[FlyTimmo]

Free Frost

 

[BiggE]

FFS, we have to play Shitsburgh again?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I am skeptical that giving Braun top pairing minutes is sustainable or good.


Then again, it's a short season.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Just keep the train rolling.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I am skeptical that giving Braun top pairing minutes is sustainable or good.


Then again, it's a short season.

That’s a great point beef.

 

[Curufinwe]

I am skeptical that giving Braun top pairing minutes is sustainable or good.

Good thing he had the 2nd fewest ES minutes on the defense.

Myers 18:58
Provy 18:34
Sanheim 18:09

Gus 16:58
Braun 16:04

Hagg 13:45

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Another one? Ugh.

 

[FlyerFan22]

Joel Farabee, leading the league in points. Keep it up.

Nolan Patrick is no good, damaged goods, and worth players that can't make other teams, or so I am told.

Another win against the other Pennsylvania team is welcome.

 

[BiggE]

I am skeptical that giving Braun top pairing minutes is sustainable or good.


Then again, it's a short season.

I know it’s not good. It’s f***ing horrible.

 

[sigma six]

Man I was so happy to see Patrick and Lindblom score. Do it again!

 

[Sombastate]

I'll be a little disappointed if Joel doesn't have a 200 point season. he's pacing above that, anything less is a let down.

 

[Bruckuss]

So good to be watching again, hope you're all doing well. Farabee is great, I see no flaws with the roster, cup should be a lock lol

 

[KrazyKat]

If Farabee, Lindblom, and Patrick all step up this year to there full potential. We will be a scary team to play against.

hopefully hagg comes out sooner than later too.

[GapToothedWonder]

So good to be watching again, hope you're all doing well. Farabee is great, I see no flaws with the roster, cup should be a lock lol

You son of a bitch, my people will be in contact your people!

 

[BiggE]

Watching this Isles/Rags game sucks. I keep rooting for the Jumbotron to come crashing down.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Watching this Isles/Rags game sucks. I keep rooting for the Jumbotron to come crashing down.

Watching the rags get embarrassed is satisfying though. They look like absolute garbage.

Really think the rags and pens are in that bottom 4 with the sabres and devils.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Do the thing again

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Du Hast" by Rammstein

​

I'm throwing this song in.

Happy 30th Anniversary to this song.

 

[dats81]

The first game was played really sloppy. Hoping for better execution in this one, otherwise it could become a coin toss kind of game as the Penguins still know how to cash in on their chances.

 

[CapnZin]

Watching this Isles/Rags game sucks. I keep rooting for the Jumbotron to come crashing down.

I watched MIN - LAK just to see Kaprizov. Didn’t disappoint. He’s going to be so good.

 

[TheKingPin]

Interested to see how the mini series go around the league. Winning back to back game against the same team is not easy, but will be what determines a division winner.

Agreed. This type of schedule is also a wonderful breeding ground for seething hatred and unbridled aggression. I approve!
