So Rutherford has explicitly said over and over he’s going to be working the phones looking to improve this team – said he was going to be active. Yet – here we are…D’s “sources” coming through with nothing. So much content!
Oh he has some great things covered by “NHL sources” in the new article
Apparently Yoda will be going to PPG to watch golden Knights Vs pens on February 6th.
You’re worse than he is so shut your stupid fat french jizzhole.
Can’t wait to read the potato salad that is sammiches soliloquy
What will you and Maloni do without Yogurt? You two idiots will have to be more stupid to makeup for you butt brother. I have faith that the dumbness will continue to flow.
According to Dave Pagnotta
How would you guys feel about a 5 year 25 million dollar contract for Schultz? I’d be up for it. You’re getting most of his prime and you know what he brings. I’d also want to spend some of the rest of the money on a top 4 dman for when Letang inevitably goes down. Get a 3c, them fill out the rest with what money you have left and Sprong and Austin-Reese
I think Schultz is a necessity because of Letang and his extensive injury history. For what Schultz provided last year, that contract is a bargain covering his prime years.
Agreed. Solid defender and filled in admirably on our pp. I’d still make another defenseman I priority. I honestly don’t want maatta anywhere near the top 4.
If we can keep him for that amount I’d be happy. While he isn’t the best defensive player in hockey he still managed 50 points this year which is huge. I think he’s capable of replicating this and that level of production you can’t scoff at. Unlike Whitney he will still work hard in his own end including engaging physically. So ya… this is probably a heart beat signing. For all the reasons mentioned plus there is a very shallow pool of UFAs to try and improve the team with. Schultz is better than most if not all the UFAs… Read more »
I think Shattenkirk is overrated anyway. He will probably get 7 million, but that’s fine as long as it’s not by us.
Yes because his American automatically you get overpaid.
The Canadian dollar is weaker
Jonathan. Toews.
I agree he isn’t quite what I thought he would be in Washington but there could be some merit to the idea of misuse as well. He is still the top defensive UFA on the market this season for better or worse.
Pens re-sign Ruhwedel 2yrs/$0.650/per
The soliloquy of Yoda, Spring 2016: Here I am. Once again. Expecting a belly full of Flower seeds in T-minus 4 minutes. Relegated to my inner thoughts as the mouthful I take from the man with the “perfect smile” renders me inaudible. NHL Network is on in the background. Recapping the Penguins recent victory highlighted by a key save off the legs I now occupy. My eyes did not deceive but, after continuous prodding by the Flower’s stem, my mind relents. Despite the team and its beautiful goalie being on a roll, I do not believe this team can win.… Read more »
Nice
I’m sure this is a hell of a lot more accurate than whatever nonsense the little green idiot posted below.
Holy fuck this is so good! You sir have won the internet for at least the next few months. I glanced at a single piece of yodas crap but this had me laughing out loud all the way thru… tip of the hat to you good sir
So – Montreal is good now – they got David Schlemko from VGK. God does Bergevin make french canadians look worse than they are – and that’s saying something.
THE SOLILOQUY OF YODA; the first shot, in the first game, and the first goal against, falling out of the runway against detroit to open the 08 finals, the miracle of 2009, the four consecutive seasons of sub .900 post season playoff performances that were never his fault, zero accountability, playoff meltdowns, cartwheels and shadow boxing before games, matt murray coming in a winning back to back cups as a rookie… while all that time you all still called for your saint. to love a pro athlete not for his ability to win or to play well, but because he… Read more »
May this be your last statement Amen.
I like how he assumes someone is reading that.
Fucken killyourself, you have a twisted view of reality but at least we don’t need to see this level fo stupid anymore… as long as you can be honest for once in your entire life. Bye felicia
“While all you called for the saint” – LOL, this guy couldnt even be real in his self-serving “soliloquy”! Douchebag
Did anyone actually read this? The guy is a joke who has proven time and time again to be a hypocrite and a compulsive lair. Sure there was entertainment in laugh at what a despicible human being he was but does anyone honestly believe anything he said in the post? He already went back on his claim to never post again was Fleury was gone.
Of course nobody read this. How one liners were a waste of time. I’m sure not losing a full minute and a half to read this nonsense.
I don’t see Yoda posts anymore. When he once again welched on a bet, I ignore him now. He’s the only one. Sam is close to being next.
Eberle to the isles
People can laugh all they want when I say this but I’m predicting Deryk Engelland as the Golden Knights 1st Captain. He’s a bit of a local hockey celebrity from his days with the Wranglers in the ECHL and they made the point to really emhpasize that he was a long time Las Vegas resident when they introduced him at the ceremony.
Possible to happen but that is a joke. Methot I see him as a captain or even fleury.
