Pre-Game Talk: The All Purpose Off Day Thread | Schultz, Murray Practice with Team

[Pens x]

So you seriously think that's how it works. Go you.

All of the Jimmy defenders praise him because he doesn’t care about winning trades and he will overpay if he feels his team will be better. He’s super aggressive! Blah blah blah.

Then this summer happened in which he was so friggin conservative and passive.

You totally have your finger on the pulse of how the NHL works. I must say.

So waiting until December to try to fix your errors made in June is how it should work?

Martin Hanzal!

1... 2... 3!

Three points!

If only JR listened to the wisdom of some on here this summer.

Coulda had that beast for the paltry sum of 4.75m.

It's not worth discussing with you because you seriously have zero clue about how anything other than EA Sports version of NHL works.

Pens X is probably that guy who switches all teams to Human-control in NHL18 after the CPU GM won't trade him the players he wants.

 

[LiquorLicense]

Holy shit, Brian f***ing Gibbons has more goals than sid??

I don't remember anyone here clamouring for an injury prone, slow and declining Martin Hanzal. Infact, most here said to stay away.

Nah, I did say we should have signed him after Bones left. I fully admit to that. Though I think I only said it once or twice.

I don’t play video games sooo...I will take your word for it.

Compared to his grasp of what people are saying and why they're saying it though, he's Bob McKenzie...

Well, maybe work on that memory because this poster did.

Jarry will be fine. Backups occasionally have to play a string of games, you don't have to go out and get another goalie every time your starter gets injured.

2-4 weeks sounds like a sprain of some kind rather than anything serious. Good to hear.

I didn't realize that attempting to trade for Matt Duchene was passive and conservative. That is why he didn't sign Bones (that and the fact that we should never have been the team to give Bones his raise) and that is why he didn't sign Hanzal or anyone else. He wanted the big fish. That clearly backfired but I don't call that being passive or conservative

Dude, just put him and the other two special kids on ignore. It's quite a pleasant place if you do. I've been stooge free for almost a week now. I've lost 5lbs, gained lean muscle, and have seen real hair growth. I am pleased with the results and you could be too!

Holy ****, Brian ****ing Gibbons has more goals than sid??

I watch Will Butcher when I can because I have a semi-connection to him through a round about way but Gibbons has a little mojo this year. Course every year you get an anomaly like this. I say he's the Paul Byron of this year. Used to love the PK combo of Goc+Gibbons.

Agreed. Stick with Jarry and Desmith unless Murray's recovery has a set back. In the meantime, if you can pick up a goalie in the Cole deal, do it.

pick one off the scrap heap...no need to lose anything of value.

Depends. If you get a scrap heap guy it best be a guy that you will ditch once Murray is back. In that case, best not lose anything of value. However, if you can spend a tad more and get a guy like Pickard who can be fitted into the equation even with Murray's return, that is preferred.

Think about playoff time. I'd rather role with Pickard than Jarry if Murray went down.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I liked Hanzal.
Problem was the bidding war in FA'y.
I'd be fine with him for under 4M on this team.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

So now we need a back-up goalie.

Jimmy, wake up and do something.

Wasn't it just a year ago you were raging about Fleury being on the roster and how the Pens were doomed to a devastating buyout at the end of the '16-'17 season? Boy that Jimmy sure is dumb...

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Oh man. Nucks fans are not going to let that one slide.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I didn't know that was a thing. And I don't know why it's a thing. I wish I didn't know that was a thing.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I'm excited to see what Jarry can do.

If Jarry shows he can be a starter in this league he will be a big trade chip for the pens down the road.

 

[deakka]

Home and Home against a struggling Buffalo. We better pick up 4 points. Standings are still a war zone.

 

[Pens1566]

I don't see any reason to make a desperate move for 2-4 week injury. Ride Jarry. See what we've got first.

Yes.
This Home and Home against sabres this weekend are the only b2b we have all december. So if Jarry plays well we wont need to use our backup much - if any.
