Penguins/NHL
Is the Penguins
First-Round Pick in Play?
The San Jose Sharks for the second time this season gave the Pittsburgh Penguins of what should be a reality check again.
One team is an elite Stanley Cup Contender and one team in Pittsburgh just isn’t.
That continues to be the reality for this Penguins team.
San Jose flexed their muscles in being a faster, stronger, and deeper team than Pittsburgh. San Jose is so deep in some areas that Kris Letang would be a third pairing ‘Right D’ on their squad.
Pittsburgh entered this one winning four of five but it wasn’t a winning four out of five stretch that the organization should have felt great about. Pittsburgh has a lot of questions with the deadline three days away but a lot of their growing issues are issues that really can’t be addressed till the summer. They’ve hamstrung themselves against the cap with $80 million tied into 16 players for next season and potential trade assets with high cap hits are becoming depreciated assets moving forward.
Has Phil Kessel reached his expiration date in Pittsburgh? His decision making with the puck in high traffic area has been as bad as it can get for the last little while. Pittsburgh’s opportunity to sell high has sailed.
Patric Hornqvist has reached the point where you have to start wondering if he’s finally breaking down. There’s always a high risk in the type of deal he got at his age for a player who has to work as hard as he does to score goals and has taken so much punishment with his style of play. There’s signs the hands are gone.
Tanner Pearson’s game is such a mess he now feels the need to try to drop the gloves to stay in the lineup.
Penguins’ GM Jim Rutherford being all-in on Jack Johnson is also something else. The dead-weight on the roster continues to get greatly exposed against the upper echelon teams.
This sequence on the penalty kill is what makes Jack Johnson’s game so maddening.
Johnson’s defensive awareness/instincts are so below average it has him constantly making decisions like this where he’s leaving his area of the ice for no reason.
Here the Penguins are on the penalty kill and Johnson for some in-excusable reason darts towards the blueline and from there it was a snow-ball effect as Matt Cullen also follows suit in leaving his lane and then Chad Ruhwedel decides to put the exclamation point on the blooper field sequence.
Four Penguins caught on one side.
The fascinating thing to watch with the Penguins poor performance vs the Sharks is whether it will put the Penguins first round pick in play for a player or two they’re chasing. As Pittsburgh’s trade board is at 4-5 players, sources tell TIOPS Rutherford has been strongly advised by his staff to [hide] not put their first round pick in play for any of their remaining targets. But, no one close to the situation is 100% sure that will be the case.
Pittsburgh’s lack of second-round picks available in the next two drafts has been problematic in getting traction in talks for a couple targets who are expected to go for a second round pick/+ prospect.
— Little to no surprise in the Penguins organization that the Capitals acquired Carl Hagelin. Hagelin was on the Caps radar for weeks, — Buffalo, Montreal and Columbus — also looked into Hagelin, and the Penguins always knew the percentages were high Hagelin would end up back in the Eastern Conference by the deadline. There was a lot of disappointment in the organization, including the head coach, when Pittsburgh traded Hagelin, but the General Manager ultimately decided he needed to shakeup the room and make things uncomfortable for the group as Hagelin was an extremely popular player in the room.
Prior to completing the deal with Los Angeles in November, Pittsburgh had the option to move Hagelin to Buffalo for a conditional third round draft pick that could have turned into a second round pick, but Rutherford was only interested in a player-for-player type deal.
How comforting for the Penguins will it be if Carl Hagelin scores an overtime winner vs them in the playoffs when they’re paying a portion of his cap hit? [/hide]
This site blows. Must be running off of some server in Canada.
Preds interested in granlund
The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired goaltender Keith Kinkaid from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2022 fifth-round pick, the Blue Jackets
That means bye bye bobrovsky
I think the pens will bounce back from this sharks loss.
How does he not have a TDL article…that’s pretty bad.
Did we crash yet ?
I see you gave yourself a +5. Funny considering no one else was on here. I figured you’d have both of your accounts ready on deadline day.
Brian Gibbons traded to Ottawa. Another garbage player this board drooled all over because he put up points with sid.
Nyquist to the Sharks for a 2 and a 3. I would have wanted him or Simmonds. Can’t see how you add Simmonds after last night.
Is Letang dead?
Still not sure how he even got hurt.
Who else did French Weirdo Sam chase off of here? There’s been so many.
Apparently DePaoli
D started to disappear the minute this fat fuckk signed up
I remember GenoMalkin. That dude was a piece of shlt but Sam still chased him away. Eric was weird and not very bright. So much so that I think he might go by Dustin now.
I’m still here. Haven’t commented in over a year though.
Oh great, Gayy Cory is still here.
Whatever happened to that dude from Philly that had 2 acccounts but just changed the #’s at the end?
Lord I lay me down to sleep, hope our first round pick we keep. If its traded before I wake please take JJ with it.
That doesn’t rhyme
Hey what do you want its late I am going to bed.
Islanders Sign 37 years old seidenberg 700k 1 year pro-rated
Maybe pens can sign gonchar loll
Bruins sign Lee Stempniak.
All for AHL teams.
Is the site down yet?
So many good posters French Weirdo Sam chased away… Stan, Fruitbat, DBE, Schaff, Beerman, daburgh, bridge, moderator, hooksdeke, balthazzar
Somebody thumbs down this fool already
At least two of those posters died.