Most likely someone with true leadership skills, so probably an American.
Unfortunately they don’t have any qualified American to captain Vegas
Fleury cannot be the actual captain genius… it hasn’t been allowed for ages
That’s not why we’re laughing at you. Methot would be my prediction.
Any word on what number Raantta took with Vegas? Or which team out west Fleury is expected to be traded to?
Fleury was “traded” to Vegas. Hope that team can get a solid 4th line center like Shane Doan to play in front of him.
Unless youre counting LTIR, there are no more French Canadians on the Pens
Now that’s parade worthy!
What time is Yoda’s final statement?
The tears are flowing on Dejan’s site. Really pathetic that a full grown man would blubber so much over someone – especially a professional athlete – that they have no personal relationship with whatsoever. Sam’s right. Americans are fat and stupid.
You pay that full grown man.
Don’t say fat and stupid might offend some sensitive gayy nerds. Just say Americans are Npl
Says the chubby guy that doesn’t bathe, still living off of his mom. Curious.
Who will be Vegas 1st captain if I am not mistaking I think fleury is the only player with a Stanley Cup ring from their roster
Youre usually mistaking
mistaking?
Trevor vanRymsedyk has one
Vegas is weak down the middle, but Shane Doan is available…
Shoulda drafted Bobby Ryan.
Yeah a bum that is juggled between 3rd line to 4th line to healthy scratched on nightly basis
He played two more rounds than Toews
Yet still has 2 less Stanley cups than Toews
He has 3 less stanley cups you fuckingg moron
Ryan was in Portland for the 07 cup genius
Your mom said the same about your dad. And left him for gangbang events
This is so bad. So so bad.

This fleury trade is probably the only trade I’ve seen that people around him are very very sad that his gone. Even Crosby tonight seemed sad when he saw fleury. .the only clown that is happy is Yoda
Gonna be weird not having him on the team. I wish him well his 2 years in Vegas. Hope to see him backing up Jarry in 3 years. Good luck MAF!
The team has got good defense that can play tough games. But upfront they will be the type team that plays the underdog type of hockey game with fleury stealing games. They have the right coach for that Gallant is a excellent coach that can work with anything far from being a fraud like DB
Gallant’s career record of 152-172 as an NHL head coach screams excellence…
With what type of teams?
Stick to your hot dog events fatso.
Hockey teams?
Troll. Yoda’s replacement.
Not true. D and Sullivan are also happy to see him go.
That scum sully
2 time cup winning coach Sully
Has more cups that Therrien and Hartley combined!
There was no Fleury trade.
This is a wonderful day. This is as if the pens won their 6th cup tonight! I am preparing my final statement. Not only is your patron saint gone, your prophet is on his way out as well.
Please be gone and don’t just change your username
No way he leaves. He has so little in this world. Acting like a moron on a message board is at the top of that list.
Fuckoff loser, no one gives a fuckk about a final statement
Nobody cares. Take Sam and SamDiegoPittFan with you. The 3 fcuking degenerate losers of this site.
who are you again. #forgettable
Not one of the 3 losers I listed above.
Lol final statement. Drop dead assshole
I agree
Don’t wave leave now Yoda,
Our prophet called for a rebuild a week before back to back titles. Our prophet struggles daily remembering to wipe his own ravaged asss after taking a dump.
Does anyone else find it a little suspicious that all the NHLers in attendance came with smoking hot babes and Sid took Carl hagelin????
Annnnnnd he lied
No, fuckoff
Raantta starting in Vegas yet?
That is legitimately the funniest thing you’ve ever said. Well done for once.
Any thoughts on what it will take to get Dumo and schultz signed? I would be happy around $9M per season for the both of them.
This Vegas team has a lot of picks they will be good in few years but this year they will be bad since they don’t have a real number 1 center
Guess theyll be better than the Habs then. That team doesnt have any centers.
Not a lot of American frauds as well I guess they didn’t want fraud Ryan even tho sens didn’t protect him
I agree, not a lot of American frauds to choose from
I figured Vegas would get a 1st rounder from us. Hate to see Flower go but it had to happen. Go get Duchene grandpa!
Fuckk Duchene
Fuckyoda, I’m just hoping he was honest for once in his life and leaves.
Best of luck MAF, class act.
2nd rounder. Nailed it. Who’s your prophet !
Fleury the FACE….yoda won’t really die he will just come back under a different name and be just as clueless
So who is their first line center?
Yoda thinks itll be James Neal
Eakin bro
Vegas won’t take Fleury….Yoda. See you loser go fcuk yourself loser.
So angry
You’ll miss your little buddy you pillow biter.
HAHA, nice
