I'm starting to think that I killed the Pittsburgh GM's dog during my first season with the Pens, and now I'm being sentenced to spend the rest of my career in Pittsburgh as punishment.

Like look at the Pens. It's a lovely team. And I have to play in front of it like 70 times a season because some other teams who are good but need a goalie to push them over the top *coughNewJerseycoughBuffalocough* aren't doing poo poo. :negative:

I'm just old and tired and want a Cup. Free me, Pittsburgh, free me. :sigh:

One Cup for me, can't really complain either. Would have liked one ASG or something though.

Did a quick search on hockey-reference for similar players (plus or minus 50 games played and 50 points) to Rowdy Roddy. Top three I got were Jamie Macoun, Adrian Aucoin, and Derek Morris. Makes me feel a lot better. :unsmith:

Comments
Lemur should sweep all skater awards
Pepperdick was a brick wall the 2nd half of the season. He may come away with the Vezina. He'll definitely get the Jennings.
It's a toss up between Athanatos and O'Leary. O'Leary's +/- might be what holds him back from the Norris.
Vancouver sells off it's franchise players for little return
Because of the trade, Helar has played an extra game this season
M. Savard on TOR (#4 in +/-) is Marc Savard. Perhaps Zombie Marc Savard?
Many goons matched or beat their career high in points and/or goals.

Stop blowing it in the playoffs though Picks. Think needs a second cup to cement his legacy.

Chicago trades for Fancy Stats
Buffalo ships the Crushinator back to Minnesota
Nashville traded away their franchise goalie back to Los Angeles, and the goalie they picked up last season to backup Zip is now in the AHL.
Chavez is back down to the AHL
I guess a trade was made for Zip. Nothing appeared in the transaction report, but NSH has Los Angeles' draft pick, maybe a prospect or two. Weird.