Who?
Two? I know we lost Beerman, who else?
Stanchion
Stan is on this site he just changed it to carramrod.
And moderator was tbj
And yet they say I have multiple accounts
Kid thinks he’s a high end hockey analyst… can’t see the simple, yet very obvious, differences between Stans posts vs Ramrods lol
Really hmm let’s try this hope you are smart enough to catch on Stan account disappeared 1 week or so later Rod came .let’s say it’s coincidence no problem Both character don’t like letang Can’t happen since letang is not a franchise player not there to please everyones taste Both character loves malkin possible since half penguins fan base are blinded by that con man Both characters loves fraud Murray. Possible since he won so called 2 cups. See I’m on your side zero. But explain me this how is this coincidence both characters bring nothing to this site other… Read more »
1. I never once defended MM.
2. I never once defended Geno.
3. Letang is bashes by half the board bc he is still a turn over machine and plays bad defense even though he is having a bounce back season.
4. The thumbs down patterns all changed the second I called you out for always have extremly high thumbs ups while everyone you disgareed with had massive thumbs down in just mins. But that must be coincidental.
I make posts when there is something worth posting. 90% of your posts are about democrats, the wall, how the state of Florida sucks, npl is fat, did Murray get hurt yet, your Fleury, your/our/my Russian, that the PPC arena is a museum yet you never stepped foot in the state of Penn, and how you turn what people say about you on them bc you know it is true. So again, what do you bring to this site besides english as a 13th language and your bromance with Dustin?
He didn’t actually pass on did he?
Penguins loss 3 defence in 1 week or so this is a sign penguins should be sellers and think the future
Letang, Murray and Kessel for Carey price
Habs like blue colour hard workers under julien. I doubt they would want lazy kessel and fraud Murray
Arizona retires Shane doan #19 tonight.
Hey droolers any chance penguins get Doan tomorrow. After all it’s trade deadline and his name rumour is an annual thing according to some clowns here
The guy you wanted after he retired?
Do you think the Pens are tanking so they arent forced to eat hamberders at the White House?
No they are tanking so bandwagon fans like you disappears for good. They finally got tired of your kind
Get lost buddy just get lost while you can. You have no purpose to be here. You have done enough to chase people away from this website. Go bother on other sports websites and make sure you bring your multiple accounts with you.
I hate basketball but this is hilarious…. The Lakers bus left without Head Coach Luke Walton and had to go back and get him. Poor bastard.
Wish that happened with scum sully and fraud Murray forget them at their hotel while they’re making love
Making love
I say we trade out 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick so we can trade Pearson for Simmonds.
Same, How about Letang for a non-Frenchman with a holeless heart. Drool drool.
I gotta say…. Night before trade deadline AND night after the antics that occurred in the Flyers game. D not having an article up is super disappointing
You’re Joking right? DePaoli doesn’t know it’s the trade deadline.
Agreed. I never cared about his articles because they were somewhat late news. But a day after flyer’s stadium game the type of loss they had and a day before trade deadline you would expect something. It’s sad and disappointing. He doesn’t even market his website because he has nothing to offer and the 10 members that he has pays for his so called website mind you having clowns like npl that chased good posters from this website doesn’t help it either
Mcshady ,xxx,lancer,kingpuck to name a few all left because of that stupid fat fuckk
Montour traded to Buffalo… good! Maybe it’s a good sign… although I’ve heard grumbling about McQuaid…. that’s another negatory
For defenseman Brendan Guhle and a first-round pick.
I’d trade Maatta, Pearson and a #3 in 2020 draft for Kreider. If Kreider resigns with Pens then it’s a #1. You’d think NYR would do that deal.
Enough with your dumb asss none sense drooling 1st you are overpaying to get that player. Team overpaid to get players to please bandwagon’s like you and look and the mess they are in. 2nd this team has to sell and think next year. And 3. Kreider most probably going to the bruins. Now you may stop drooling
The drool puddle is getting deep boys!
Coming from you that hurts Same.
How many times will this site crash tomorrow? I’ll say 5.
You’re assuming DePaoli moves beyond the Sharks fallout
The Sharks fallout crushed him.
Who cares about this site. Just make sure you keep your TV on tomorrow
Pens biggest trade asset is Bjugstad. Move him now before his value plummets like Murray’s
Zuccarello Hurt in first game with Stars. Out 4 weeks. Now that’s tough luck.
He had 2 points
Just like Sam(e) and Dusty….always late to the party. Lol.
How the hell did we not pick up Zuccarello I mean that would go perfect with this season.
Ceci and boedker healthy scratched
I say ride out the season, if JR wants to make minor tweeks, have at it but come the summer time take off the shackles, make everyone not named Crosby available and see what is out there.
Zuc out atleast 4 weeks.
Pens need to be sellers trade chubby ,mattaa and bjugstad and prepare for next year
Let’s say you droolers want pens to make the playoffs who can then beat in East? Have you guys tough about it
Habs,bruins,tampax jackets, capitals, leafs ? I really hope I’m wrong about my this year early prediction when I said penguins will miss playoffs and team goes far and surprise me so far this year I haven’t been surprised they are playing the way I was thinking they are inconsistent
Best case scenario is they get top wild card. They would then have to beat the islanders, caps and then whomever wins the other side. They don’t have to beat all 7 other teams, so it’s pointless to list them all.
