GDT: | Game #LXIV | Pens vs Jackets | 1900hrs EST | Start of the ZARless era

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Laine is like the least impressive player I've ever seen, but now and then he rips off a goal that makes me go "Oh yeah, that's right, he can be a f***ing juggernaut if he wanted to but he's too into Fortnite."

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Someone is going to give him way too much many for way too many years and regret it like 6 months later.

I would hope he stays for term. I really don't want to see Rust leave. I know massive bias and all but I think we need him..

 

[Darren McCord]

Zohorna is what Sully wanted ZAR to be. I think he will get even better too. Maybe not a top 6 player but should be a solid bottom 6 guy.

 

[tom_servo]

He works on both lines in the top 6

We better have a pretty solid backup if we dont sign him.

Can score up front on the powerplay and his secret weapon................the shootout goal.

SIGN RUSTY

We developed Rust in house therefore he is not worth a payday.

 

[ncm7772]

Real solid effort tonight so far.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Blues taking it to the Craps. Haha

Devils all over the Rags too, 6-3.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Devils and Blues doing us a huge solid tonight. Huge.

Devils all over the Rags too, 6-3.

Which I mean, is super surprising with a "ridonkulus" bottom 6 and all....

Letang's nonchalant reaction to that shot lol.

I love the player, but someone is going to give him JVR money.

I don't remember them using him a ton there, but you might be right.

I do recall that Malkin had a reputation as being a very good defensive player coming out of Russia. And I actually think that his defensive play in the 09 cup win vs Detroit was insanely good. especially in game 7, he was a takeaway and backchecking machine.

When he wanted to play defense, he was Datsyukian at it.

He had quite a few shorthanded goals. There was one cross ice aerial pass on the PK in his first couple years that he knocked out of midair. His anticipation and reach have always been exceptional, it's why he takes the puck away so consistently. He was compared to Ron Francis in his draft year. He would have been great there but after Therrien left, Bylsma almost never used him on the PK. He hasn't really done it since, a few times.

Colombus legend Jeff Carter

The only team he requested to get the f*** out of asap. Lol. I don't blame him. He was pissed to be there.

Sid is currently 17th in points per game.
Old man still getting it done.

A few posters here said both Geno and Crosby weren't top C's anymore.

Old men who are generational talent are still better than 85% of players in the NHL.

Yes they slow down with age but they are still extremely talented. Ill take a 35 year old who is/was elite over a 25 year old good NHLer. Generational talent just ages better.

Watch your mouth Bob!

I love the player, but someone is going to give him JVR money.

I hope they move Zucker and use the cap to give Rust 5m/yr for 5yrs. Which is like what 1.3-1.4m raise? But it locks him in into retirement age.

 

[tom_servo]

Devils all over the Rags too, 6-3.

7-3.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Real solid effort tonight so far.

Might wanna check 58s performance ha

 

[Sideline]

I hope they move Zucker and use the cap to give Rust 5m/yr for 5yrs.

If it was 5x5 I'd have signed him yesterday and worried about the cap tomorrow.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I hope they move Zucker and use the cap to give Rust 5m/yr for 5yrs.

Hes not getting 5 anymore.

Probably could convince a 6x6

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

C’mon Malkin

 

[K Fleur]

I hope they move Zucker and use the cap to give Rust 5m/yr for 5yrs.

In your dreams man. Rust is getting like 7.5m per atleast

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

2 minutes for going shoulder to shoulder with somebody during a puck battle?
