If it’s going to work with Karlson, they need to move him to PP2, where he can shoot the puck with impunity while the other 4 guys crowd the bet and look for rebounds/tips. Let PP1 go back to Letang at the point, feeding either Malkin one timers or feeding tic tac toe with Crosby. Karlsson isn’t a ...
Am I alone in thinking the price paid for Karlsson makes it a loser trade? Nathan Legare, Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith, Mikael Granlund, Jan Ruuta and the No. 14 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft for Karlsson. I'll betcha the Pens' power play and GA would have been better with Petry and the #14 pick ...
Lottery draft tonight. Odds are we are losing our first rounder this year. Would be great to have a shot at Macklin Celebrini. If you haven't seen his highlights go check them out. He is a wickedly good player. I think is some ways he is better than Bedard. Now go watch Chicago land him. One more th...
I've watched the condensed version of just about every playoff game so far. the net round is going to be pretty interesting, because there was some dead weight in the first round but those teams are getting shown the door. Guentel's return to PIT is inevitable if he doesn't elevate his play with Ca...
Where the fuck have the puckheads gone? The Bruins didn't show up last night. Just didn't want to play which is sad when you consider what those chumps in the seats paid to watch them flop around. No Matthews either. It looks like the Avalanche are not going to need top end goaltending the way they ...
In a million years, I could never see Tomlin going OL the first two picks , let alone OL the first round in both drafts. That's not Tomlin's style nor ever has been. They took OL back to back in 2012. They also spent 4/6 picks in Rounds 1 & 2 OL between 2010-2012 (Pouncey, Gilbert, Decastro, Adams)...
Just wanted to point out this is the player we got with the trade for Kenny Pickett. Would rather have a LB with no ACL than a QB with no heart or balls. Great trade! KP, in his short Steeler stint, mastered falling into the fetal position at the first hint of pressure. Great swing for the fence pi...
Two khan drafts= Two culture changing drafts Broderick Jones= 2 time National champion and LEADER of the Great Wall of Georgia Joey Porter Jr= Proud, vocal, legacy pick. WANTED to shadow opponents best WR Keanu Benton= Another high character kid ready to succeed Suwanee GA’s own Cam Heyward Troy Fa...
Dallas is in a must win situation now. Don't want to go to Vegas down 0-2 after losing home ice. McDavid with 5 assists in one game. Avalanche scored 12 goals in 2 games against the team that gave up the fewest regular season goals. Turned off the Isle/Cane game after it went 3-0. Big mistake. I jus...
Might as well have a place to post/discuss the happenings now that golf season is underway. The first news is the retirement of BFJC. Had a great career. Hell of a player. Hex did this team a bad by extending him but that is water under the bridge. Carter said is going to be a 'dad' for the foreseea...
What really killed them was how poorly they’ve played 3 on 3 OT. 18 games went to OT and only 6 of them did they collect 2 points. IDK, starting 3 on 3 OT without either of your two best players on the ice seems like a good strategy. Lars Eller to start OTs and them moving away from feeding Malkin'...
What really killed them was how poorly they’ve played 3 on 3 OT. 18 games went to OT and only 6 of them did they collect 2 points. This has been discussed here for the past few weeks. Big issue and if it is true that they don't really practice 3 on 3 then that is another mark against the HC. 12 sho...
Fuck you Montreal for last night but I will be cheering you on tonight. Ditto to the Flyers. Groundhog day. Fuckin' Habs blow a 3-goal lead, and two goal in last half of 3rd. I would've been a bit optimistic heading into tonight where Flyers, at home, are still alive for a playoff spot. Just have t...
The Pens had no idea how to setup on the DZ FO a few seconds ago(13 minutes to go) and lost the draw and gave up a good scoring g chance. HTF does that happ3n?
This team needs all the goals it can get and the three blind mice took away 2 of them. The second call was complete bullshit. If that one was called strictly in the NHL then goals would be reversed on a regular basis night in and night out in the NHL. Trottier asked if that had been Ned in net would...
Two things stood out to me in that period. One good, one not so. On PP the Pens are running 65 at the top middle point(normal) with a floating point player to either side. There is no gap between them and no depth so Boston is pressuring the player with the puck. From that you saw the Pens toss the ...
Adding to this, why are cancer rates skyrocketing (statistically) among younger people? Wouldn't be at all surprised if it turns out forever chemicals and things like microplastics enter the reasons. Possibly. But a simpler explanation might be all the processed foods and preservatives in what we e...
I’m not normally a fan of leagues manipulating schedules for ratings, but backloading schedules with mostly divisional games is one my favorite trends in sports right now. It basically makes the playoffs start a few weeks sooner. It’s extending the playoffs without actually extending the playoffs. ...
Better tighten up the defensive game. Last night the Pens got sucked into the kind of game Detroit wants to play. Luckily it didn't come back to bit them in the ass but against a team like Boston(tomorrow) if they are loose in their DZ it will get ugly. Top line was on the ice for 4 of 5 of Detroit'...