Listen I know they don’t have to beat all but I put few teams names pointing out pens are weaker then all if they have to play a 7 games series with any of them. You guys want them make the playoffs.but who are we kidding after that. Just sit and hope our power play specialists shows up come playoffs
Once again thumbs down crew is at its best when Sam is right. Why don’t you bring something on this board instead of hiding and thumbs downing everything you fat fuckk
It’s NPL. He works for D, which is why we don’t get any articles, but a ton of thumbs down.
Anything is possible with that democRat fat fuckk
Hey droolers zuccarello 2 points so far with the stars and there is still 3rd period to play. Now you may cry in a corner clowns
Some sad drooler that wanted him here jinxed him now zuccarello will be out 4 weeks after blocking a shot
Pens could get Simmons but Sullivan doesn’t believe in that style of play. He expects you to take your beating.
He believes in your murray
Anyone think GMJR is up yet? I cant wait to see what our first rounder brings this year.
The last 4 fights the pens had knocked every guy out of the lineup. Nice!!!
Some new names for the pens and they all make me want to puke in disgust. The pgh gandhi’s, the pgh desciples of Christ, the pgh moral high ground, the pgh pusssies. This team is a disgrace.
Who told you the pens were getting concussed and beat up right out of the playoffs? You betcha, your prophet did. Pens are getting everything they deserve. No muscle or fighters, you’ll get your head smashed in in today’s new NHL. It’s a copy cat league and tom Wilson set the tone. The pens had their big psycho and the coach tells the pens to follow the lord Jesus and turn the other cheek. In real life that’s a noble philosophy perhaps but in the nhl which is boarderline WWE, it’s dumb. Stick a fork in the pens.
D anyways you can contact your employee npl so he can send you Murray’s 2 GIFS. So you can put up in your new article
Its confirmed Wayne Simmonds wont be suspended
Good. He doesn’t deserve to be.
Florida suckss
So does Npl10
I agree with Maloni. Go get Quick.
Pens looking at Montour now? Per Simply Dusty… sorry, Dan Kingerski
This name came up last year too!
Waste. Don’t do it
Unless it’s a longer term fix that potentially means they dump a mistake we are on the same page here.
I’ve never heard of Montour or Kingerski. I wouldn’t waste my time on the internet reading about either…..but you on the other hand… go for it.
Not a surprise…I also find it hilarious that you claim you’re not “wasting time” on the Internet but are out here fucking daily
I have to ask, why are so many people that incompetent online that they make simple surfing sound like a chore?
I think D’s. Favourite employee npl hasn’t provided him Murray’s last nights 2 GIFS
So now we are going have to wait a little longer for a new article to be posted
Did anyone catch the report out of Canada that the Pens tried to reacquire Hagelin but couldn’t because of a league rule about the terms of his previously trade. Unbelievable.
Yet the league was okay with capitals con job with orpig earlier this year
The article was a hockey feed story, I’m not sure of the validity of it as hockey feed is prone to garbage
But the Caps can circumvent the salary cap with Orpik.
So update, there are some claiming it was mentioned on TSN last night. If JR traded then tried to reacquire the guy I’m about done with him. I wanted Brassard to workout but the way the team was playing at the time he was acquired he wasn’t needed. JJ signing was dumb as fuck, I’d rather have Oleksiak… then Hags for Pearson? Worked for like a week… but to admit that and go back after him? I don’t want to lose Guerin while JR continues to make decisions post expiry date. I mean he’s the kind of guy that could… Read more »
Yes. It was reported during leafs game last night.
DePaoli is still assessing the fallout from the sharks game
If this GM has real balls. Kessel would’ve played his last game with penguins yesterday
It’s a buyers market… means values have come down. If the Pens make any large moves, which I doubt, it’s in the off-season
Exactly pens should think about next year now before its too late
Funny how sam always says something few years before and labelled as crazy, stupid, and yet becomes right. Man this Murray thing is becoming more and more clear pens made mistake and will hunt them When penguins won first cup with Murray what did I say he has nothing proven yet and watch following season saw a lot of holes and inconsistent won the cup thanks to fleury playing 90% of the year Murray’s stock was as high it was going to get and I said trade him and maattaa to flames get tkchuck or monahan along with Hamilton. Now… Read more »
You literally said these dumb things while the Pens were on the road to their second consecutive cup you fucken moron
He’s very dumb.
Letang possible neck injury? All these guys sam wants gone to get best value now and this was the one the team actually won without.
Definitely cannot trade Jarry and if 8 and 58 are out longer term it’s time to simply prepare for next year. Hopefully this is what JR needs to not sell the farm for some sort of “run” this year. The team needs significant retooling and goal continues to be too inconsistent. Depressing… these outdoor games tend to leave the Pens a fucken mess
As I said this team has a lot of holes in their game and it starts from the net if you can’t have consistency in net during season it’s useless too get all the players you want I told you guys Murray situation will hunt and no one agreed with me .after this season GMJR should step down. I know you droolers still waiting another trade to happen. But how much more can you have penguins have done the most moves during the season how much more you want teams make moves. Usually teams get scared to make a lot… Read more »
Dumoulin concussion
I’m f’n pissed. We had a goalie who was drafted to save the franchise, played with a bunch of clowns and eventually after the cavalry came, won our city a cup. We then turn the team over to some f’n half ass drunk who can’f stay healthy in order to win a cup of his own.
