Around the NHL - Same games every day

They can’t afford him and just hockey wise he’s not the guy for us. Too much of a roller coaster type player. Not very stable, lots of highs but lots of lows.

I don’t want him but they could probably make the kind of player he is work or at least have a decent shot.

Dumoulin-Letang
POJ-Marino
Pettersson-DeAngelo

They’re better equipped to handle it on RD than figuring out Matheson with the other LD. There’s just no way I want to deal with that walking shit show.

I can see the Oakland Raiders putting in a claim

 

[BHD]

Wait... the Rangers put on waivers? Wooooow...

 

[ColePens]

Admin has been very clear. I do not care what side of politics you land on. That is a disgusting way to like or dislike someone that you do not know. All while the Pens have someone who was arrested for domestic violence in the past. This warning has gone up so many times. I am so sick of saying it.

Discuss the player. It's that simple.

Sucks we didn't claim Capobianco.

I wonder if someone is close to coming back healthy?

It's a dislike for Tony who attacks people on social media when they disagree with him. Mate I get the political stuff but our Co owner buying a creepy ass place (not political just flat out creepy) and the DeSmith stuff is something I have been vocal about not wanting on the team at all. I think me and @Gurglesons have been pretty vocal for not wanting CDS on the team at all.

Hopefully that's ok. Not trying to cause grief here.

Assessing the player is what we have to do, man. Assess the player. This stems back from main board threads on Evander Kane, DeAngelo, Patrick Kane, etc. It's gotten to the point where libel comes into play and we have to make sure we toe the proper line.

Probably just wanted to avoid his name being affiliated with this song. Too much of a locker room distraction

Do we need him though? He hasn't done much if anything in his nhl games so far and the Pens are better off just waiting for one of Petts, Riiko, and MM to come back.

Really depends on how much longer those LDs will be out. Hopefully one of them returns soon. I mean, hopefully everyone is healthy ASAP.

 

[BHD]

Guys, we're not going to let the discussion head in that direction - at all. The last thing this site - posters, mods, admin - wants is to get caught rolling in mud.

 

[Turin]

What’s with New York and defensemen? Smith goes there and is immediately out of the league. Trouba goes there and sucks. DeAngelo has a huge year then is on waivers the next.

According to Rangers fans, Quinn's system isn't the best when it comes to defense.

How would it be libel when all of his actions have been made in public?

The guy was clearly waived because of attitude problems. This is part of assessing the player.

It can be discussed without discussing politics.

Example: I would not claim him even if we have a lot of injuries. The upside on the ice is not worth the distraction.

I think that's the line.

Well Allvin did make them retroactive so some could be skating with the team right now and I believe one or more is, and be back for the Feb 1st game. I recall a bunch that were retroactively put on LTIR from Jan 13th etc. I'm fairly certain we're getting one LD back.

He's just an awful person and while there are many players that are awful on the ice but great people off of it, Tony is not one of those blokes. He has authority issues with the refs and it's a pattern that has followed him from juniors to now. He's been suspended for harassment and abuse in the Ohl to another teammate. The refs thing.

He's toxic. I can't fathom any rational pens fan even considering someone like that on this team. It'd be one of those moves that destroys the dressing room.

And that's all without political stuff too. That's how awful he is.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The fact that there's a long history of nobody being able to stand working with or employing the guy for long seems like it'd be a discussion point of merit to me.

Take Brooks Orpik's worst tendencies and you've just begun to scratch the surface of what makes DeAngelo so disliked. Nothing is ever his fault, but he's the first to criticize. Anger issues with coaches and refs dating back to junior. Running through teams quickly despite obvious talent...shit, it's almost like there's fire underneath all that smoke long before you even get to his social media or views.

I've quit jobs because of co-workers like DeAngelo before. f*** coddling shitty people. He's a goddamned train wreck defensively, was horrendous in the bubble, and has been just as bad early on here too.

I don’t think that’s the root of all their problems. DeAngelo had that big season under him, Fox has only played under Quinn, Miller seems to be acquitting himself well and I don’t think Smith’s issues are because of the system. Smith showed up out of shape and was eventually waived before Quinn, and if memory serves he wasn’t great in Detroit and is now almost 32. Someone like JJ is godawful all on his own. It might be part of it but I doubt it’s the only major problem.

Trouba thing is well, the world knew that contract was never going to be worth it and yikes now.
