I've liked Lapierre in the past. Haven't kept up on him this year, but Goc hasn't done as much as I had hoped.

Pens just got a little harder to play against.

For Lapierre? Ugh.

 

[Asuna]

wow lol. weird trade

 

[Galchenioretty]

He was very good against Pittsburgh in 2010.

 

[Stad]

Is this good or bad? lol

 

[Pancakes]

Feel bad for Goc. He really played his heart out for us.

 

[metalan2]

What...like huh?

I just reported this also on my feed.

Goc>Lapierre...

Is this a fake account?

 

[Al Smith]

Nice move.

 

[Stad]

Is this a fake account?

Nope, it's real lol.

Didn't Goc get healthy scratched a few games ago. I don't think he's fit in that well here. Only two goals in 64 games as a Penguin. I wonder if he went to the Pens and asked to be moved or if the Pens saw the Rinaldo incident and wanted to get tougher. I guess it could be a combination of both.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I liked Goc. Someone tell me how to feel about this.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

Do not like

 

[metalan2]

Kind of pisses me off. Goc is a good player with decent linemates like tonight.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Hard to judge this trade yet but Goc seems like the better player. He's quite capable as a fourth liner but unfortunately had to tow around anvils like Adams and Sill here.

Gonna have to learn to like him. I've always despised him, but I think he can help

 

[IcedCapp]

Lapierre is 54.9% on the draws and has 48 hits in 45 games.

edit:

2 goals and 7 assists, as well

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Lapierre is only 29. I expected him to be a few years older. Honestly kinda forgot about him, too.

 

[Michael8771*]

Another righty.

 

[madinsomniac]

I liked Goc as a defensive player. Id have moved Adams way before him, but Lapierre is a defensive guy with more size and agitates a bit too... Im Ok with this

 

[AgentM]

Nope, it's real lol.

Wow, how out of left field is this? Especially right after a game. Laporte adds some grit and chippiness no?
