GDT: Game #72 | Blues @ Penguins | 3.16 @ 1:00 EST

[66-30-33]

Is Malkin not playing today? I don't see him with a point.

Naw, no points.

Jake - Crosby, McCann
Sid - Kessel
Kessel - Sid
McCann - Jake, Dumo

 

[Shady Machine]

Yeah.

The reason they are being cautious is because they are winning.

If the Pens weren't winning they wouldn't be cautious.

Sure but thats different than saying Sully doesn’t want to mess with a winning lineup so he keeps a Norris caliber Dman out of lineup so Trotman can keep plodding around out there.

 

[Bingo71]

To have any hope of winning the Metro, they need 4 points this weekend.

 

[BillPrep]

Poll winning combo: waffles+nutella

I submit: cheesecake, with a waffle crust and nutella topping drizzled over...

 

[ColePens]

@BHD that story, btw, is quite scary

 

[SouthGeorge]

I'm 99.99% positive that Rust and Letang are not playing today solely because Sullivan doesn't want to mess with a working lineup. It's dumb because Trotman is bad, but I really believe they aren't playing just because they're on a good run right now.

Better team. It's a team game. 7-1-1.

 

[66-30-33]

Yeah, we need these points. If Pens win both games, Caps lose in reg, Isles lose both in reg then we are tied for first in division and are 2nd in the metro.

Which one?

 

[Ogrezilla]

@ColePens you'll be proud of me. I was starting to type up a response or two, but instead I'm finally going to start using the ignore user option.

Test.

He’s being honored today...that means he’s gonna try too hard and not get a point...

You are officially HF Member of the Day. Ignore the negativity!!

And @BHD - the berube/flyers comparison. Jesus is that identical.

He's working for that top 100, if he gets a point he's top 100 but if he gets 0 points he's out. Because he's not a top 100 player right now he's not getting a point so he's out. Back to Russia you go Geno!

Toews is top 100
745 points in 861 games...under a point a game in his career.

Geno is not top 100
1001 points in 849 games (waaaay more points less games) over a point a game in his career.

Malkin is 88th all time in points...not top 100 player!
Toews is ranked 204th all time. Somehow his overrated intangables make up the difference.

 

[Son Goku]

Haven't slept yet and don't intend to. Damn you afternoon games.

 

[madinsomniac]

No way Sully would keep Rust and Letang out of lineup just because they’ve been winning. I think it’s more out of abundance of caution.

Yeah im fine with that if its the case... this org surely has learned its lesson about rushing guys back by now

What’s Geno’s intangibles ranking though???

 

[66-30-33]

What’s Geno’s intangibles ranking though???

He's Russian, he only has pouting all the way back to Russia.

See ya at game time, going to play some Assasins Creed.

 

[EightyOne]

What’s Geno’s intangibles ranking though???

Int% x 7.1

 

[BHD]

Disappointed with the lack of votes for fudge.

 

[ColePens]

Just threw one down for peanut butter. #f***icecream #icecreamisoverrated

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I miss Letang

Please come back sweet prince.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Disappointed with the lack of votes for fudge.

didn't realize you could vote for more than 1. Fixed.

Intangible bonuses are reserved for North American players... don’t you pay attention to Mr Don Cherry?

Oh yeah, that. I was referring to when the Blues did it during the 2008-09 season under Andy Murray. But yeah, Berube did it with the Flyers that season. Either way, it's weird.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

bought my charity bag for the 5th year or so in a row. Hoping for a jersey this time!
