Unless all 5 were late in the 3rd or OT, it's pretty meaningless.

 

[M2Beezy]

I hate Pouliot. Dam you Pittsburgh taking advantage of our meathead GM

 

[DearDiary]

I remember when he scored his 1st goal on his 1st shot. Lemieux came down to ice level to congratulate him, it was like watching the birth of a teams franchise player

Unless all 5 were late in the 3rd or OT, it's pretty meaningless.

When he re tells the story 50 yrs from now it will all be overtimr winners and top shelf.

Being in the NHL record books as the only player to do something is nothing to sneeze about. Especially when the category is Goals and Game Winning Goals

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Unless all 5 were late in the 3rd or OT, it's pretty meaningless.

Also why does it matter when a GWG is scored ?? Its still a GWG

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Meh. He still sucks.

 

[M2Beezy]

Meh. He still sucks.

At ice hockey yes but he might not suck at other things in life

1 in the first, 3 in the second, 1 in the third.

Goals matter anytime you score them.

It matters cause you could have a gwg in a 7-2 blowout win(ie player on the winning team scoring the 3rd goal would get the credit but doesnt matter much cause the score was run up so much), so generally gwg are more important if they are scored when the game matters ala late in the game.

I was referring to hockey obviously.

 

[PensPlz]

I'm just shocked he has 5 goals.

 

[2011 still hurts]

Garbage player. A few offensive showings don't make up for his braindead defensive plays.

Type of player that can lose you a playoff series singlehandedly, no wonder Penguins never played him

I want Pedan back.

I did some research and found out that the only thing he is good at is breathing...

 

[tom leafers]

I’m pretty happy Pittsburgh refused to give us him in the Kessel trade.

Leafs might have been able to develop him into a decent defensemen. Pens put no effort into doing so

Not to relish in your unhappiness with him, but I'm just glad that some fans outside of Pittsburgh are starting to see why we shipped this kid out. I remember some people saying that Pittsburgh got hosed because DP was "a top prospect". He never showed me anything impressive past his time with the Winterhawks.

He was somewhat mis-managed throughout the Bylsma era, but he never showed anything promising in his NHL time here. Pittsburgh was trying to win now, not waste time and roster space trying to teach a slow-developing prospect how to play hockey.

 

[haveandare]

He only now has 5 goals?

 

[Tryblot]

I hate Pouliot. Dam you Pittsburgh taking advantage of our meathead GM

Everyone takes advantage of your gm. Idiot.

 

[Three On Zero]

Meh. He still sucks.

He sucks, but he sucks and makes more than you ever will for sucking

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

I want Pedan back.

Pedan for Stecher

 

[CraigBillington]

I want Pedan back.

To be fair, I would rather neither

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Have his first 5 NHL goals as all Game Winning Goals.

Mr Clutch!

I changed your thread title because coy thread titles suck. DOCTORS HATE HIM! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT DEREK POULIOT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. NUMBER FIVE HAD ME IN STITCHES.

Carry on.
