Penguins/NHL
When discussions among pundits started over the summer about whether the Penguins should move one of their core players, namely Evgeni Malkin, a hot topic of why the Penguins should consider selling high on Malkin as he nears 30 years old was his body the last couple seasons started to break down during the second half of seasons.
Now I’m not saying at all that the Penguins should have traded Malkin or should be considering it, but Malkin unable to stay healthy throughout the long grind of a season is something that can’t be overlooked.
In 2012-2013, Malkin missed 17 of 48 games. In 2013-2014 Malkin missed 22 of 82 games. Last season Malkin missed 13 of 82 games, a two week stretch in late January through early February and another two week stretch in March that he never recovered from as he was not healthy at all during the post-season.
This season Malkin is a good bet again to miss 10+ games.
Missing his third straight game Monday night, Malkin is not close to returning to the lineup and has been ruled out for the rest of the week.

What is written here can be easily solved by managing it if indeed an issue of “breaking down”. Not trading him, but managing personnel decisions game-to-game and giving these guys a break. Malkin’s problem isn’t the minutes logged, its how he plays. They need to consult Tim Thomas about the wonders of Yoga regarding flexibility and making age a non-issue.
Groin not knee
Habs are shopping for Weise,Tom gilbert and thomas Fleichman.
I know Fehr is going to be back at certain point but he can be good with Fleichman
and last pens were looking for a stayhome Defense well Gilbert can be that guy and blocks alot of shots
now if only pens can get rid of lovejoy and Cole
No.
Why are the Habs shopping for Weise? They already have him!?
Tom Gilbert is my favorite Russian player.
and Sonic is your Favorite Hot dog Headquarters
Where are you hearing that zerocool?
It’s fan chatter, disregard!
Grabner could be had for a mid-round pick I am hearing… I know he is enigmatic but has shown 30 goals before. I wonder how well he would fit into the speed game. FA at years end.
Although Komorov is possibly available too
komorov been my favorite russian player i wanted him here since day 1 when he wanted to come back to the nhl .he doesnt have a good shot but gets to the dirty areas alot and annoys the shittt out of the other players
He’s Finnish.

Half clown . I knew you or Gaydogg will come with this stats ha Never disappointed
Leo Komarov holds dual Russian-Finnish citizenship
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Komarov
Half. So he’s russian in same way I’m italian. Making him a Russian player. He’s a Finn. And you’re a moron.
It’s on Wikipedia, Sam has you beat.
I remember when he tried to pretend Galchenyuk was Russian too. Born in Milwaukee!
komarov played for Finland because he wasnt good enough For team Russian .just like Brett hull he has dual citizenship played for U.S because he wasnt good enough for canada
lupul is available too but i dont want that number 19# we already have 19# that is often injured unless they can share that number since chances are both wont be playing at the same time Ha!
hey D any news when pens are playing vs the Rangers kinda tired of seeing the Russians article here we all know he is out from day to day to a few months since he wont show up come Playoffs
It’s time to start taking these thumb votes more seriously people. You’re mostly adults. Starting acting like it.
And with that said, let’s consider this post as a petition. If this comment gets 10-1=9 votes, that’s 9 total thumbs up votes, D will have to strongly consider kicking Sam off TIOPS permanently. Vote away!
It’s time to start taking your Diet Seriously you fat fuckk NPL10
I give you credit on motivating yourself – but you don’t have to type it out – just write it down and keep it in your wallet – or text yourself. WE dont’ need to see it.
He added NPL to the end of it, hahaha.
you and stan are 2 fools that are all behind this thumbs up thumbs down B.S
If you don’t care. Give daddy a thumbs up on this post.
i heard DB was humping Kane last night after kane had 3 fights in 1 game

Here’s a little more light reading if you guys are bored:

Still way better than MT 1 cup-0
What’s the corsi of the day?
Christian Ehrhoff on waivers.
-1? I guess he’s not on waivers….my bad.
Haha. What savage would do such a thing?
you
Sorry but I had to go thumbs down on this one.
not suprised another ex Pens member on waivers. waivers or healthy scratch yet with pens they are top 6 defense. i wonder if gayjoy gets traded how long team would healthy scratch him or send him waivers
players that should be traded this year kessel,Bennett,Lovejoy Cole and Bonino
I wonder what they all have in common Stan
They all blew your mom?
Close stan we will give you marks for that but the answer we were looking for… his mom blew all of them… his mom blew all of them.
But his mom has a penis.
My bad… you were correct
It was a trick question all along. They 69’d.
Unless it happened all at once… then we run into a human centipede kind of thing
both apply I am sure
hemaphrodite?
have you noticed ever since JR is the GM and bringing in american players its a bust only move he did good was Dailey and happens to be a canadian boy. the rest beeen brutal moves
None of the Americans took half a season off to steal a paycheck.
Gotta give it up to Sam & Yoda for stepping their game up, I honestly didn’t think they could get any dumber.
Do note how Yoda’s argument changed – originally, next season was their 49th year – then it transitioned to “anniversary,” because he’s too dumb to live. I particularly like this one: “lets do the 3rd grade equation together. in the pens 1st season, the cup was awarded in 1968. 2018-1968=50 next season is the 49th year.” It’s funny on two levels, because next season is their 50th year, not their 49th. And because, in 2018, it’ll be the 51st time the cup was awarded since their inception. Aside from all of that, he’s dead on. It’s like giving people a… Read more »
I like how he predicted they wouldn’t make the playoffs, and recently predicted they would. Then, at the end of the season, he will talk about how his prediction was right.
Let’s put this in terms Yoda would understand. Their 1967 season would’ve been the first, 1968 was second, even though 1968 is only one year after. Like when you celebrate Christmas when you’re 20 is your 21st Christmas celebrated.
However, once they start to play well, I have the right to change my opinion on everything I just said below here.
We dont expect you to get it right. E.g. Range factor
I’m going to predict that the pens are old, stink, have no young talent, stars are spoiled divas and have no goalie. They will not make the playoffs.
That one time Sam called himself bilingual

