Yeah, if the cap goes up, I'm fine with like 5x4 or something, but anything larger would be a really worrisome contract.

I like Jarry and I think he's a # 1, but he's just too inconsistent and gets thrown off very easily.



I mean, you can yell at them but when you gift Carter and Dumoulin substantial minutes when they are bleeding goals against why does anyone give a shit?

I still don't understand Carter's usage and role. It's like they promised Carter he'd be used like he's our Patrice Bergeron in order for him to not retire and now they're stuck keeping that promise.

Who is the 4C then?

Knowing Bruce, wouldn’t be surprised to see the Canucks start rolling teams after tonight.
Zohorna? That’s a good point, though. I guess I’d go McGinn on third line LW and Poulin 4C.

One of Poehling/Poulin should be spot duty in the top-6, the other 4C.

One team was poorly coached and the other team was the Canucks.

This game was shit and I resent the client that asked me to come with him to the game when I specifically sold my tickets to avoid this shit show.

Really? Has to be a joke. You’re more even keel than that right?
I embellished the reason why. As you know, I take my son to western Pens games whenever possible, Cali trips are always awesome, win or lose, and games in Vegas and Edmonton are just fun. AZ may be an option this year, just to see ASU's barn. But now that I've invested in Kraken STs, I just don't enjoy seeing my #1 team play against my new #2 team. I wore Kraken Tanev#13 last year, son had the Pens #13 jersey, but it just didn't feel right. Call me a sentimental POS, probably not inaccurate, but I'd rather someone with a pure interest in the game enjoy it. And it's gonna be sunny tomorrow and they've extended Dungeness crab season, and winter is coming, so there's that.

Gotta get that crab while it’s still around!

I gave my Pens/Kraken tickets tomorrow to a worthy cause. Why f*** up a perfectly nice Saturday?
When you have a coach that has the power Sully does, expecting any sort of meaningful change is just a fools errand.

Drake Caggiula as a call up?

Carter and Heinen with Malkin? He effectively took a giant steaming shit on every single line and will somehow think the team f***ed it and not him.

I love how much you hate him and also how much truth is buried in your over the top posts.

That being said, we are staying competitive.

It's a good thing part of a coach's job isn't to motivate and prepare his team to play 60 minutes otherwise we'd be in a lot of trouble with that extension.
Yeah, we'd really be screwed then!

Also Carter is bad and should feel bad about how bad he is. f*** you Jeff, you're not my real dad. My real dad sucks way less than your old ass.

Also troubling is that we're not only losing, but losing big. 5 goals for on this road trip while surrendering 15 against in 3 games.

Any sort of semblance of structure/defensive play has evaporated along with our offense.

It’s really special teams that is absolutely slaughtering us.

Feel like we should fire Velluci and get a special teams specialist because Reirden at least has a track record over a decade at making defensemen turn a corner.

There is zero reason to think this team is going to compete for anything meaningful this year. Just an abysmal effort after two straight abysmal efforts. Not good.
