Latest Pens Buzz
Penguins’ ownership plans to give Penguins GM Jim Rutherford the green light to significantly overhaul the Penguins roster this summer, two sources close to the situation confirm a Post-Gazette report that almost everything will be put on the table.
What does all of this mean among the core?
Rutherford has been given ownership’s blessing to aggressively shop Kris Letang in trade talks, which he will, and what’s been described as deeply informative and intense discussions among the Penguins brass centers around center Evgeni Malkin on whether he’s the solution moving forward or part of the problem.
Malkin has been described by multiple sources as being [hide] uncoachable this season from the start, which Penguins GM Jim Rutherford is said to view his behavior as being unacceptable that has the brass and ownership at least putting Malkin on the table as a discussion.
Sources say Malkin was constant problem in meetings as the coaching staff struggled all season to get a buy-in from #71. Internal discussions right now are trying to figure out why this was the case.
The leaks of Malkin potentially being moved could be a situation of Rutherford looking to make Malkin uncomfortable, something he’s done in the past with the leaks of Matt Murray earlier this year, but things are heading in the direction where Malkin will not be anointed as an untouchable this off-season. That decision has pretty much been made internally. [/hide]
So quiet here now.
Mario does not want another Jagr on his hands! So Malkin? If ownership had a say… stays
Fun fact, since 1986 21 cups have been won by the top 5 seeds
Top seed 8 times
2nd seed 4x
3rd seed 2x
4th seed 5x
5th seed twice
Seeds 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 have not won
2010 – Chicago player Philly… neither team had a great goalies. Some figured it was the beginning of a trend where solid goalies were not required… this was a stupid idea. Much in the same way that any single year anomaly suddenly makes everything else irrelevant.
Seeds remaining
3. Boston
5. NYI
6. SJ
11. Carolina
12. StL
13. CLB
15. Dal
17. Colorado
Could see some recent history made here, still, who’d bet on it being the norm? Despite league parity….
Yeah both conference champs are out. 4 of the division winners out yet all 4 wild card teams won. Something tells jew bettman is happy new bandwagon money to be made of
Bandwagon money.. Like Vegas?
What’s it like to be a massive bigot spending every waking moment looking for an opportunity to show everyone how much of a prejudice dickhead you are?
Vegas GM said NHL apologized for officiating game 7.
Fleury should apologize for goaltending game 7
You should apologize to the league for being the dumbest fan out there
it was a bad call, but come on….4 short handed goals given up in 4 minutes??? the only people the golden showers can blame are themselves. btw, they need to dump the saint.
Bad call or not if you give up 4 goals on a 5 min pen you deserve to lose.
Power play goals.
Should have pulled him for Subban.
Sullivan is an idiot. Malkin should not be buying into his system and should be a huge pain in his ***. The player is more important than the coach. Let skilled players be skilled players.
First move should be firing Sullivan, the AHL caliber coach.
Ever think Malkin is tired of having his linemates and best friends on the team stripped from him becaus shitty coaches don’t like them? It gets old when coaches feel they are more important than they really are. NHL coaches are a joke.
Holy crap. All four #1 out. Where did I hear Regular season doesn’t matter.
I guess Washington bandwagon’s should label holtby like fleury since he went to finals last year and out this year first round
But Fleury was outplayed and lost.
Now that a lot of favourite teams are out I say jackets have chance to go finals and possibly win it all
This capitals have horrible status when it comes to game 7 since ovi joined in the league
Mr. Game 7…. unreal!
McKegg with the GWG. You heard it here first.
Ovi leading his team in a way Crosby couldn’t.
Lol
Lol on par with the rest of his stuff.
Really?
Yeah choking in another game 7 at home. That’s how Ovi leads.
NPL, what do you think the Steelers do tomorrow ?
Draft
Who do you like at #20
No one at 20. Trade up to get Devin Bush or trade out of the first and acquire more picks.
Eat hot dogs
How much longer do you guys think itll take for Vegas fans to turn on Fleury, demand he be replaced, then forget all the playoff meltdowns, romanticize the past, and fall in love with him all over again as soon as he’s gone?
Ask tbj
Now you’re just being a stupid.
Now? I believe a pattern has already been established lol
Who are you again ?
That line gets better every time you use it… do it again
Are you denying you were the biggest fleury fanboy on this site for five years running.
Your punctuation game is right the with -5am.
