Ginette Reno posted:I like Hainsey so far. He's like old Brian Dumoulin. Oh for sure, I'm not trying to poo poo on him or Streit even (by any account they should be better than Cole.) Hainsey was actually making a lot of impressive plays last game but he had a few awkward moments from being on his off-side.

FrenzyTheKillbot posted:Serious question, if Fleury were to get hurt somehow to the point that he was still injured in June, what does that do to that plan? Presumably that's the worst case scenario at this point, just wondering what would happen. Although I'm guessing this is where people say that Pittsburgh would just make a deal with Vegas somehow. So even considering a nightmare scenario where Murray is the one that has to go, Vegas still wouldn't get him. There are enough teams out there to stoke a bidding war and the Pens would get a decent, if not fair-value return. In no scenario does Vegas get Murray for free.

Ginette Reno posted:Yes, you can still make trades right now, the players just can't play in the playoffs. Or actually, if MAF is LTIR-level broken, why would Crosby not just use some of that world-class charm to get his BFF to waive his NTC so he can be put up anyway? In conclusion, stop all your dreaming Murray is here to stay and we're going back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Pens cup two hundred years dot com.

Make it like Mario Party - bonus goals are awarded to the team with the most shots, the most penalties, etc. Or make every goal worth 7 - people love that one for some reason.

It really is one of the nastier things about this sport. Sure Maatta and Schultz got hurt in the last game against the Jets on some outright dirty maneuvers, but that's not free reign to go head-hunting - especially not against Enstrom who isn't really the sort of guy doing the lovely plays. Want to get revenge? Clown them on the scoreboard (like they did) and get your slashes in if you really feel the need. At the very least, if you have to makes runs at folks, take them at the guys who did the dirty poo poo last game. (Lowry)

Ginette Reno posted:Apparently Mark Streit got hit in the balls last game or something so even the Pens' replacement d are getting hurt now. It's kinda stupid how this team can have like half of its roster out and still keep winning year after year. We can all agree playing MAF vs. the Flames was a passive "gently caress-you" for not trading for him, yeah? Betting they wish the narrative carried out a little differently on that one. He could've been yours, Burkie-boy.

Ginette Reno posted:He stinks, but they should probably hold onto him as long as possible and hope for the best. It's not like he has any trade value. Dumo didn't really break in until he hit 23-24, so there's still some hope I suppose. Not much but... I feel like he tops out as a 7th/PP specialist (on another team)

Levitate posted:his reasoning behind it is really dumb though and they're going to have to deal with players who just say gently caress you I'm going and ditch their NHL teams (maybe...not sure this would happen but the Olympics are a big deal to a lot of players from countries not Canada or the US) I see this as another Richards scenario, potentially. A good loophole to get out of a bad contract via some sort of violation. Hrmm... How patriotic do you think Dan Girardi is?

Spring Break My Heart posted:I think Crosby himself lost a good bit of speed when he got hurt in his 3rd season. I don't think he lost it so much as he realized if he kept skating balls to the wall like that all the time he'd end up injured more often than not (which is true.)

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the Ottawa Senators and their fans for the cowardly play of Sidney Crosby, which we all can acknowledge is the singular contributing factor to the fact that Senators will not be competing for Lord Stanley's cup now or in the foreseeable future. This behavior is novel, egregious, and isolated to the Penguins, and similar behavior from other teams has in no way has been leading to the Penguins' own players being injured at an unprecedented pace throughout the whole season. I would like to close by thanking Garry Bettman and his staff for the wonderful work they've been doing by consistently ruling in these cases to assure that expectations for behavior have been clearly defined.

Melnyk views his players as property, so any right opinion he comes to is by virtue of hosed up logic from a lunatic. There is nothing lucid or of value in the things he says.

Huggybear posted:What are the rules of the expansion draft? I get the NMC/protected players, but is there compensation? Honestly I cannot understand why GMs would vote for expansion if it means losing a player, even if it's just a mediocre one with nothing in return, and give up a high level first round draft position to boot. I could see a team deep with prospects be more than okay with diluting the talent pools of other teams in the league. It's also a good chance for a GM with some anchor contracts to offload them on a new bottom feeder for scraps.

Sure you could take the consistent 40-point forward who can play all positions and situations signed to a reasonable contract... but then again, he is a bit short. Better go with the second-rate Patrik Berglund Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Mar 29, 2017 |
