All-encompassing anti-Pittsburgh thread

Really depends on where the picks end up, but I could see scenarios that include both 1sts this year.

What's the highest the picks could be, where you would personally still feel comfortable trading both of them for Beniers? Like 10+18? 8+16? Where do you draw your line? Just curious.

Tough one, I haven't done a deep dive on this draft yet, and with scouting more limited this year it makes it tougher, so I'm more likely to lean on the generous side in favor of Beniers. That said.... 8+12 or 13 feels about right at the high end.

Considering our lowest pick is likely much lower, it is very likely I'd favor the move if it came.

Halak can go to hell.

Twice as many shot through one period, half as many goals. Didn’t even bother turning this one on. The penguins are broken. They played awful and still found ways to win long enough for Jarry to become competent again

I came here to post essentially the same sentence. This is a wild curse more so than the penguins being good.

Eh. At this point we are trending way up.

Yeah for sure trending up now. All I was saying is that they somehow found ways to win a ton of games they were outplayed and Jarry/Malkin eventually found their games

I got cocky and now half the team is dead.

Who got hurt?

 

[Gurglesons]

Who got hurt?

Malkin and Blueger.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Malkin and Blueger.

I thought I saw that Malkin came back?

Then left after one shift. #gopens

Ah darn. Still looks like there’s some breathing room from the Flyers though.

Atleast you have Zucker for a couple more years

Yeah. Also, at least a conference finals t-shirt is not the highlight of my sports swag.

We luckily play NJ and BUF a lot this next week. But uh.. could possibly go sideways quick!

That cuts deep...

At least Andrew Brunette ended Roy’s career that run.

Made him look silly doing it also

Malkin and Blueger on IR

 

[57special]

double oof. I think Blueger has been decent for them, in a bottom six grinderish fashion. That's two C's out , too.

On the bright side, they lost tonight.

Doesn't look like PHA is gonna be giving them much of a fight for a playoff spot, though.

Blueger has been scoring at a 40 pt pace in a normal season and been a top five D center in the league.

I’d argue losing him hurts us more than Malkin.

 

[57special]

I knew he was good for you guys, but wasn't sure how good.

 

[Gurglesons]

Uh oh. We suck again.
