nvm

Has he though? His Corsi Rel is tied for the worst defenseman on the team.

It's good relative to his usual standard I guess, but that's not saying much.

His Corsi's through the roof though.

Which I'm sure will continue, since the most recent 3 game sample size is all that matters now apparently.

There’s the whole having 6 ES goals and 10 goals overall in his last 50 games.

I’m sure 16 goal pace over his last 50 game is elite tho.

 

[Corvidae]

Your eternal pessimism cracks me up. I think we're getting to the point where you want the Penguins to lose.

I'm a big fan of the reverse jinx. There's also a lot of guys to lay into this year so it's extra fun to turn the snark up to an 11. We have fun where we can.

Yes! The reverse jinx is top notch.

The problem is that this place can be so negative that it just blends in and you get a bunch of people replying seriously to you. So then what do you do? Do you reveal your reverse jinxing, thereby negating its power? Or do you just play along?

01:30am?

Urgh

 

[EightyOne]

fun fact: the Wild have never lost a home opener in regulation apparently...14-0-4...

They also, until now, had never started 0-3 on a season.

These two facts are oddly amazing success for an expansion team.

The most impressive thing about the Wild is the fact that someone had the brass balls to name them the f***ing Wild.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes you gotta lean in and be all like "trade Crosby"

The Wild need Kaprizov to come over pretty badly.

If he doesn't next year, I'd probably bow out if I were a Minnesota fan.

Weird what playing with Sid / Geno does for your point totals..

 

[pensfan71]

This is a horrendous lineup

Yes, Kunitz was quite a player over that period. His subsequent shittiness doesn't erase that.

Exactly my point with Kessel..

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Exactly my point with Kessel..

What point is that?

But let's take this to the salary cap thread before someone e-murders us. Justifiably.

He is no longer individually able to carry a line at ES.

 

[dogthateats]

 

[pensfan71]

That's dusty

 

[PhilThrillPill]

I don't understand why Tanev isn't being placed on the second line with McCann. They had excellent chemistry with Galchenyuk (even if it was brief) and he is definitely outworking almost all other Pens players...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I’m sure there will be some shifts during the game.

 

[Corvidae]

Why can't we just have guys like Colby and Rupp pre/post/intermission? Caufield is just... so bad. At best, he's bland. At worst, unintelligible nonsense. I sure wouldn't want to be the one to tell him he's fired though...

 

[Pancakes]

I'm beers deep and moving onto liquor soon. Lets gooooo boys.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

He is no longer individually able to carry a line at ES.

He hasn't since HBK. That doesn't mean he hasn't been an extremely valuable player.

 

[ColePens]

I do not understand why the f*** A Johnson isn't getting more minutes. Stop running 3 lines. Use the kid. He's speeeeedy

 

[Corvidae]

Wait, you want "minutes" as in plural?
