Jeff Carter's the marquee guy, huh? Not Sid, Geno, Letang, Karlsson?

 

[deakka]

I think we have entered "hope they lose territory", right?

Sunday it was Pulju who was scratched.

 

[Wattsburgh]

Need to lose this one since San Jose (who is up next) is prob tanking for 1st overall.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I still see were refusing to bring up Poulin.

I still see were refusing to bring up Poulin.

I know, all the people yesterday who were saying Gruden waiving had to do with us bringing up a different player were dead wrong lol…

Serious question here for everyone: Today, meaning at their current ages, performance and trajectory, would you rather have a top two center combination of Stutlze and Pinto or Sid and Geno?

 

[Coastal Kev]

Sully is going to try an reinvent the sport tonight by playing 2 goalies at the same time; Should be worth the watch.

C- Carter and Harkins.

 

[Andy99]

Yep, DOC is back lol…these lines..Puusty has to be demoted so Smith, I mean Smith folks, must stay with Geno…

 

[Pancakes]

Keep the losses coming boys. New Jersey is trying to out tank us and we can't have that. We showed them once with Mario that we're the better tanking franchise. Time to show it again.

How the f*** is Reilly Smith staple gunned to the 2nd line when he hasn't done f*** all and shit since November? Why the f*** is Carter still here? Why the f*** was Puljujarvi practicing as a right side defenseman?

 

[IcedCapp]

Honestly, I know he’s a great player, but I don’t think Celebrini will be a generational franchise altering player. We should save the tank for McKenna

Cut to Eddie Johnston crying, "we didn't tank - we just didn't have the players... Harkins.."

Steve McKenna is the GOAT.

 

[Pancakes]

I wouldn't worry about saving the tank for McKenna. We'll be real bad two years from now with Celebrini or without.

 

[IcedCapp]

So we’re talking a por que no los dos situation?

I’ll get on the phone to uncle Gary immediately.

We can tank more than one year…I’m guessing three years in a row should be sufficient lol

 

[66-30-33]

I still see were refusing to bring up Poulin.

And refusing to fire the coach. Like I said, they don't like winning.

 

[IcedCapp]

I’d honestly rather not see this core finish bottom5 in the league 3-consecutive years.

 

[chethejet]

Look, the issue is when to tank. Next year Siid, Geno and Letang are here. But after that, I could see Dubas then firing Sullivan. Bringing in the head coach to coach up the roster of the younger talent as they develop into NHL caliber players. Great run and move on. Franchises move off players all the time. Moving Karlsson, Rust and maybe Geno brings back picks/prospect to add to the mix. With this draft and maybe a move or two at the draft like Smith for a second add players to the talent base. Get 5 or 6 good young players with upside here and keep adding is what has to happen. If Sid wants out, trade him for a great deal for picks/prospects. I have zero problem with any of that. Sid to the Avs or Carolina for example will expedite the transition to be a playoff roster down the road.

 

[Victor Z]

Why the f*** was Puljujarvi practicing as a right side defenseman?

Because a pairing of Ludvig and Puljujarvi is better than a pairing of Ludvig & POJ.

I realize that our cupboard is almost 100% empty of prospects on the blue line, but is St. Ivany completely incapable of playing in the NHL? The front office has no idea, but now is a good time to find out unless the primary mission of the organization from here through the end of the season is to help WBS's playoff run while tanking at the NHL level. Then by all means play POJ-Ludvig 18 minutes a game and let St. Ivany get good minutes and develop further in the AHL.

Petts-EK
Graves-Letang
Ludvig-St. Ives

 

[Gurglesons]

Having an old roster is not the problem…

 

[Randy Butternubs]

is St. Ivany completely incapable of playing in the NHL?

Yes.

 

[Victor Z]

Yes.

I haven't been watching many WBS games this year, but might start now that the Pittsburgh games aren't worth watching. St. Ivany has decent size by Penguin standards and appears to be decent defensively insofar as being +13 (best on the team) means anything.

Does he skate like he's in quicksand or something?
