Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Knights | Win | Zucker: The hero we need, not the hero we deserve.

We ran out of money to pay a better 6D.

If you're a team like the Pens who have significant contracts like Sid/Geno/Letang, paying big money to 5D/6D is a wasteful allocation of resources. Same goes for your 11th/12th/13th F and that's why everyone hated the following contracts:

Tanev
JJ
Gubardson

Eh. Never brought that. Those players can still get you killed. And we won cups with 5m bottom pairings and Eric Fehr swanning around making 2m to be the 11th forward. Sure, it's not the first place you spend.... but unless you're running a franchise pretty badly, you will have spending money there.

edit: Also, Gudzilla was hated for being one of the worst dmen in the NHL (before he pleasantly surprised us all) and JJ ditto (before he unpleasantly unsurprised us all), not their contracts. If it was the contract alone, everyone would hate Matheson, which they don't.

The same way Crosby couldn't do shit lastl year in the playoffs with the two best wingers on the team and got out played and performed by Malkin who was on one leg.

Crosby cannot make Guentzel any better himself

Sorry this is a new copy pasta and not actually a hate on Malkin.

Just got caught up with the replays. Great comeback with 5 straight goals...

@HandshakeLine ...

Good on Zucker with 2 goals.
Teddy cleaning up the garbage.
and Jake/Crosby playing cleanup...

That's a lot better than having a great 1st but horrible 2nd/3rd... Doing it in the old heart attack kids, fashion.

Bravo...