F you Murray.
F you Sully.
F you pappy.
Bring back my f’n goalie and get this clown and his butt buddy coach on the first ticket out of Pittsburgh. I’m sick.
As mentioned below by many posters here, we’re stuck with the drunk. Nobody is going to want Murray and his addiction. The Crosby Malkin window is closed. Son of a bitchh.
Whatever you say homophobe…
Remember 1990! Pens failed to meet expectations. Missed playoffs and drafted Jagr 5th overall. Rest is history. Tank for the lottery!
If 8 @SID4800 58 are out a while we are in deep Murray. The board censor doesn’t let you say shit
doesnt matter
This team will be lucky to get out of the first round. Save the 1st round pick and the 4ths and try and trim some fat over the offseason or work on some kind of big trade in the summer. Any trade they make now will just be a waste of what little commodities this team has left. Not worth it. GMJR did his job, time for fresh blood in the front office.
I heard Calgary looking for playoff goalie. Maybe fraud Murray can go their and steal the other goalies glory.
Tank for Hughes!
Ottawa will win the lottery and then he will be on his way to Colorado.
Hey npl fatso make sure you provide those 2 gifs of Murray to your employer D. So he can have them for tomorrow’s article
English as a 13th language.
I think tbj,stan and mstartari were watching the game together at their annual pyjamas party.
Rumours is that they all turned off their TV early to night and played sully and Murray under their sheets
It’s so funny how unoriginal you are and how only you and your bromance buddy Dustin think I am this Stan person. He was probably one of your other accounts.
Ohh so now stan account was mine too. Good one. Keep up your stupidity you’re on the right track to be a section 8 like npl
“Stan account was mine too.” Sam(e)-
Shocking.
I didn’t watch it. I had my own hockey game. I’m over outdoor games. Money grab. Sam, how’s your night buddy?
Was good up until fraud Murray decided magic number was 4 again
I might have to believe the Dusty story that Murray is a drunk. Dude is so frustrating. Monday will suck when Rutherford trades all our picks for a 6th defenseman and another 3rd line center.
Definitely issues somewhere between Murray’s ears but the alcoholic thing? I mean highly unlikely and due to it coming from Dusty’s keyboard it can be written off as dumb as fuck…. that said, based on the lil homophobes recent history, it could have come from a major player in reporting hockey stories and sold as his own idea to the board lol
You have that right went to just one outdoor game was a total rip off for the fans. They split up our section from Arena and had us all over the place. Couldn’t see the game because all the crap in front of us. Took hours to get out of parking lot.
I never understood the allure of the outdoor game. It translates like crap on TV, there are way too many of them so the novelty has worn off, they keep using the same teams, the ticket prices are insane and they create an “alternate” jersey just to sell more merchandise. They should have one outdoor game a year on New Years day and that is it. Horrible money grab.
Totally agree. What you posted is what’s wrong with it.
Should have kept reading lol
That’s what soured me. They give all the good seats to corporate sponsors. They have to many of these games each season.
I was never a huge fan of the idea in the manner it’s used today. It’s marketing ploy to sell jerseys
For this team to have fought all night and to lose this way…..just dis hearting
It’s obvious fraud Murray wasn’t tested much earlier. Minute flyer’s start shooting more. Our 2 time deserving Stanley cup champion got exposed
Imagine MAF wasn’t such a fucking head cased for half a decade, then we’d have a capable goalie… oh wait, he collapsed last year too.
Reality, Murray won, MAF struggled, we’d be in the same position either way
We are talking about tonight did MAF play?
No but certain members of the board forget the times MAF struggled, or at least understood why once upon a time! This asshole doesn’t
Have MAF now team wouldn’t be 9th spot today instead be metropolitan leaders
Then playoff MAF collapses?
Fraud Murray won’t play next game. He will be sick with cold after this outdoor game
Too badMAF was such a fucken gong show it made the decision to move on so fucke easy…
So fucken easy that the team will easily regret that move soon.
Ya, so they could lose in the finals for a third time? Unless you’ve lost count he collapses when the games matter
It would be nice to play in a gamw that mattered. How has murry done in a game that mattered since fleury left? Go suck murray’s drunk dick you fagg.
Awe now Dusty’s insecurity in his own sexuality comes out… things are starting to make sense
I’ve been screaming for the Pens to trade Murray and now the window is closed. Stuck with the fraud.
Should have kept MAF?
I’m not gonna absolve Murray here but this fan base wanted MAF replaced for years, he was, they won b2b for the first time in 20 years and now? We hate that guy too…
If you like him soo much take him to the Edmonton oilers maybe he can win a cup for mcdavid. If he is healthy lol if wait oilers don’t have MAF to carry team to payoffs for fraud Murray
2 cups as a starter moron! MAF never accomplished this PERIOD!
On that note I’m not a fucken oilers fan you stupid fuckk.
