Are you surprised? He probably thinks them winning a cup without him last year was a fluke. That's the type of person he is.

So has Letang said anything yet? He really needs to say sorry for whatever it was that was he did last night.
Dumo Maatta probably. Or Schultz Maatta.
Address the point. You either think early/late goals have extra impact, or you don't.

Or you know. He is arguably the best defenseman in Penguins history.
Not the best defenseman to play for the Penguins.
Said he thought Ovie was trying to stretch the play and it was a miscommunication w Dumo.
It seemed like he thought he had to shadow Ovie. I dunno.

Obviously they do. But I don't think you can avoid playing our high risk guys because I think it's pretty much all of them except Dumo. And I certainly disagree with Maatta being steady

He thought Malkin had Kuzy.
It was a terrible play, and you can tell by Dumo’s reaction on the bench after he was pisssssed.

What a loser. You f***ed up Letang, MAN THE f*** UP!!! Even I man up at work everytime I f*** up wtf?
Maatta is slow but he's plenty smart and steady. Zero comparison between him and Letang. Letang's issues are between the ears.
In fact none of our D make mental mistakes with anything like the frequency of Letang.

Going into the post season I was at peace with not winning a third cup. I just had two teams I didn't want to lose to: Philly and Washington. Don't let me down, Pens. Caps fanbase in insufferable.

go watch Maatta's turnover in game 3 to lose the game. That was beyond dumb. The idea of him being listed as steady is laughable. He's incredibly inconsistent.
Agree to disagree. That was certainly a poor decision. But you don't make NHL and Olympic top 4 D as a teenager if you're "incredibly inconsistent". He's very intelligent and makes good decisions vast majority of the time, unlike Letang. Can't believe you picked Maatta to stake your consistency argument.

I would be happy to keep Maatta over Letang any day of the week. Cheaper, younger, smarter, and will learn moving forward. Letang can't count to 5, he's expensive, and he's much older.
No comparison. Problem is, every other NHL team would probably prefer Maatta to Letang, as well.

Maatta is by far the Penguins most consistent Dman away from the puck, which is 90% of the time a player is on the ice.

This is actually a good point. Maatta's mistakes seem to happen when he's trying to do something fancy with the puck on his stick, but other than being walked on occasion because of his poor skating, I can't recall consistently screaming, "what is Maatta doing?" or "where the hell is Maatta?" when it comes to defensive assignments.

Uh. No.
Dumo is and has been the past three years.
Maatta plays a simple game, but gets beat on plays a tonnnn. And he definitely does his fair share of throwing pucks blindly up the boards or to no one.

That Guentzel hit thread on the main board is a new low, amazingly. The tinfoil is strong with that group, so are the imaginations of the video clip investigators.
You start getting angry as you read the idiomoronicus ramblings, then you just have to laugh at how absurd it all is.

The funny part is how suddenly Caps fans are against anything even remotely close to a head shot. Suddenly, these aggregious hits need to be removed from our game and punished severely! Yet, they actively defend everything Tom Wilson does.

It’s just straight up non-stop trolling and I’m surprised the mods haven’t closed it.

I'm not surprised at all. For whatever reason, the main boards seem to allow trolling as long as you don't actually use the word "troll" or call someone a troll.
There are a bunch of posters who literally do nothing but go into Crosby/Penguins threads and post spam after spam posts of trolling/baiting/flaming comments, but aren't censored. However, if you actually call them a troll for their trolling, you get infracted.

I think they are just being sarcastic with those types of posts because we used those against Wilson.

Even if there’s no chance at a 3peat, I really want the double digit series wins in a row.
The only teams that have done it are some old Habs team, and the early 80’s Isles. It’s literally never been done in my lifetime so it would be an amazing accomplishment
