FINALLY... Despres HAS COME BACK to... the NHL

[MrBurghundy]

I would say he's more like Giroux

I mean Giroux is better than Crosby anyway so...

All right, that's enough. Shut it down. Burn it down.

You keep this up and we'll find a Kunitz and Dupuis to saddle you with

Kunitz - IcedCapp - Dupuis

The kid line! I like it. Let's put it together and leave it together forever, regardless of age, skill, or performance.

“But let it be known that Dupuis’ greatest contribution to this group of Penguins might already have happened, and it happened two summers ago.

That’s when Dupuis, tired of seeing Simon Despres display so much talent but so little rigidity on the blue line, invited his fellow French-Canadian to join him in Quebec for several weeks of joint training. Now, when even a fitness freak like Crosby concedes defeat at trying to keep up with Dupuis, imagine what that was like for Despres, a lanky kid who never before had much upper-body strength.

“He didn’t just change my career,†Despres told me. “He changed my life.â€

Despres is the Penguins’ most improved player since last season. He’s dominating at times. He’s living up to his first-round pedigree after years of disappointing.

His engine will always have a No. 9 on the hood†[x]

Thanks for bringing it back home to the extremely depressing feeling we all have at the loss of such an awesome human and hockey player.

Edit: I thought you said "potato" (no clue what that was supposed to mean). Not going to remove this picture though.

IC's more like the Oliwa of the Despres threads. Mean, angry, and unrelenting.

That's why I love the guy. Cole's numbers are inflated because half of his posts are secondary posts.

SECONDARY POSTING. How dare you. My set up passes are the reason goals happen.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

icedcapp is a generational talent. look at how ahead he is of his peers

He's just on a good board. Anyone would look good on that board. He's not the Bobby Orr of message boards.

I had all of ONE post in all of the threads.

The four subsequent were to try and get IC to understand that I was basically supporting his position in that one post and explaining to the guy who set him off why Despres mattered, mostly as a symbol, for me and so many. I should have stuck with the one post, I am pretty sure that I never succeeded in getting him to understand what I had said in that first post.

Ooops, I am up to six posts now.

Better stop while I am behind.

You're definitely the Beau Bennett of the board. Nothing you do can ever be right

 

[IcedCapp]

I like how Jaded-Fan still doesn't know what he said.

JF: I have no interest in discussing anything with you. Just don't mention me and you can go on saying whatever you want. I won't mind, I promise.

And now we have the reason that Bennett will be traded...he and Crosby don't get along

Bennett for Clayton Stoner

If the Penguins wind up with Clayton Stoner, I'll burn CEC down. I don't even care anymore.

Joint training. Finally we get to the bottom of his "problem"

That explains why he packed on the pounds, too.
