Post-Game Talk: Cole's Plus/Minus: Pens vs. Cats - If you give a moose a muffin

[IcedCapp]

He finally went to Russia.

but he wasn't in a hurry

 

[Gurglesons]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pens go 3-2 maybe even 4-1 on this upcoming trip.

Sprong for Pettersson if Pettersson keeps this up was an absolute fleece.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Parcus Mettersson has been an amazing pickup.

He's getting more confident each game. His offensive totals are going up of late and man was that pass to Pearson sweet.

Seriously, originally I was really bummed that Sprong didnt pan out after lot of hype but pettersson has more than made up for that loss. Another great trade by JR.

Can we bump those threads where 95% the posters here were having a meltdown over that trade?

 

[Ryder71]

What a turnaround for both Rust and Murray from the beginning of the season.

If Pettersson gains some weight he could be an elite shutdown guy.

Crosby with another great game, that guy was really feeling it. Loved seeing him smile after his goal, you can tell he's having fun when he grins like that after the 5th goal in a 5-1 game.

Great post! MM, Sid, Pettersson and Rust all had great showings tonight.

Man does Sprong Suck.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

Missed the game. What happened to Horny?

 

[Gurglesons]

Man does Sprong Suck.

Not really. But, to trade a player that is still questionable for a young D that is showing what Pettersson is here is incredible. We knew he was a bottom pairing D, but he’s looking like Dumo at 22.

He keeps getting hit in the head by pucks.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I have no problem with Oleksiak being used against more physical teams.

If Rig played up to his size he'd be a steal at his cap.

Never draft a Dutch player ever again.

thats really not true, there were three or four very loud and very persistent posters, majority of us very early realized that that was a big time win trade...also that coincided with the bad stretch of games....

 

[Empoleon8771]

Where on JR's trade history does Sprong for Pettersson land? I feel like it has to be damn near the top, even if Sprong ends up great for the Ducks. To get what the Penguins got for what Sprong was is just insane, they got a legit top-4 D on his ELC for him.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Their play always goes to hash... thinking about all those picture windows down the street back home. He loves to score.

 

[Peat]

How many high danger saves did Murray make tonight stat folks? Dude was insane tonight.

10.

.973 save percentage overall.

Those poor pucks. Hornqvist's entire body is the hardest substance known to man. Okay, maybe not as hard as @ColePens when he sees Hornqvist shirtless wearing a nice pair of shoes, but still pretty damn hard.

Seriously though, I hope he's okay and was just held out as a precaution.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Malkin's gone. And he's never. coming. back.

Good to see you changed your username back.

All is now right with the (HF) world.

Now get back to entertaining me

Give this one a bit of time before ranking it. See if he progresses or regresses. Right now it has shades of Scuderi for Daley, but it could go awry yet. Took a while for people to sour on Oleksiak after all.

But... if it keeps up like this then, yeah, Scuderi for Daley. Spare part that doesn't fit with dubious trade value for exactly the dman we needed.

 

[Pancakes]

Cullen really has been a useful player for us. I was skeptical given his age, but he's given us some offense on that 4th line, and will be a valuable asset in the playoffs as always.

Good signing by JR.

I want to wait and see what Pettersson becomes, but yeah. It’s definitely one of his better ones.

Potentially Scuds for Daley.

That is a great way to look at it, though I'm a little reserved on the top 4 label, but he certainly is making a case for himself.

Man, hard to top the Sutter trade,the Daley trade, And the Hagelin trade.

Hornqvist trade might be #1.

Hell the Dumoulin trade might be #1.

You know what....i hope he's NOT okay.

Nothing is beating the hot dog trade... C'mon.
