Marchand and McAvoy's hugs are always so genuine and seem to be special. Thanks for all the pics, love them!

It was a special weekend for Brad

My condolences to Brad and his family, it must be hard when being on the road so much and not being able to get home right away.

That probably explains what people were saying about him at the end of the Toronto game, when he went off the ice with his glove over his face. You can only hold those emotions in for so long. Now a hat trick for his Grandma.

A vintage Marchand is doomsday for the rest of the league

Whenever I saw him play for the Penguins I never thought he looked like he was coasting, but true-enough to the common perception of him, he didn't particularly stand out either. Don't know if he got complacent or was simply unlucky to fall by the wayside with Pittsburgh and any other suitors, but he's been mostly excellent for the Bs.

Very good first season with Pit but they had cap issues and Heinen had arbitration rights and was rumored to want $3M per, so Pjt let him go into free agency. Good deal for them because they signed him for around $1M as a free agent.

Second season there he started petering out second half of the season and got on Sullivan's bad side so he started getting scratched. He supposedly wasn't fully healthy either. He wasn't resigned for a third season because of those tbings

Hopefully he can put together a good full season this time around like he did in his first one in Pit.

Yeah I thought his first season with the Pens was really solid, capped by a respectable playoff showing. One of the other things that strikes me at the moment is he looks really happy. Not that he seemed miserable anywhere else, but being in Boston seems to suit him and he's having a good time and that likely translates into his play. He's enjoying the challenge and the contest.

Hope everyone has emerged safely and in good health.

RIP Myles Goodwyn...

I had been listening to April Wine on the weekend, then I just heard about it today. Don't worry, I won't listen to anyone else now!

That was a painless migration.

 

[NDiesel]

Here's hoping any of my questionable posts/predictions were lost in the migration

 

[Bruinfanatic]

We migrated to where? Brad was something else last night wasn’t he sorry to hear about his grandmother,I guess he was playing for her.

 

[hrdpuk]

JVR and Heinen Both players for under $2,000,000 a year

JVR 23 games 5g-11a-16p +3
Heinen 16 games 3g-5a -8p +6 and he's doing a lot that doesn't show up on the stats.

That's money well spent. Sweeney is doing OK

 

[sooshii]

No wonder he was so emotional

 

[DGS]

Happy to see the skipper shining in the spotlight these last two third periods. Despite the sad events happening in real life, you can see Brad eats up the big moments, and this will help propel the team I think.

Also, while he is still obviously young and learning the ropes, Poitras's ability to find space with the puck and see the ice around him is just damn impressive. Playing this full year in the show (on a good team) is going to be invaluable for him to learn how to be a pro. and will pay big dividends IMO.

If any of us actually had a clue what we were talking about, we would have a job in scouting

One of us does.

 

[DaBroons]

As 'rat-like' as Linseman was, I don't remember Linseman ever licking another player's face.


Marchy would have loved playing in the 80's.

Marchy could have played in any era, IMO. How about Marchand, Sanderson, Westfall?

Well, I once said that Ryan Leaf would be a better NFL QB than Peyton Manning. Oops!

OTOH, after seeing PSG play live in 2017, I said that Mbappe would be the best player in the world in 5 years. At the WC, he was no worse than even with Leo.

Cashman didn't fight a lot? It was a long time ago but not how I remember it. Remember this:

I said a lot, he might have fought 4 or 5 times a year. He was very good at it.

 

[goldnblack]

Who was saying Marchy shouldn't be captain?

Man I dunno. He looks the part to me.