Just because you choke one out to the Habs don’t mean I care for the home team the way you do dipshit
With how bad the oilers are he’d be laughed off the planet in Edmonton…
Thanks for using my words but your 2 years late as usual average fan takes 2 years to realize. And dumb fans like npl takes forever
Wow!!!! Talk about fuckin up a good game!! Trade him now!!!
To who?
Murray injured yet
Well let’s hope chubby played his last game along with fraud Murray. But that won’t happen since he blows scum sully after every game
Shades of Gordie Laxton OMG that was bad.
Rob Holland
oh yeah the Holland tunnel
Blow it up. Murray the fraud. Too late to trade him now.
Well I said it while most were drooling all over him .
now have fun enjoying this fraud
Probably would have been in better shape if brittle af Letang wasn’t watching yet again
This win will turn flyers season around
Never forget… Sam jinxed a team he don’t even like, thankfully English Canada destroyed French Canada tonight
Fraud Murray pulled an Andy moog left without handshake
Andy Moog… more cups than MAF as a starter
Again anyone want to chat about Murray ?????? TBJ anything ?
Fraudddd Murray hey npl fatso now you have 2 GIF of Murray
One on one between the circles against the other teams best player?
Really the shot was a silly shot. But since you see it that way then malkin goal was amazing too and was too hard for Elliot to stop
A little bit of a screen but that was very Fleury-like. Ugh.
Well in 2012 when it was MAF it was 5v5, playoffs and no screen…
Hey npl you fat fuckk make sure you have the GIF of this one
OT as Murray does his best MAF
Matt Fleury?
Frauddddddd Murray. What’s the magic number
Murray knows all the fraud tricks .
The way he knows how to fake injures and take time offs while the other goalies carries the team into playoffs
Major interference
You mean fraud Murray was hugging flyer’s players leg
Frauddddd murray
cant fault Murray 2 and 73 was his d group.
Fraud Murray should get a penalty that was intentional
Sit Cullen ffs fuckofffff
Was a bit of a shit call especially when they called nothing when 71 got slashed.
Do agree on a 4 on 4 would not want Cullen on ice if he’s playing.
Haaa told you guys our Russian was due to a dumb penalty once again 5min left to the game. Good job geno
Crosby and Hornqvist tonight…. convinced it’s just bad coaching, they should never be split again… if it wasn’t for Schultz would we remember they played together tonight….
That’s always drive me nuts that he doesn’t leave Hornqvist on Crosbys line its a match made perfect. You need the balance.
Talking to kingerski he’s kind of fed my feelings on the subject, it don’t work the way it did 3 years ago. Horny works with Geno but not so much with Sid
So Elliott was the second member of the Pedro glove camp.
Lol Classic Fleury
Come on now, Fleury isn’t the only one capable of that level of let down…
Yea well his still haunts me. Wasted a lot of years during Sid and Genos prime.
Your hockey started 2016 so shouldn’t bother you much
He blew that game against Tampa in the ECF in 2016, so it does.
2016 Kessel was robbed of a conn Smythe so… when did you start?
Robbed ? Crosby was playing vs top lines while chubby was on 3rd line collecting 1st line calibre paychecks
Put Crosby on 3rd line and chubby on first line in the playoffs see how effective your chubby be
Who cares what line, go through the Smythe winners and tell me they were all 1st line Cs you dumbfuck
ROBBED, ran the show despite great play by Sid. He was better all around period. So as good as Sid was that led to you wanting to fuck h8m him, Phil was sexier that year, period, no debate!!!!. Still Sid won and it’s wrong
Sam?
How many 5v5 goal for the Russian since October 30th
Who would have thought McCann would have been the best player to come from the FLA deal
So far this game the Florida boys been invisible #19 and #27. When game matters. Well can’t blame them they played for a shitholee non hockey market Florida for so long #27 been a bust with panthers he will be a bust with penguins too. Ponikarowsky 2.0
Bye bye chubby you won’t be missed except from boxscore experts like zero and stan
Wooooooo assist on the third woooooooo! Letangs getting massages on his vagina and Kessel is getting potential game winner assists woooooooooooo
Letang doesn’t need to play full game he already has an assist tonight.
One good thing the NHL should let teams with non matching color wear the dark jerseys against each other. Looks better. Always like that the EPL lets them do that.
Murray injured yet?
Nope, he’s holding the fort while Letang licks his wounds… again
Actually starting to feel sorry for Murray when you have 2 and 73 or a combination of in front of you for 50% of the night that was to shake you.
Letang on his annual vacation?
Gritty might be the creepiest mascot out there yet the most popular this year
That is just a random philly fan they pick coming each game.
Good million dollar investment skating in crap smart move NHL
Looks like MS split 2 and 73
Wtf was rust doing
I really hope chubby playing his last game as a penguin tonight
Me too, they need to move him for a defenceman seeing as Letang is way to unreliable
At least the Pens didnt lose their #1 DMan. Nice shot Schultz.
Fuckk yeah horny was the main reason for the goal
Good job doing him but Schultz shot and follow up we’re the main reason,.,
When this game is over we may not be able to field a healthy team…
No worries. The Pens will trade their 2028 2nd round pick to get some fresh players.
