GDT: Game 63 | Pittsburgh Penguins @ Florida Panthers | 7PM | Last Game Before the TDL

[Speaking Moistly]

I didn't forget! I kind of did.

Anyway, bask in JR's work for the season and the background.

• Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin and 2012 1st round pick (Pouliot) to the Pens from JR as the Carolina Hurricanes GM for Jordan Staal
• Brandon Sutter and 2016 3rd round pick traded for Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 2nd round pick (Gustavsson)
• Ian Cole added for Robert Bortuzzo and a 2016 7th round pick
• Marc-Andre Fleury to Vegas in the expansion draft for a 2020 2nd round pick
• Ryan Reaves and 2017 2nd round pick added for 2017 1st round pick and Oskar Sundqvist
• Derrick Pouliot traded for a 2018 4th round pick and Andrey Pedan
• Josh Archibald and a 2019 6th round pick traded for a 2019 4th round pick.
• Riley Sheahan and 2018 5th round pick added for Scott Wilson and a 2018 3rd round pick
• Jamie Oleksiak added for 2019 4th round pick
• Derick Brassard with 40% retention through Vegas and a 2018 3rd round pick added for a 2018 1st, Ian Cole, Filip Gustavsson, Ryan Reaves, a 2019 3rd round pick and a 2018 4th round pick

Plus, you know, he added Hornqvist (Neal), Kessel (2016 1st, Kapanen, Harrington), Daley (Scuderi), Hagelin (Perron [2015 1st]) and Schultz (2016 3rd) before.

Wow! Nice GDT!

LET'S GO PENS!

 

[Shockmaster]

Please get Simon the hell away from Crosby.

 

[Andy99]

Regardless of what happens in the game....
Celebrate! Good times, come on!

Please get Simon the hell away from Crosby.

Ohhh catfight!

 

[66-30-33]

Pens need to win, Flyers won tonight and leaped the Caps for 2nd in the division. Wanna see a Caps vs Flyers 1st round.

 

[Shaffer]

JR is gud at dis.

 

[PensandCaps]

I like Simon with Sid. Simon is good and skilled, just slumping.

 

[PensandCaps]

I hope we see Hunwick and Sheary both heading down the tunnel mid game.

 

[Mr Tanner Glass]

I hope we see Hunwick and Sheary both heading down the tunnel mid game.

For who

 

[PensandCaps]

For who

A 7th for Hunwick. A dman for Sheary.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Can Rowney leave too?

 

[Shockmaster]

I like Simon with Sid. Simon is good and skilled, just slumping.

Not every speedy guy that comes out of WBS is going to be a Guentzel, Rust, or Sheary. He’s probably just a minor leaguer at best.

Simon would need to have someone better on the other wing to do better and they are tied up on L2 & L3.

Sid’s line gets too much attention for the rookie if he doesn’t have a better winger. Rust is good but not the one to help him.

I’d probably go ZAR-Sheary for now. Simon-Rust would be really good on the 4th line especially when Sheahan’s there.

 

[PensandCaps]

Not every speedy guy that comes out of WBS is going to be a Guentzel, Rust, or Sheary. He’s probably just a minor leaguer at best.

I disagree. He's better than Sheary. He's a skilled NHLer.

 

[Shockmaster]

I disagree. He's better than Sheary. He's a skilled NHLer.

No, you’re overrating him because he’s another speedy guy like people overrated Gibbons a few years ago. Last night he didn’t help his cause by being a turnover machine. Time for Simon to go back to WBS.

Let's win for Derick. Poor lad has to deal with immigration. Tough times for him. WIN IT FOR HANDSOME FRENCH CANADIAN HERO #2!

Is Phil good to go or what

 

[Bnat66]

I have no clue how the Panthers look this year-will they be a challenge?

 

[JakeNBake59]

Is Phil good to go or what

yep as per MS and Jarry in net tonight

Lets go Pens keep this juggernaut rolling

they have been playing some good hockey lately as they make a late charge for a wildcard spot, turned round a 2-1 deficit to beat the Caps 3-2 earlier this week with seconds to spare in regulation

[Scandale du Jour]

Sid and Rust, please make it stop Sully. It doesn't work.