What kind of value do you guys think Letang has left? Theres talent there but you cant fix stupid (e.g. Sam).
What kind of value do you guys think malkin and chubby has left there’s talent there but you can’t fix LAZY (e.g. npl)
At least a stupid can become smart someday. But a lazy. Stays lazy 4 life. Like npl
For your sake I hope they can fix a stupid
Or fix your laziness maybe America can finally be great again
I love when you talk dirty to me
We have watched your stupid ass continue to be a stupid fuck for a long time… there goes that hypothesis
You copy and pasted my post then called me lazy. Classic Sam. Hahahaha
Just wanted to expose your nonsense you bring here that is so easy to play your dumb game
Id like to see you exposed
I wish I can say you are stupid but you are a lost case section8 Beta male wannabe
Is there any alt-right, incel, idiocy trope you haven’t fully adopted?
Thinking Malkin knew not to waste his energy because Letang was going to find a way to F up the entire game. Smart.
Hope malkin is traded to Florida so you and Stan can leave this place for good
You can also take that American tourist zerotool with you
Something is off here. There is more going on then what is being leaked. He also has a NTC, I am sure he is not worried about being traded.
You had me at Letang traded. Nothing else will impact this team more positively next year.
Get lost fatso and come back next April
Thought about it. But by then itll be too late to watch the Canadiens play.
It’s not like you watch penguins hockey during season too
Theyre my favorite team so I catch a few games a week.
The only thing you catch few times a week is your mom doing gangbangs you fat slob
Im gonna catch you naked in the shower, how about that?
Get lost you fat queerr
Ooo yea dominate me daddy
Welcome to Sam’s world now convince the average bandwagon fans about this lazy Russian oh wait I forgot boxscore shows he has a lot of goals and points so he must be amazing and definitely be top 100 player.
Someone’s pitching a 2-inch tent
BAHAHAHAHA, no one in their right mind would get high enough to be in sams world… what a dumb shitt
on the other hand….when you have a coach who puts simon and aston reese in the top 6, it’s not surprising that you’ll get the superstars to quit on the coach.
hahaha! you say “leaks”. nothing on this earth was more obvious than malkin being a fat cat lazy russian uncoachable paycheck stealing thief. let’s hope the bum goes back to the KHL asap and relieves the pens of that absurd cap hit.
You think Sam was right when he exposed this fraud few years ago. I guess Sam is ahead of time once again.
A few… Lets see… 2019 – 3 = 2016
What happened a few years ago… hmmmmmm… then again the next year….
You have been saying the exact same shit for a decade… lets pretend for one minute “sam was right”… it has nothing to do with anything but age as a best case scenario for you lol. That would of course be assuming he is going to continue down that path. You were not right you fucken tard, he has been nothing short of one of the most valuable players in the game!
Nope, Sam was wrong. Per usual.
Sammich pandering!
Drool baby drool.
Russian should’ve been traded in package deal to oilers when mcdavid wasn’t drafted yet. Now values are opposite ways so good luck with that.
Except that was never an option you fucken retard lol. As I already informed you not a single non-playoff team or on the cusp team traded their 1st pick that year until after the lottery… can you figure out why?
Part of me hopes Geno is moved… to Florida and he takes Montreal apart every time he plays them lol
Geno Can do good in Florida because he suckss
So does Florida so it’s a good fit. He can create new rivalry with his Russian buddy kucherov
And destroy the shitty Habs.. dont forget that part, it was the point of the sentence
Sam: “Malkin sucks”
Also Sam: “Pens could swap aging Malkin for teenaged McDavid no problem”
Something is off here. There is more going on then what is being leaked. He also has a NMC, I am sure he is not worried about being traded.
Nothing is off here only thing is off is cockkriders like you support his laziness.
Silly. The guy has bought in for ten years and all the sudden he’s un-coachable. BS
Diego you are a dumb bandwagon and even if I explain you wouldn’t understand because you and some others hockey IQ is limited. Over the past 10 years let’s say Crosby has aged so did your hero malkin. Crosby adjusted to the new league if you watch Crosby before and today it’s 2 different player. Your Russian since 09 he is playing. Exact same game as if he skates exactly step by step same skate paths with not different always waits at blue line when he wants to pretend to play 200ft game he goes Dzone and skates from behind… Read more »
Zero’s jealous of the length of your post, and by post I mean take.
So you are the dumb bandwagon sammich claims you to be, noted
