GDT: Game 51|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers|Welcome back! Hope we knock the RUST off quick!

[Speaking Moistly]

Well, what the **** is he going to say?

"I'm screwed"

"I'm doing the best I can to make sure Sid and Geno don't lose their minds"

“These are the only ones who aren’t day to day. Yet!”

 

[KIRK]

I just hope the boys are not as flat as the last time we played. That was... eewww.

Not sure what was freakier . . . Horny showering their goalie, getting shoved around after the whistle, and skating away, or Geno getting hit by three guys, the last one pretty late, and skating away.

EDIT: Or you lactating right now.

How are you scratching Riikola? Just trade him at this point... he has value and will play for another team.

When you put in the team sheet you leave his name off.

Fun fact: Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux might be French-Canadians, but they are not Québécois, I am allowed to hate them.

You could certainly do a lot worse for a bottom pairing guy in this league.

On 1 hand.. Riiko didn't really do the most to keep a spot and never look back. But that being said and hell bent they were at one point on R/L pairings... Riiko over Ruh is what i would do.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I didn’t realize we called up Angello! I have been high on him the last few years.

Thats a good excuse

 

[Ugene Magic]

Have we requested for this thread to be made live?

 

[PhilThrillPill]

[Scandale du Jour]

Fun fact 2: I have missed the humor of our GDTs.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Pens hire NIN for this intro?

 

[wheelz87]

The hell we doing in the whites

 

[canadianguy77]

Im guessing they only want 1 guy who can skate the puck out on each pairing. For what reason? I havent a clue.

 

[Andy99]

Why are they wearing their road jerseys?

 

[LOGiK]

I think Sully wants Ruh in there for his PKing...

[KIRK]

Yeah, you're 100% right and that's why it kills me a bit that the only guy (Rust) is being pushed to his off-wing, where he has definitely looked not as comfortable in the past - maybe that's changed, but I don't know why we'd test it with how well he and Geno have played together.

Since we know that Tanev line is never being broken up, I would almost rather throw Angello to the fire and stick him with Sid and Simon than what they're running tonight. I could be wrong, I don't get to follow WBS much, but I think Angello can skate and be tenacious, so I feel like that style in and of itself is Sid-preferred, even if he might be over his head.

But to your point about matchup specific, I think this all but highlights immensely to JR that a move or two need to be made to upgrade the top 6 with Jake out.

Two.

A top 6 wing and then a wing who can play up and down the lineup and cycle in with McCann, Horny, Simon, and Kahun as an matchup specific option for Sid or Geno in the top 6.

When in doubt, always blame marketing.

I think how devoted they were to handedness was overstated and used as a bit of a scapegoat, tbh.

 

[LOGiK]

Maybe Angello lost his 'home' jersey in wilkes-barre.
Oh... thats DeSmith... always losing things.

 

[KIRK]

Let’s go Pens!!!

 

[Jacob]

Da f*** do we have to do with Kobe Bryant?

 

[Tom Hanks]
