Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens get back on track thanks to Dumo & Marino!

[Gurglesons]

Marino's contract renewal better be 8yrs for term.

5.5 x 8

 

[ColePens]

We unfortunately will need to probably move Pets contract out to keep the trio of Letang/Dumo/Marino until they all want to retire. And I want all 3 until they choose to retire.

5.5 x 8

By year 2 that contract would be the biggest steal.

 

[Hobodrifter]

Pretty pumped for the win and even more for having Dumo and Marino back. If Marleau works with L2 this could be really tough for other teams to match up against.

 

[Gurglesons]

Marino's a wonderkid. He's better at 22 than Letang was.

Lol. What?

Letang was a top four D on a cup winner at 22.

Oh I am on board with this mate, all 3 are just the cornerstone.

 

[Extra Texture]

was it a perfect game?

no.

was it a massively better game?

YES

The fact that we blew their door off while being far from perfect is not just a good sign, It’s exactly what expect from a team just coming out of a funk and getting two of their top 4 back. IF we had’ve gone back to dominating I would’ve thought it was a false dawn.

As it stands, exploding for seven goals, everyone’s in on the scoring, and we’re gonna get better (as Dumo and Marino get back in the groove) and healthier. Good times.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Happy days are here again, goddamn it's good to get a win.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

This team is going to get entirely healthy soon and then look out.

 

[GregR]

+They won...literally, that's it. Couldn't afford to drop another one to a bad team.

Buffalo has had their number recently so it'd be a step forward to handle business against them in their building.

 

[StaalForOne]

I almost made a "Lets pump the brakes on John Marino long term" post, because we've had a few recent examples of getting too hype too soon on some players (Maatta/Pettersson), but I just realized that Marino has already outscored Letang's first full season here...so...maybe pay him.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Marino is exactly what this team needs. Calm, smart, disciplined. It’s the way we were playing a month ago and forgot once Sid got back. This is a step, need to build and get the whole team playing this way again. Now we just need Sullivan to make the right roster decisions.

 

[Gurglesons]

This team is going to get entirely healthy soon and then look out.

No Jake.

This team would be f***ing fearrrrsome with Jake.

Jake - Crosby - Zucker
Marleau - Malkin - Rust
Sheary - McCann - Hornqvist
Bjugstad - Bjugstad - Bjugstad

 

[ChaosAgent]

I have them saved in a folder, a lot from just google and twitter extraction.

Korean BBQ, Meat Sweats and Bryan Rust.

This losing streak gave me a tiny window into your virtual soul, HoG.

Sheary will no longer score on us. We will win now!

Why is he twerking?

More importantly WHO is he twerking toward?

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m going to start pulling your Letang posts from 2013.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Marino's a wonderkid. He's better at 22 than Letang was.

Is it even worth debating whether he's our #1D O.T.F.?

John Marino is the Penguins' next captain. Which won't be for a while, but still.

 

[dogthateats]

Anyone have a gif or clip of Zucker’s goal? Only one I missed tonight.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Continue with the Marino jinx. It worked last time.

 

[vodeni]

finally...good win...lots of goals...we so needed that

+ everyone except Petts, JJ , Schultz and (sorry) Lafferty...
+ good night in the Metro
+ JJ’s wife giving birth...how soon can she pop out another one?

- it’s Ottawa...let’s keep the expectations real and get a win finally against our toughest competitor who beats us to shreds every game this season: Buffalo ....

I liked Laff's game tonight

Nah cap going up they can afford them if jj goes bye bye

Dumo 4.1 - Letang 7.25
Pets- 4 - Marino - 4.5 -5.5(depends when his extension signs)
Riikola - Ruh (or bring in a cheap vet)
Poj - Reilly
Almari

 

[BeatenLikeRentedMule]

A wins a win and the Pens needed one bad. See if they can start recovering and playing with consistency. Sully should split PP1 and PP2 50/50.

Pretend its you and let it wash over you.
