Thanks!

Pens are marginally lucky they get Malkin at all tomorrow. He probably should be suspended

I dunno. It was stupid especially considering the circumstances but I don't think it was suspension worthy. Even with his history of being a moron.
I dunno, I'd be a little more willing to cut him some slack if he didn't elbow Guentzel right at the start of the game lol.
I don't think Trouba set out to hurt Crosby, but he absolutely set out to play him really hard. And that's fine and all, but Trouba crossed the line several times last night and even if you're not intentionally trying to brain other players you still have to be responsible for your own actions.
That said, doesn't really matter does it? Crosby is gone, and the Rangers would gladly trade Trouba for him. That they don't have to is even better for them.
Pens gotta refocus and find a way.

I was talking about Malkin.
Trouba for sure "deserves" something. But this is the NHL so I expected absolutely nothing and that's what we got.
Although I suppose Malkin tried to take out Jake, too lol

Geno probably could've sat a game. The issue isn't that Geno gets docked for being a dipshit with his stick, the issue is that other guys aren't docked for being dipshits with their stick. Or, in Trouba's case, his elbow.
Sorry, I totally spaced out reading the thread. This series is imprinted on my brain in the worst way right now and I'm just looking forward to it being over one way or the other lol.
Tomorrow can't come fast enough.

Well sure in a GOOD league guys get a game for getting their stick up high like Malkin did there.
But this league is run by troglodytes so I'm not going to fret over something so minor in comparison.
Oh certainly no apology necessary. I know exactly what you mean.

I don’t think it’s suspension worthy in a vacuum. He just sat for using his stick as a weapon. He’s gotta stop.

Imagine if Geno got docked a game with Sid out due to a concussion. Christ, Madden would need a bypass.

No argument here. Dude is nearly 36 and has been around. This is just extremely low IQ shit for no reason.
I like Zohorna and I believe he's fully capable of being a solid fulltime NHL-er, but if you stacked him on top of Boyle what you'd have is over 13 feet and 400+ pounds of vanilla marshmallow. Not that anyone could really think Zoho was brought up to be any kind of physical presence anyway.

Best case scenario, we're up 6-0 with 2 minutes left. Sullivan discovers a hint of masculinity, and sends Boyle out to break Trouba's jaw with his stick. Instead of golfing, Trouba spends the next 6 weeks eating from a straw, and Boyle gets suspended for the next series.

That would be the ultimate kick in the nuts for Pens fans. Trouba gets nothing for braining Crosby, but Malkin sits because stuff.

Sounds like an easy Sullivan win.
I’d prefer to see someone wave goodbye to them.

Just run Igor a few times like he's a legislative aide in Albany.
Or are we still doing the dumb Penguins "we need to be exemplary members of society" bit? I lost my script, can some one feed me the cue line? Thnx.

The article in globe and mail by Cathal Kelly had a good quip about what Trouba did.
The fact that department of player safety saw that and I have deemed the recklessness was ok because it was an "accident" vs a follow through on a shot clipping being an accident that is a penalty for example is ok.

I'm ok just seeing another 6 on that Shitstreakin and chants to mind f*** him off to golf.

Honestly the worst part of DoPS is that it's just so stupidly inconsistent and cowardly. If you want to be troglodyte, be a troglodyte, so at least the skill players know what to expect. Playing coy for the suburbs and winking at Don Cherry fans just makes it worse for everyone.
Also, if you love unsatisfactory sex, move to NYC, but that goes without saying.

As long as Sully's the coach we will continue to be the moral authority pacifists of the league. Hopefully this new management group sits him down after the season and tells him point blank, 'we're bringing in some guys with size and snarl. If you don't want to coach them, we'll write you a letter of recommendation to take to Phoenix or Ottawa'
