Pre-Game Talk: Game 7 | Pens vs. Stars #HockeyFightsCancer

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Yeah this is just stupid. Did MJ decide to completely change the system during the last 2 practices? I don't see why Sprong missing 2 practices should stop him from playing tonight. MJ might be worse than Bylsma.

The Pens and their media partners are a very powerful propaganda machine.
There are not enough knowledgable fans out there to provide resistance.

It is what it is.

DKs site is actually a great example. It was much smaller when part of Trib, fewer commenters, more who actually knew a little bit. I didn't mind going there and commenting.

Now it is literally Pravda.

A real shame.

Pravda means "truth" in Russian, so either you are saying that DKs site is actually the truth, or you don't know what "literally" means...

And yes, I am aware you were trying to refer to the Russian newspaper named "Pravda". Given the lack of Cyrillic on DKs' site, I'm confident in saying it isn't "literally" that newspaper, either.
Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. I'd be fine with the evolution of the language if "literally" wasn't being used to mean the opposite of the definition of "literally"... and there were another word to replace it.

The only positive I can see is that perhaps Dupuis' return will distract Steiggy from his Kunitz lovefest for one night.

Dude first, don't post in WHITE it's hard to read.

I speak Russian and I know what Pravda means.

However if YOU don't know that using the term "Pravda" as a reference to propaganda, I.e. Dis-information, or NOT TRUTH, if you will, and that I used the term "literally"'in an ironic way to poke fun at DK's site, then I LITERALLY don't know what to tell you.

Seriously, chill.

Whats the russian word for slow, busted, old veteran?

do you really think he can't do two at once. he dreams about it every night

Kunitzov, Scuderkin and Ada- doesn't need to be done because he's done.

 

[madinsomniac]

One would think we would still be in full Kessel lovefest round these parts... the Pens are awful at hyping the right player (insert Craig "ironman" Adams pic in here)

this post literally gave me AIDs, the sexually transmitted disease

I believe that they call that a Scuderi.

As in, 'Comrade, stop driving that old Scuderi, the wheels are about to fall off. Time to buy a new one.'

 

[Zero Pucks]

And so the benching of our young players for old worthless veterans begins.

 

[Deport Ogie]

It didn't use to be this way, right? I remember watching the high-powered Penguins of the 90s and I certainly can't remember repeated media love-fests for Joe Dziedzic and Mike Needham.

Then again, there was Ian Moran.

Ramzi Abid was fast.

 

[Joejosh999]

Dear God, Moran. Scuderi v1.0

 

[chrisp200]

Duper is a high end bottom 6 guy, always has been. when we were stuck with slower less effective wingers, he is fine as a top 6 guy. he doesnt really have the scoring touch of a real top 6 guy, but he makes up for it with effort and speed.

Like I said... if we ran

---------_Crosby_--------
Sprong-_______-Kessel
---------_Malkin_--------
Perron-_______-Hornqvist

Plotnikov-Bonino-Bennett

------- __Fehr__----------
Duper-________-Kunitz
---------_Crosby_--------

Where crosby took shifts with the 4th line, malkin took shifts with the Kessel line, and Fehr took shifts with the 3rd line at times, i'd be ok with that. Double shift Crosby and malkin...

I like this, and as a Graphic Designer, I must say this is a nice visual. I think MJ could even understand it.

Begins? This has been ongoing for as long as I can remember. I'm just waiting for the eventual trade for Tom Gilbert or Roman Polak that'll bench Dumoulin.

It started with game 1 of the season.

Penguins gonna Penguin.

ftfy

The bizarre thing is Mario and Burkle called the team out for not going with youth in their interview with DK. I'm surprised they're ok with the way Johnston has continued that trend.

I wish they were a little more hands on. I know Mario watches a ton of the games and you can see sometimes from his body language that he's at times disgusted with the Pens. But it's also very much Mario to internalize all of that and not say anything. I think Mario has extremely strong opinions on how to run the team but he's content to let the coaches/gms do what they want for the most part because as much as he has his opinions he's unwilling to step in and cause drama. That isn't Mario's way.

yeah... but now we can get even more carried away with it.

 

[PensandCaps]

I miss bylsma., at least he always had geno and sid over 100 points, johnstons system is boring

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

do you really think he can't do two at once. he dreams about it every night

I'm banking on Steiggy being too stupid to remember two talking points

 

[mpp9]

League scoring among stars is down. Ill sacrifice a few points if they have good defensive habits when the games matter as well.

Sid and Malkin were coming back deep in their own end Tuesday and it was beautiful to watch. Especially since they also dominated the game.

Pssht. No way. Benn is on pace for 136pts

I kid. I kid.
