Wouldn't be surprised if the Reverend scores a goal against his old club. He's become a big game player since we traded him for a friggin 5th.

So what's the reaction if Sid burns Despres repeatedly?

Couldn't help myself. I looked back at the Root intermission report with their "CHRIS KUNITZ IS AWESOME!!!" report and it honestly made me sick to my stomach.

Dunno man. Dating back to Shero/Bylsma, the whole family atmosphere thing and the media's love for redundant players and their inability to question ANYTHING the organization does, I can't help but feel the Penguins as a whole have an almost cult like personality and it makes me care for them a lot less than I want to.

They need to unleash the Toronto media on our players for a few months.

the Penguins have already edited Bortuzzo and Despres out of the newest commercial. Their marketing/PR team is amazing.

If Despres plays well it will be more posters talking about how great he is, we told you he was good blah blah blah

If Despres plays bad its only 1 game, no big deal, lots of players have trouble with Sid and Geno.


The truth is that this game wouldn't determine how good or bad this trade is, or how good or bad a player Despres will turn out to be.

Sid would have to show he has a pulse and Despres is too good for that. Soooooo. It ain't happening.

Geno, on the other hand, has a chance. Dude is burning everyone right now.

I could see him and Geno getting into it. I think everyone will have a hard ****ing night coming down the right side and that there will be a few shoving matches.

Sincerely hoping for a Pens loss. A dark part of me is hoping they somehow don't make the playoffs. It's the only way this organization will FINALLY learn some humility and stop living off the glory of '09.

I would actually prefer this. It's almost too hard watching them lose in the playoffs...we know its not happening this year. It's like a girl breaking up with you before you ask her to marry you knowing that it will likely end in divorce.

they are going hardcore then, because they had a commercial with glass in it playing for practically two months at the start of the season

Well, yeah. They LOVED Tanner Glass. Team and PR, alike (same thing?). Probably looked into bringing him back in.
