GDT: #60 Sabers vs. Pens|Ge...dom! Sat, Feb. 22|1:00PM|PPG

[Ryder71]

Beside the few tap-ins, Zucker has been pretty meh overall since arriving here.

I think a lot of players haven't been at their best of late TBH. McCann, Simon, Geno, Rust etc.

 

[Turin]

Yes, a bunch of # 7-8 dmen. Anything else to comment?

Bet you wouldn’t trade Riikola tho

 

[Shockmaster]

Not to mention letting Simon slide for his terrible play. Zucker must think he ended up in bizarro world. Probably wants to go back.

At this point it's Rutherford to stop the ridiculousness with this guy. I had hoped all the favoritism with players who score 10 or fewer goals was gone after Shero and Bylsma were fired.

 

[KIRK]

Haven't seen @ColePens, so I suppose I'll take PGT unless he says otherwise.

 

[vodeni]

good news Geno is still giving shit

 

[Turin]

Simon is what he is, a 4th liner that Sid likes for some reason. But for a "top 6 forward" Zucker certainly doesn't look like one.

Zucker looked really good when the rest of the team was looking good, including Sid. Nobody looks good the last couple games.

 

[Ugene Magic]

2 for Geno... He's free....

 

[KIRK]

Too little, too late, but the Pens 3 stars are Horny, Horny, and Geno.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Pull the gooooalie

 

[Tom Hanks]

The word slide would indicate that he was, at one point, on the top end of the emotional scale, though

He was dragged there against his will

 

[KIRK]

Pull the gooooalie

Why not. Situational work.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

What's that? Traffic in front and another goal? Apparently that works, a little too late though.

 

[SEALBound]

Lol

 

[td_ice]

It's a G thing.

That's also true. Maybe losing Marino to injuries impacted our transition game more than we realized?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Hey at least we lost by 3 this time, and didnt get shutout, so um, yay?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pull the gooooalie

They were playing with one before?

i thought blueger was flying just nothing to show for

 

[KIRK]

LOL, thanks Mears. Only Geno has scored on the Sabres this year for the Pens.

 

[K Fleur]

This is what happens when you don’t play ZAR.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

If it is not injury related, it is pretty obvious that management don’t have much faith in Riikola. Look at his average ice time.

 

[IcedCapp]

good news Geno is still giving shit

Been nice if he could have given a shit 14 seconds into the game. But hey, giving a shit down 4 is nice.

 

[KIRK]

i thought blueger was flying just nothing to show for

Yes, good call. TB has worked his ass off today.

 

[Ryder71]

Say what you will about Riikola, but Trotman isnt an NHL player.

Especially playing his offside. That's the kinda thing that irks me about Sully. Riikola has had gaffes as you alluded to. But this seems like a step backward. And I'm not sure what is achieved in doing this. Riikola with all his faults is a better player.

 

[vodeni]

now that was legit funny
