Post-Game Talk: Discipline 2 - Undisciplined 3

I was right about that as well. I thought they'd play him and unfortunately they have. With his consecutive streak and the fact that he's a regular on the PK I doubted that MJ would scratch him. It's a shame, MJ's decisions regarding the lesser lights reminds me of someone, someone I loathed.
I feel similarly about Sill, neither should be here. And again such decisions make me question what the hell this team is actually trying to accomplish.
MJ wants everyone to buy in and by extension wants to be liked by everyone. since he's new he doesn't want to alienate anyone or become a divisive figure, which is understandable (to a point). But that shouldn't include making piss poor decisions that inevitably hurt the team. And that's precisely what he's doing.

And replace him with... Megna? Sill? Ebbett?
Don't get me wrong, I'm as unhappy about the forward situation as anyone - which is why I'd have liked to see them grab Galiardi and/or Setoguchi off waivers. I mean, Uher looks like one of the better options still left in WBS - and he's been less productive in the AHL than Zach Sill! (0.254 P/GP vs 0.264 P/GP)
I'm sure Johnston is thrilled to have all these forward options available to him

yes any of the three

I'd rather none of them. In fact, I'd say that neither Sill nor Adams have any place being regulars in any NHL lineup.

Sill/Adams is just becoming Glass/Adams all over again. Atleast Sill SHOULD be sent to WBS after 1 or 2 moves by JR though. Thats the only bright spot.
Adams, on his own, we can get bye with. He's not a terrible PK'er. He hasn't been getting much ice time either.
Goc/Beau get back and 2 of Ebbett/Sill/Megna sit.
1 trade on top of that and Sill sits for good.
2 trades on top of that and thats when you start getting into Adams healthy scratched territory.

At term!
As bad/disappointing as he's been... you're right that he's still no Tanner Glass.
I assume that's who you meant.

I would be happy when numbers #25-#38 aren't on the team anymore.
Adams
MAF
Ebbett
Sill

Yep, that'd be the guy.
I couldn't understand how the Pens saw fit to pay him 1.1 million, then he goes and gets a raise from the Rangers.

Because Glen Sather.
He seems to have a thing for breaking out the pooper scooper when the Penguins hunker down and squat one out.
Well... to be completely accurate, he just has a thing for throwing money at crap, in general.

Also, I don't really get the Ebbett hate.
I mean, he's played all of 10 games in the NHL for the Penguins. He's a perfectly fine injury call up, nothing else.

I don't hate the guy, I just see nothing there. Every time he gets called up, I think.. "meh" instead of being excited.

Ya, no kidding...
Showcasing him for a trade?! PLEASE let that be the logical explanation...

I was talking more about the people who say they can't wait until he's out of the organization. "Meh" was my exact response when he got called up as well, but that's pretty much a given when your team calls up a 31 year old depth player.
I just think he's such a nondescript player that he shouldn't be all that polarizing. He's a good guy to have in the AHL and he can play a game or two for you in a pinch and look competent.
I'd rather see any of Rust, Uher or Farnham up here, though. Jonathan Bombulie has been pushing hard for Farnham to get the call, hopefully someone listens to him.

He's less infuriating than Adams and Sill. I don't see the problem with him either.
