Series Talk: First Round: Pens (1) vs. Isles (4) - Series Tied 1-1

[Ryder71]

you’re the one that wanted him on the 4th line

When you become the voice of reason we know the Pens are gonna win tonight. Something amazing MUST be happening!

 

[KIRK]

you’re the one that wanted him on the 4th line

I take that as even you knowing what's coming.

I'll take not being a MINUS as a win.

 

[KIRK]

malkin 14:07 carter 15:48
Malkin 17:05 Carter 14:39
Carter 17:16 Malkin 15:01

two blowout wins and one blowout loss though so icetime was funky.

Which game was on the Island?

 

[dig1]

One thing I have noticed about #42, as fast as he is, he's a brick when it comes to board play. It's so disheaertening when you compare the board play from #17 #59 and #16 that they can't hold his jock straps for board play

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Ever watch Malkin in the playoffs with a lower body issue. It ain't pretty to start with and then factor in the line combo and Trotz having last change . . . yeah, you play him. But you don't need to hang him out to dry in the process.

Ill take my chances, one of the best in the game. Its the playoffs everyone has an injury this time of the year. Some you dont even hear about.

I know it can be argued about usage and what not and trusting the staff to do whats right but were here and many didnt even think we would be.

Ill take a 75% Malkin over 75% of players in the NHL

 

[KIRK]

You gotta remember a bunch of people here think fit and chemistry are basically irrelevant and if you are a good player on paper none of it matters.

Shit Zucker ain't even good on paper, these days.

Fit and chemistry is irrelevant whem discussing Malkin.

Anyone else . . . relevant.

Yeah he has a little Jagr in him in that regard.

Painfully accurate.

I really, really hope you're right.

I really, really hope you're right.

Me too

malkin 14:07 carter 15:48
Malkin 17:05 Carter 14:39
Carter 17:16 Malkin 15:01

two blowout wins and one blowout loss though so icetime was funky.

the last game was a 1 - 0 win

malkin played 13:58
Carter played 14:34

or did you just ignore the only tight game

 

[KIRK]

Me too

That's the thing here. Some people see others note Malkin with a LBI in the playoffs has traditionally been a problem and how the only time in the last 2 years Malkin hasn't been very good to god mode is when he's with Zucker and express a lot of concern and wonder what the hell Sullivan is thinking.

Doesn't mean there's some agenda or we want the Pens to lose or wouldn't be absolutely thrilled to be wrong.

It only means that we're willing to say objectively it's a duck when it walks and talks like one.

Nah man I just super hate Malkin and the Penguins and have been playing an absolutely bonkers long con on everyone.

Busted.

No need to have outed yourself. We already knew you were a @Jaded-Fan burner account.

OK, but how much of that 75% gets drained away by having zero chemistry with Zucker?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

No need to have outed yourself. We already knew you were a @Jaded-Fan burner account.

Yeah he's a lawyer, though.

My self-loathing only goes so far.

(Just foolin' Jaded)

 

[Darren McCord]

If Malkin can play he should. But he should get support to ease him in.

mccann -malkin - kap gives you more options.

you could even run
Geno - McCann - kap to give Geno less responsibility

Yes but McCann and Carter are a duo now. Like Batman and Robin.

We can't not have duos.

 

[Gurglesons]

the last game was a 1 - 0 win

malkin played 13:58
Carter played 14:34

or did you just ignore the only tight game

I ignored the game where Malkin was hurt.

 

[Gurglesons]

Which game was on the Island?

You know me. Let’s see what Sullivan f***s up before we bury him. You know where I stand with Zucker and Malkin.

 

[Darren McCord]

I ignored the game where Malkin was hurt.

but If anything he would have played more than carter then right?

 

[Gurglesons]

but If anything he would have played more than carter then right?

I don't believe so. But hey, we all got our agendas on here.

 

[Darren McCord]

I don't believe so. But hey, we all got our agendas on here.

So your saying because Malkin got hurt and played less, that Carter played less too?

 

[Factorial]

Is Geno back tonight? I read some of this thread yesterday and all the doctors here assured us that he wouldn't be playing in games 3 or 4.

 

[HandshakeLine]

My agenda is a fill in the blank quiz:

Born on a mountain
Lives in a cave
Truckin an’ _______
Are all that I crave.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Is Geno back tonight? I read some of this thread yesterday and all the doctors here assured us that he wouldn't be playing in games 3 or 4.

Nah, Geno’s dead. Must be a crisis actor.