What is loss for bruins. Specially at home I’m sure TD garden was a morgue
What is loss, baby don’t hurt me.
No more
Bell museum is about to explode
Bennett Retire yet ??
He retired from blowing your mom.
Acl injuries usually take about 4 weeks provided its a slight tear
why did the pens put out a 50th year logo when that isn’t until 2 seasons? 67-68 + 50 years = 2017-18
because by 2017 team will be moved or empty arena
Then do the Pittsburgh fanbase a favor and root for someone else. Maybe one of those gutless teams that call Canada home. You’re both losers so it would be a good fit.
I think that’s when they finalized the aspects of having a team here.
50th year since it was awarded.
Check your math dildo. Next year is the 50th season. Can’t even fucking do that right. Go figure.
lets do the 3rd grade equation together. in the pens 1st season, the cup was awarded in 1968.
2018-1968=50
next season is the 49th year
Let’s make it even easier since you’re so ungodly slow. What season would be their tenth, yogurt? You’re making yourself look true to form retarded. Which tells me you can’t help it.
so you are saying if you are born in 1967, you turn 10 in 1976? when you pop out of the womb you don’t start at age 1. it takes a year to turn 1. if the pens 1st season was 67-68, the 50th anniversary is day one of the 17-18 season.
What year. Is their. Tenth. Year.
so in other words, the 1st year the season starts is the 1st year but the actual calendar date of the end of the year marks the calendar anniversary but since the stats are in the books for the 1st year year 49 is actually year 50 because in 1947 aliens crashed in roswell and the actual 50th anniversary was in 1996 not 1997. got it! thanks!
So you can’t figure it out. I mean, why not just say that? If it’s above you, don’t waste everyone’s time.
What a fucking retard “The effort was successful, and on February 8, 1966, the National Hockey League awarded an expansion team to Pittsburgh for the 1967–68 season. ” The 17-18 season will be the 50th season but the franchise was awarded in Feb 8th 1966, that is why the 50th logo was released that day. Christ, between you and fatasssame the IQ must hover around 40 combined
You win Yoda, you know math more than every single person in the organization.
You mean since the boone jenner incident
At least he didn’t lose his balls like Bruce.
Mat Latos got a one year, $3M deal. Are you fucklng kidding me? Still hopeful for the season based off the talent returning alone, but officially bummed about this offseason.
They missed the boat there
I think the bucs would of had to of blown him away…his wife claims she got assaulted here…..say what you may, i bet that soured him on the pirates
would have, not of….had to have, not had to of…..or would’ve
Deplorable.
Mike Johnston’s forehead
HAHAHA. Always one of my favorite pictures.
D I dont know if you are doing this on purpose or not but last 2 articles are amazing . One Fraud to another keep it coming hope your next article is one of them got traded
“from one fraud to another, keep it coming.”

Fraud? No, he’s very much a homosexual.

Malkin had 15 points in the last 12 games he played you clown. If Crosby didn’t take off the first half of the season, we would easily be in 2nd place in the division. Malkin has been our most consistent forward this year and it’s not even close. How is every single one of your posts more idiotic than the previous one? Education must not be a priority in Quebec.
this is the perfect age to trade Malkin while he has some Value right before it starts going down he wont have more value then yesterday everyday his value is dropping .But i guess pens got kessel to use him as bait before they use Malkin. because before kessel arrived pens i am sure tough of shipping the russian away when things were always bad come playoffs.Anyhow team can always listen to fans like Stan and go for letang ,and Crosby trade
This is the perfect age for Sam to learn how to color inside the lines
If pens Trade kessel Malkin Gayjoy and Bennett trust me this team will be a better team for the next 5 to 8 years but if we keep these clowns this team is only good for next 2-3 years before the collapse starts
Just because you want to get rid of players doesn’t mean we will get fair value in return. I fear for this team long term with the lack of vision from upper management. The Kessel trade is looking worse and worse IMO, and you want to trade away Malkin?
now that pens have kessel he can take the bait before malkin. next year 10m to play 12mins and possibly on 3rd line
They paid Sid $12 for half a season. So that’s still a bargain for kessel.
lazy Russian puts a show early season when most players start playing more intense after janary.. but the russian is the opposite once he hits January he becomes invisible .
Thats why they gave him the Conn Smythe, because of his invisibility.
Ohhh I get it. Language barrier… you mean, invincible. Got it.
still living in 09
Semin was good too back then
Hahaha, Im living in 09! Remember when you wanted to sign Martin St. Louis and he retired a day later?
Dont speak to soon french fry, the mister fragile thats in the line up on defense is about to have that month long injury like he does every year
how is porcelain boy doing ? apparently bennett has more chemistry with the doctors than his line mates
as i said trade the russian before its too late every year around this time of the year he takes small vacation then come playoffs he disappears .and when he goes to play for Russia all of a sudden he is healthy more energy. just like last year when he took 2 months off then everything was okay once he landed to Russia
Getting ready for the WC.
this actually made me laugh
Regardless, I’d rather him get fully healthy in time for the playoffs if the team can continue to play well without him.
