keep up with
I like it Chase 57 I would put Kahun with Crosby he is faster and is a better goal scorer than Simon with.
.That’s a nice 3rd line you have there bro….
Kreider McCann Hornqvist size speed and grit….
I think Addison, Pierre Oliver Joseph and Marino are our future on defense..Rikola is under appreciated always does well when he is in there… good skater and puck mover
FORGOT ABOUT LAFFERTY.. loL
Here is a tough question… Would you consider trading Hornqvist? IF there was a taker? Missing a lot of hockey, last year there was definitely slowing with his injuries and that is a 5+ salary. I think adding a Kreider type I wuold see what the market for Hornqvist would be.
Agreed Chasc57
Kreider would be a nice add, fits the mold, add grit with more of a scoring touche we normally see on the lower lines
This is what is hilarious… Johnson has been playing very good hockey this year and for far less than Dekeyser you fucken dumbshit! And I was clamouring for a Brodie type much of the year because I do believe, if they up grade, it shouldnt be to the bottom six you fucken simpleton. So I dont repeat dudes name non fucken stop ad nauseam because its fucken pointless to speculate. I would rather have miller from Buffalo too… pretty sure I already voiced this fuckface.
Honka from Dallas also piques interest as he is young as well as potentially good
*bottom pair
Happy holidays asshole you parents brought you up well..what a loser you are fuck face dumb shit that…why so much anger dude you need laid or need help
At least they were able to educate me… Can’t say the same for you. This is why your considered one of the dumbest posters on the board lol…
I do find the self victimization cute. You freakout then cry like a bitch because I responded!
Educate him by voting trudeau a beta male
Die mad about it sammich… your guys all lost because they SUCK
Ok your probably a fat ass bald piece of crap..hey your rep ain’t so hot on here either according to many. A hole..you been on here alor longer than me. If im a dumb poster its short lived you a long term a hole..poster. at least i have an opinion unlike you who just criticizes everyone..
Since you seem to know sooo much what defenseman would you recommend? How about putting yourself out there for a change instead always just responding to someone else post!!..Have you ever thought about that or done that?
who you got? forward / defenseman who should the penguins target of great GM Zero? LOL
Dekeyser is out for the year!
It probably wont stop him from talking incessantly about the guy tho
did not know that thanks…..
Zero suck a big one tool….
