GDT: Game 13: Washington @ Pittsburgh, 3pm EST Feb 14th

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Second line for Pens is key here. Get that line going and Malkin up for the caps is a good thing. At least Pens D is decent now with a couple guys back.

I think you mean get MALKIN going, right? Since it's all his fault and he's terrible etc. Everyone else on that line has been picture perfect and an absolutely custom fit for his long-established style of play. It's all on one guy because that's totally fair and accurate.

Pittsburgh Penguins Ask State To Allow Fans Into PPG Paints Arena At 25% Capacity


Man I hope they do it...

With wolf making decisions?

 

[Pens x]

Oh good, Swiss cheese is in net.

Don’t get me wrong, DeSmith is a fringe NHL goalie right now, but Jarry has been even worse. The team held the Isles to the 3 goals; why are we not riding him again?

We have no room for error as we continue to get buried in the standings. I don’t think Jarry should be given another opportunity in the next two games unless DeSmith fails. Try Jarry again in the next series against the Isles.

If this team doesn’t win with this GDT, blow it up.

The pens really should go over our GDTs in pregame meeting

If I got the GM or PoHOp job I would make it mandatory.

Will be missing this game, but hopefully Jarry plays good. He’s key in us bouncing back this season along with Geno starting up.

I will take a guess and say Geno plays really good today.

Randy... buddy... I'm sorry. They made their decision. It's over.

But look don't let it bring you down. You have to start smaller. Look maybe just walk into whatever tarpaper shack or mud hut the Nailers run their organization out of, razzle-dazzle them with like a lighter and some shiny keys or something and get your foot in the door there, first.

I mean I guess odds have to catch up at some point.

Maybe?

We hope?

You like PTSD?

To go where nobody has gone... for a little while.

Perhaps one day we can even change his line.

Dare to dream.

Because Jarry will not turn anything around not playing.

Like it or not Jarry was our choice for number one (and we know DeSmith ain't one) so we should play him like one. If he turns out a complete bust then so be it, not like the team is on fire elsewhere this ear.

@Andy99
Bet pens give up five or more tonight?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Why? It's completely his fault that he has zero chemistry with the team's supposedly second premier wing. He obviously doesn't give a shit as evidenced by the like 15 years of massive success here and being less than a year removed from a monster season. What have you been watching? He sucks on purpose because he hates us.

I mean they could maybe flip two guys for a few games and see what happens but... have you forgotten about DUOS?!? We can't not have duos.

*points out Malkin and Rust were broken up*

THAT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE REASONS

no...they aren’t playing at night

Let him figure it out against a team with a crappy offense, not the Caps. We don’t have time to dick around like this or we will get buried deeper.

 

[LOGiK]

With **** making decisions?

I have something to say about this, but I wont for obvious reasons.

I just say sell tickets and let people that want to come in, come the **** in. The place is huge..... spread out.....

Nah let's just go

Yeah best to just move on from Malkin now without trying anything different.

 

[The Old Master]

i dont understand why not? i sent in my letter of recommendation.

For real. What a dud. That cliff sure does come up supernaturally fast, eh?

Though it really isn't that -- he's perfectly fine he just hates the Pittsburgh Penguins and is playing terribly on purpose. He loves to let his team down... it's kind of his thing!

Some people aren't comfortable with the idea that Zucker - while a good player in his own right - may not fit very well with our centers. But that seems a lot more likely to me than "Malkin bad now" after dominating with Guentzel and Rust last year.

Hopefully new management will be able to look at who works and who doesn't here with fresh eyes, without the apron strings that come with paying a 1st rounder and a good prospect for a guy.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Jarry inspires about as much confidence right now as JR with a bunch of assets burning a hole in his pocket on the TDL but, I mean... they have to get some starts in for him.

Plus it's not like this team is doing anything with Evgeni Malkin purposely playing terrible hockey because he's Russian and probably pouting about something or whatever Madden told me to think this week.

 

[Andy99]

Yeah best to just move on from Malkin now without trying anything different.

Yeah just waive him if he won’t accept a trade to Ottawa like JR threatened to do to PH...we are ready for Blueger to move up and Laff is ready to take the next step!