Zuccarello to Dallas for a second and third pick-30 percent salary retained by Rags. Dzingel to Columbus.
We can’t match that. Stan thinks the Pens don’t have a 2nd round pick ever again.
Lol keep moving the goalposts
Your own personal insight, with zero influence from professionals liked Zucc to Pittsburgh no?
I really hope chubby and his hot dog stand are traded at least we won’t see that fat fuckk npl anymore
Don’t panic but Chad is now one of our top 4 D Men. Or JJ for that matter
Good thing Oleksiak was traded for less than they got him for…. JR is getting very old
Florida Suckss
So does npl
Wouldn’t that be something if the penguins do get Simmonds amd he gets suspended for that hit? Lol
He’s a Flyer when he did that so will be nothing till he is traded to Pittsburgh 🙂
Zuccarello to Stars
Serious?
Damn… wow wasn’t expecting that
I’m sure Dusty is more blown away tbh
Well now its going to be super awkward when Simmonds is traded to the Pens in the next day or 2
No we don’t need a toughness in this line up. Interesting it was 1 year ago today you all told me I was crazy saying we needed Reeves. Our ONLY defensemen is now down because we are fair game.
And Reaves would have watched that from the bench
Game 4 finals 2018 Reaves watched in Vegas… because they also know it’s overrated. We’d be better off with the guy causing the problems in the first place
Our Russian is due for a dumb penalty
Love listening to Doc Emrick calling games. Bob Cole is garbage compared to him.
Your a fuckinn clown emrick can’t even lace Cole’s shoes.
Cole been doing it for 50 years. But it’s okay morons like you can be happy once he retires in April. His last game will be habs vs leafs
I sure1000%. You haven’t even watched a game when Cole is commentating. Now get lost fatso
Ill bet you 6000% and not know what that actually means!
Chad looked bad
That is why I call him Hanging Chad he is always hanging out dry…..
What a glove hand somewhere Pedro is smiling.
4 shots 1 goal
That glove
Hey stan.
Crosby traded yet?
nice of NBC to show the Flyer dive
Iceberg and Penguins fans stayed home for this game.
Not really I know of 20 friends and relatives from Pittsburgh who made the trip
They might get beat up
I doubt that for a few reasons I wont go into, but actually sitting here with bond money in case of an issue.
TSN list FLA has Brassard on block …….are you kidding me.
Hofman too
*hoffman… language barriers shouldn’t fuck up names on the back of sweaters
Dzingle to CLB… talk about going all in
Just checked the forecast for Philly this is going to suck 9pm on rain showers.
Sam, which of these posters do you think has the best hockey knowledge and brings the most to this site?
NPL
Zerodrool
Stan aka Carramrod
Are you flirting with Sam(e) again? Ao cute.
i try and talk to everybody on here who is willing to talk normal. You and tbj are actually not bad to talk to. NPL and Zero have a tiring and boring shtick and bring nothing to the message board other than just disagreeing with everything certain posters say….even if they actually make the same statement a few days after they disagreed with.
All 4 of us think youre a piece of shlt who latches on to Sam because hes the only one who cant challenge you intellectually
I wanted to reply but NPL captures it beautifully… I will add the tug at ramrods nuts (or do you think it’s stans) is fucken hilarious. You have been accusing him of being someone he clearly isn’t to anyone with an IQ above 60 can see for months then extend a bullshit olive branch like this? Which hockey writers idea was it to do this? Let me guess… THN Proteau right? Fucken loser lol
PS… we can scroll down the page and see better commentary from anyone you dislike than you’ve dropped the whole time you’ve been here lol
Dustin, How many draft picks should the Penguins trade that they do not actually have?
As many as they can stan.
Well all four are significantly outside your league, so is Sam for that matter. If I was raking posters you’re bottom two with yoda
It’s impressive how you can spend so much time reading other people’s articles and still have time to post on here as much as you do. +1 for your ability to multi task.
You can’t even do that properly, you claim their work as your own. I still bring insight based on what i know, you regurgitate others ideas and pretend they are yours lol. What a fucken loser lol
Well zerotool is as arrogant as is gets. Nothing Canadian about that. But can talk hockey with him .he is probably one of the last real hockey guys left here since npl and his buddy chased all the good hockey guys away from this site. Mcshady , xxx,lancer,kingpuck to name a few
And as for The other 2 they are lost cases specially npl I don’t even know what he does on this site
Ironic as fuck lol, how’s your republican registration going Canadian?
Duchene 1st goal as jacket
Assist panarin and Atkinson.
Looking forward to see them vs pens. 3 times in next 15 days or soo
Thanks for brining that up, again.
Just for the hell of it discussion……if things get worse and we don’t make playoffs does GMJR stay or politely shown door kicked upstairs.
He should have stepped down after his 3 year contract was up. He did the same thing to Carolina.
Agreed
When shero was canned I wanted julien brisbois and they got this clown instead
And then the clown went on to win 2 Stanley Cups.
He is a clown, he did not win 3 in a row, only 2.
Either way, I think they need a fresh perspective from that position
JR has done a lot of good but he was only supposed to be a short term stop gap for one of the younger guys in the organization. The team is bleeding you managerial talent while JR tinkers a lot with the roster
Sprong scratched today… 4th or 5th straight game lol
Yes because perry is back
Lmmfao… so that means the ducks feel they have 12 better options at forward at this moment you simpleton. Obviously it’s a message being sent but it’s also very damaging to the idea that he simply needed to play higher up in the line up.
