Jake out for 4-6 months. Oh boy

[Kristopher Letang]

Speechless.

 

[ColePens]

I seriously wanna die. That is so freaking unlucky.

Exaggeration aside. That really is sad. I hope Jake can come back in the late playoffs and we pull a Chicago Blackhawks and end up w/ a huge overpaid team w/ IR money.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Came here to express my sympathies, pens are my second team, and I thought the Blues were having a lot of injuries to key players, but what you guys are going through is just insane

 

[deepelemblues]

did he shove him?

I thought he did but I was wrong all he did was put his stick into Jake's right ankle. At the least he could have swung his stick away he just kept it sticking out there right in front of Jake's legs down low. Jake was off balance but he didnt completely lose it until Chabots stick hit his ankle so still upstanding play from Chabot there

 

[tfong]

I feel for you guys.

 

[Coastal Kev]

A little dude with the heart of a lion playing a big mans game, all the while making very big men in the game very salty.

It was destined to happen.

Can't say Chabot intentionally hurt Jake, but it was completely wreckless. He saw Jake was watching the puck and skated super wide with skates apart in a freakish manner directly into Jake's path. Ottawa played in that manner all night, you knew or could feel from the drop of the puck someone was getting injured.

 

[Beauner]

I wonder if this is similar to Gonchar in 09. He was out 5 months.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

did he shove him?

No. More of a weird trip and collision. I actually don’t think it was intentional like “f*** this guy. I’m wrecking him,” but Chabot was a f***er all game and I think it was a f*** you thing.

 

[madinsomniac]

Injured scoring a goal... at least he went out in a blaze of glory


2019 can eat a **** .... screw this year... i always joke about the injury jinx but this year its real... a series of totally flukey injuries...

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Can a Mod embed an arrangement of sad songs to start playing whenever we click on the Penguins board?

*stands meekly in the corner and sings some indie rock*

This plane is definitely crashing
This boat is obviously sinking
This building's totally burning down
And my, and my (a whole bunch)
And my heart has slowly dried up

 

[Human]

f*** this. They need to turn the next Sens game into a gong show. Go after Chabot every time they have a chance. The Sens were reckless all night and the refs didn’t help...

 

[Tom Hanks]

That’s gonna sting. We’ll see how far this “lose a player, replace a player” mentality can stretch.

 

[ColePens]

This season is basically a write off. So many injuries that you can't judge

We won a Cup w/o Letang when Letang was damn near irreplaceable on every single level. We can make this happen. It won't be easy and we are going to need a lot of luck. Part of that luck is Jake healing fast and pulling a GWG in the Cup Finals for good measure.

Let's go. We've seen darker days. Let's go.

 

[Ludwig120]

Like why just why Why do the penguins always get so injured can’t we have a nice injury free season for once

 

[JTG]

What a complete kick in the balls. We will never see this team fully healthy stocked with all of its stars.

Here is to hoping the Pens get to round 2 and Jake can play. The scary thing for me is there is a long line of really productive players and shoulder injuries are where their career turned and they became players that were not as productive. I hope he can come back and be the same old Jake - preferably in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Bingo. One door closes then another opens.

Alex Galchenyuk - now is your time.

 

[tom_servo]

Worst case scenario. Ouch.

 

[Ogrezilla]

**** this. They need to turn the next Sens game into a gong show. Go after Chabot every time they have a chance. The Sens were reckless all night and the refs didn’t help...

I'm sure that will help.

Don't ever do that again.

Thank you.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Well. f***.

This season is such shit.

 

[PensPlz]

I remember Patrick Kane in 2015 going down. Estimated 12 weeks. Would miss the playoffs. Blackhawks went on a spending spree at the deadline without Kane's cap hit. Then Kane made a miraculous recovery for the playoff's game 1... where there is no cap. 12 weeks turned into 3 real fast. They won the cup that year with a team that was 10 million over the cap.

Get better, Jake.

That is the "positive." The Pens have an insane amount of cap space now.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Who can watch this team for the last 3 months and say “it’s over.” I mean, have you been paying attention? It’s a big loss but with an add at the deadline and Crosby coming back, we can survive.

Big FU to the hockey gods for breaking up the line when the arguments were starting to really get good.

Meekly screaming Modest Mouse in the corner. what a juxtaposition. Sounds like a great idea to me.

 

[ImporterExporter]

We're winning the 2020 Stanley Cup championship.

With or without Jake.

Book it.
