Pens should not trade for a rental. Hockey trades only please.
the only thing the pens have going for them is the teams beneath them in the standings stink as bad as the pens. the pens might play 500 hockey the rest of the way and they could maybe still sneak in.
2 days ago, you said “Zero cool says I don’t know what’s happening on the ice. That’s funny. I’m the only guy who said the pens are going to miss the playoffs and it looks like I’m going to be right. I saw this roster for what it was. An 8th to 10th place team. The rest of you are homers who love of the pens blinds you from reality. I love the pens too, but an 8th -10th place team is what it is.”
Today, you say they will make the playoffs. Make up your mind retard. Make a prediction and stand behind it.
i’m predicting between 8th and 10th. that is a 33.333% chance of making the playoffs. how’s that?
A percentage isn’t a prediction.
Best part is that same day I called him on his flip flopping lol
In order of preference. Hamhuis -> Russell -> Liles.
Letang – Maatta
Daley – Hamhuis
Pouliot – Dumoulin
Cole as a sub
Lovejoy is dead to me
In order of preference. Purcell -> Hudler -> McGinn -> Parenteau for the wings.
Kunitz – Crosby – Kessel
Hagelin – Malkin – Hornqvist
Wilson – Bonino – Purcell
Fehr – Cullen – Kuhnhackl
Rust/Sheary subs
Bennett, Plotnikov are dead to me
Hamhius is that big of a pussy that he won’t accept a team to an east coast team for 3.5 months away from his family? After that, he can go back and sign with Vancouver.
Why would a man who has the choice choose to be away from his family for 3.5 months when he doesn’t have to?
Because he is a man who enjoys competition and playoff hockey?
I believe Hagelin has scored one goal with the Pens. Just saying.
Look at you pretending to notice other players that aren’t the goalie!
Almost like you thinking the highest paid player should score every game, well because he’s the highest paid player.
Highest paid Canadian players should score every game but when it comes to American con artist like Kessel he doesn’t mind if they show up or not
I do think he should probably be criticized when he takes 35 games off. But I’m weird like that.
And it was against his former team
You guys remember when Sam has weise going to the Panthers? Guaranteed!
Maybe Panthers is French for Blackhawks?
Go Hawks go.
Golf pens golf.
P.S npl suckss
Haha and you call Americans “bandwagons”. You’d think the Canadian teams would be good at golf being that they start months earlier than everyone else.
@tbj. Q) What do college students an the penguins have in common?
A) They both finish their yes by April
What does the planet earth and npl have in common? It takes them both 1 year to do a 360 degree turn
What does samthewoman and the Great Wall of China have in common? You can see them both from space.
Finish their yes!
It’s late Friday night, and what is Sam doing? Thinking of me. Aw
Weise and Fleischman to Blackhawks
Their cap guy is the man. Botterill should take notes.
To Edm:
Cole (2.1) 2YRS
Plotnikov (.925) RFA
Wilson (.655) RFA
3rd

Pouliot Warsofky
I like it. D is still weak but looks better. I might change out Sheary for Kuhnackl depending on who we were playing. Bennett is just never factored into my future projections lol.
Don’t want schultz, but everyone has him going to Pens it seems
Pens should bring back Cullen next season. Despite his age the guy is good to have around at low cost
Agree
Schultz is fucking horrible. Defensively he is zero upgrade on Cole and his offence only shows up once every handful of games. Kids a fucken bust… I would not want to get rid of Wilson as he is starting to earn his full time spot to land a total piece of shit like Schultz
I would almost wager that Wilson will produce in the same manner Korpikoski does by next season
At least
That’d be sweet.
“Ehrhoff to Florida” -Sam
Yakupov to the habs heating up
Soooo, Los Angeles then?
And Politnikov may suck just as bad as Porter, but there is still at least a chance that he adjusts. Porter will never be more than what he is now.
sweet, porter keeps a hat! WTF, a non productive player under 25 I am ok with that. a career grinder that is non productive not so much…. Is there a craig adams rule or something for this franchise now?
Jeb Bush would build a wall across the Canadian border, and make Canadians pay
They’d probably do it out of the kindness of their heart – would just give them a chance to take in the beautiful wilderness up there.
Trade bonino and get a decent Defense That American fraud is a Bust to this team
That’s right – trade a decent highly cost-controlled player. That’s what makes sense. That and Ladd being traded to Florida. Mostly those two things.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trump-dismisses-notion-of-border-wall-with-canada-1.2793707
Bad move by trump Wish he build a wall to canada to so fat slobs from the states dont come to Canada
You don’t need a wall with Canada – it’s barely a country as it is, and its citizens are inherently trained to be pusssies from birth
Building a wall TO Canada would be weird. Feel like that’s what roads are for…

We know dude – you were outed months ago.
Jared Cowen on waivers. Sam – how does it feel that Toronto basically GAVE away an asset that you thought the Penguins should sign? How BAD is the contract? How BAD is that player?
Ladd to Chicago!
LMMFAO… Hey Sam… trade him. I am happy we retained him but with no bridge deal on a player that is struggling is a concern. I have to say thank you to the fucking Oilers and their Kelfbom deal for setting the table on this as I am sure it was the bench mark used in negotiations. Thanks Oilers you fucking cunts
To be clear I still have high hopes for this kid. We have seen flashes of brilliance from him this year especially when Letang was out but we have seen a lot of inconsistency. A bridge of 2 seasons for a couple million per would have been a far more attractive way to work with him IMO but… he probably still becomes the gem he was supposed to. Wait and see
Maybe – but if he has two good years, you’re paying him $7.5 million the the next four years instead of $4.083M.
Absolutely, its a risk assessment move.
Anybody else find it funny that 2 days after this site called Matta a “big problem” for the Pens he gets signed to a 4 year extension?
I hope these “experts” see that it’s a process since the kid went through 2 shoulder surgeries and cancer treatments – I would expect to see an improved OM next season – provided he stays healthy
This year, he kinda has been a problem. He’s playing like a #4 – but he also missed last year, and is coming off of surgery. Have to think that it will be better next year.
Was this in-depth article too big to put in Instant Buzz?
“HACK” – RIP KMO87
Good signing! Fcuk off Sam you obese loser.
this organization must be on high Meds
Reminds me of DB when the team chocked instead of getting fired he got contract extension
now Maatta after his worst game of the season gets contract extension
i guess its not bad when pens lose vs Bruins
we get to have Contract extension.
Jeb Bush
Ladd to Florida
Rust and 3rd traded
McDavid to Vancouver
Franson going back to Toronto
I feel really good about the organization and Olli Maatta now.
get a normal life you fat fuckk
That’s so embarrassing for you. Can you be more wrong? Or are you the most wrong person ever? i”m leaning toward the latter.
Sam hopes you fall off that leaning latter…
sam hope trump becomes the next president so he can send you to africa to lose weight you fat slob
There’s not a single part of that that makes a lick of sense.
That canadian GM is like a 125 yrs old – what do you expect?
Grim Rutherford tweeted Maatta only making $1mil more than Engelland hahaha
Killer indepth reporting.
4 sheets a year for the slowest dman in the league.
Ten hours ago, same was convinced Maatta was going to be traded to Florida.
Same has the intellect of a French poodle!
i like it. looking forward to him (hopefully) having a healthy offseason to train.
Good deal!