This kid could still carve a decent career but he has to improve in all the areas the Pens felt he lacked and didn’t give him time because of.
No. It means they feel they have 4-6 better options than sprong. Sprong has no value when dressed in the 4th line and very little on the 3rd.
Holly hell are you stupid. Now I see why you wait for somebody else on the internet to post it first. Anything you try and think of on your own is pure stupidity.
Bahahahahahaha… yes, that’s it, his minus 14 and the fact the ducks have won like 4 with him in the lineup for 20 plus isn’t the indicator hahahahaha. Fuck you are dumb.
Let’s entertain your idea…you were one of a few that figured the only thing holding Sprong back was top six ice… so a bottom feeding team don’t have top six room… figure it out dumb fuck lol
Nick ritchie, Troy terry and Max Jones were listed in their top six the last game…try again you fucken tard!
Last three Carter Rowney and Devin Shore were two of their most used forwards hahahahahahaha… tell me more about Sprong you fucken idiot
This is gold!!!!
Think Sprong trade might be one of GMJR best in a while.
Happy Brassard Day everyone. 2/23/18 the day Gramps changed the Pens from a Cup contender to a playoff pretender. The day the dynasty died…..PS anyone still happy with the Brassass trade? 🙂
Seemed like a good trade at the time, but never worked out. I’m not sure Cole + Reeves would have changed last year’s playoff outcome though.
No way was it a good trade we also gave away Filip Gustavsson and a first rounder I know most of you don’t realize what that is since GMJR came here but those are things for the future. The Pens did not need a 3rd line (at best) center at the time. The price was paid because Br@SID4800$$@SID4800$$ had a few good games against us and GMJR was sold on Murray (Next Pedro Alvarez). Also I did value what Reeves brought to the team and if you didn’t watch the recent game against the Sharks you should have noticed.
Comparing Murray to Pedro Alvarez! Incredible! Easily one of the top 5 most idiotic comments posted in here.
Neither has a glove hand so you wouldn’t have a clue I understand. Either you don’t follow baseball or your lips are so tight on Murray backside you wont notice the glove hand issue.
Oh and btw tbj you still defending that trade huh I remember you has the one who jumped all over me for saying it was a mistake……right Stan?
I’ll wait to see what Gustafsson does first, some bad press around his development… some have him pegged as an NHL backup at this point
So if there is truth to that it’s potentially too early to lament the trade that hard
Yeah been watching that with interest some talk that Sens are rushing him but who knows. We still have empty cupboards all through the organization.
Ian Cole left a big hole on the backend. It was obvious almost immediately.
No. Brassard was useless.
Badly blew up in the teams face and it shouldn’t have gone that way. I’m not certain what his deal was here but he sucked out loud!
Agreed, and then the JJ signing – time for this fella to step aside!
Apparently Tampax wants to clear cap space and trade Callahan. I wonder if torts take him and his 5.8m along with 1st rounds and ship panarin to Tampax since he won’t sign with jackets
Shiit…Lovejoy for a third and player. Pens don’t have crap to trade, even for a third pairing Dman.
Lovejoy to stars for carrick and a 3rd round
Literally just posted that
Thank god. I’m sure the usual suspects were drooling all over Lovejoy.
Thank god!
pens have a chance to win tonight. Hart injured
fraud Elliot might be in net tonight
Well they already beat Hart in the past week n change soooooo stop cheering for Philly you piece of shit
I’m not cheering for the flyers all I’m saying penguins better chance to win. Hart is way better than Elliot. He is the next Carey price .you will hear his name more in the next few years specially when Crosby era is done and philly beats penguins on every occasion. But by then your thumbs down crew won’t be around to cheer the penguins
Really… you know so much about Carter Hart! Where did you learn all this Sam? If only there was an annual showcase of the games best U-20 prospects where Hart could have started in that would have provided such insight….
be interested to see the conditions tonight sounds like a soup fest possible.
Expect our Russian fight tonight and go on a vacation after that for a few weeks
Sprong… 3rd straight healthy scratch
Walls work
DemocRats don’t
True that
He doesn’t even work that fat fuckk other than making signs to protest against republicans
I wonder How his #FatLivesMatter movement going
Not sure about the movement, but his thumbs down game is strong.
#wannabeamerican
No way. NPL works hard!
Jared McCann isn’t listed in the penguins roster. Has this always been the case?
Hope so. He was best player we got in that trade.
Simmonds solves nothing. His offensive production is low. The reason to add a player of his ilk is to battle Wilson, which he won’t. He is a douche not a goon. The man would only antagonize him.
Don’t think Zucc is affordable under the cap. And would cost too much.
Would have liked that guy that the Caps just signed.
Two weeks ago I posted that the Pens should trade for Jensen. Good move by Caps
You are not allowed to post your thoughts on people and potential moves. Zero is going to scout the internet to see what blogger wrote it, call them a “professional” and say you stole it from them. That’s all tools like him do, read ideas from others because he can’t come up with his own.
Naw, see I know when someone is simply tossing something out as an idea, theirs or not, vs some fucken loser tossing out several, two weeks after they hit the net, then claim that it was their own idea which is what you did you fucken clown lol.
Stop drooling over internet bloggers.
Pierre Lebrun is an interest blogger? You dumb fuckk lol, stop pretending actual insider claims are your own you phoney mother fuckker lol
20-25 goals is low production? I guess when you have guys like Simon, ZAR and Pearson dumping goals in at a 30 goal a year pace it makes Simmonds look like a stiff.
And I can guarantee you Simmonds doesn’t sit there with his thumb up his *** like ZAR did when Crosby is fighting Haley and Dillon.
I don’t care about assists.
Dustin you are full of shit about ZAR seriously watch the game some time with out a jaded view. You have been hammering ZAR for a while he is not that bad of a player.
I actually like ZAR, it’s maloni or yoda that hates him. I hate Simon and wish he went away with all the other ahl scrubs Sully beats off too thinking they can play top line wing, because they play hard.
ZAR is a good bottom 6, with the potential to play top 6 for short stints while filling in for injury. That being said, he has to step in and get his face beat in instead of Crosby, he can’t just observe and grab a jersey.
He has 16 goals and you don’t care about the 11 assists. Yes, for what Philthy would want for him to come here it is low production. Why are you coming at me. He is not the answer to the Wilson issue. He is a shit stirrer, in my opinion.
16 goals on pace for 22 if you project out. That would put him over 20 for 7 out of the past 8 years. The 1 year he didn’t, he only played 45 games, but was on pace for 27 goals.
Unless you want a pure thug on the team, which I don’t, you’ll never have an answer to the “wilson issue”.
Let’s see what he’s traded for before we decide if the price tag philly wants is too high. Everybody wants a 1st rounder or a high end prospect for their piece.
1st should only be in play for Zuc.
2nd and Pearson for Simmonds needs to be the trade.
For idiots like Stan, the 2nd round pick can be next years.
The rest of this board is reading a bunch of blogs of hockey “experts” so they can come back here and regurgitate it as their own thoughts…
2nd next year is already gone thanks to the flower trade
Dustin strikes again. Hahaaha.
Hard to resolve that problem. A 2nd round pick from the next year they have it available. Maybe I should go read 10 hockey bloggers to see what their draft picks look like for the next 10 years so I can be accurate with what year to trade to philly. Clowns.
Lol, Dusty adds another name that can see how fucken stupid he is lol
Maybe you should know what the options are before you propose trades that are not possible. Doing research is not that hard.
I’m not a GM. I’m a fan screwing around on a message board. I don’t need accurate details on what year a pick was going to be used. I’ll leave that to dbag’s like zero and gaydogg. They can go and quote rule books also.
They dont have a 2nd round next year either. Hahaha idiot!
Man this is precious. Dustin just bypassed Same as the village idiot.
Not that Im advocating it, but you’d thiunk the Pens could get a nice player for Kessel at the deadline.
I hope the pick is not in play because even as talented as they are, unless they play perfectly-this team isn’t getting out of the east, thus trading the pick during the season is a waste. Nothing will be gained. The dead weight above D mentioned can only be fixed in the off-season. Someone needs to look at the GM, maybe his hands are gone too!
Mcdavid suspended 2 games. Yet Russians always dodge suspensions or get very minimal
Ok Don Cherry Jr.
How’s chubby doing finally realized he’s a fraud .
Oh wait he had 92 points last year Mr boxscore so he is legit. Just like Murray. That’s the problem with you and the rest of the average fan base. Always hypnotized by the BoxScore
WTF does one have to do with other? …. Another failed attempt by Sam(e).
Compairs McDavid’d suspension to Malkins then brings up Kessel and Murray. What brillant logic.
Hey, who led the cup run in 2016 then was ducking robbed of a Conn Smythe? PERIOD?
Chubby traded yet ?
No Crosby is still here
is Ryan Wilson writing these articles now???
Well done.
I wondered the same thing
Agian HOW THE HELL is that play Jack Johnson’s fault?!?!? I am not the biggest JJ fan either but you all need to stop blaming EVERYTHING on the media appointed whipping boy. He moved up to help the top forward when the puck was frozen in the boards. That is what he is supposed to do. What he shouldn’t do is to worry about colliding with the other D-man on the same top side position!!! Jesus…the freak weather isn’t his fault either.
Agree…what was Ruhwedel doing, or Cullen for that matter. I thought Johnson played it right.
Again take the keys off of GMJR his time was expired. A great run but time to move on JR.
Sullivan hasn’t had his best year for sure…but he shouldn’t be fired has has won two cups in what 4 years…Tomlin on the other hand that dude should go hes weak..i do believe Sullivan should be on a bit shorter leash next season though.
Sullivan fired yet? Oh never mind he won two cups, free pass for life in this town.
Same goes for his boy toy Murray.
The Washington Capitals have acquired defenseman Nick Jensen from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for defenseman Madison Bowey and a 2020 second-round pick, TSN’s Darren Dreger reports.
The Capitals will also receive a fifth-round pick,
Great signing but a 2nd is a lot to give or a 3rd pairing guy.
Still better then JJ.
Caps signed him… 4 yrs… $10
