Post-Game Talk: Penguins 6, Avalanche 3 - A Hattrick of Almost Goals for ZAR (And Actual Goals for Horny)

[Andy99]

I hope one of the many scouts in attendance fell in love with ZAR.

Please, God, help us out here.

He’s the new Kuhn and Rowney rolled into one...and that makes him damn near untradeable....

 

[dogthateats]

I guess Horny is happy to have another Swede on the team again.

Please, God, help us out here.

I can't imagine there's a scout in hockey who possibly could love ZAR more than the Penguins organization does.

 

[KIRK]

Isn't that kinda like saying water is wet?

Yes, but sometimes we need to be reminded.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

He’s the new Kuhn and Rowney rolled into one...and that makes him damn near untradeable....

Rowney and Kuhn's new contracts say that that is false.

Unless you meant untouchable.

 

[Gurglesons]

JJ doesn’t suck. At least not until January 1st @pixiesfanyo

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I have. They are still not good.

You for real? .921 last year. North of .922 now.

What would you like him to do more? He's only surrendered over 3 goals once in his 13 starts. He gives us a chance to win night in, night out.

Meanwhile Murray allowed 4+ in 7 of his 11 starts.

 

[Gurglesons]

Honesty, the funny part about ZAR is he is producing on the same level as Sprong and he lamented. Obviously getting insane ice time, but once again I think that is because he literally is so slow he can’t off the ice.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

First of all, you miserable curmudgeon, thread titles are my turf. Second of all, tonight's thread title is an homage to @ColePens, and frankly I'm offended that you would rain on his parade in this way.

EDIT: Offender, but mind you not surprised.

Curmudgeon?

How old are you? I thought that I was old.

I thought that they stopped using words like that back when Dicken's was writing his cheery novels in weekly form in the papers.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I can't imagine there's a scout in hockey who possibly could love ZAR more than the Penguins organization does.

There's always someone who does.

 

[Jacob]

I liked Pettersson’s shot blocking.

Skating-wise he can make some right turns for a big guy.

 

[dogthateats]

 

[Ryder71]

Yes, but sometimes we need to be reminded.

In all seriousness I don't like only having one D man who's a righty. We have enough problems in our end. I don't like the fact that our 2hd and 3rd pairings on the right side are constantly on their back hand.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I hope one of the many scouts in attendance fell in love with ZAR.

Please, God, help us out here.

One did. Two in fact.

Unfortunately their initials are BG and JR.

Hey, just because I bought my wooden dentures the same time as George Washington doesn't give you the right to mock my age . . .

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Did Pettersson play?

13+ mins I believe, yes. He was decent. I see the weaknesses to his game that Ducks fans were talking about though.

 

[KIRK]

So . . . anyone else like the Maatta-Oleksiak pairing as much as I do?

 

[vodeni]

jay with a corporate vomit on Sprong, just shut up will you

 

[JRS91]

Meanwhile Murray allowed 4+ in 7 of his 11 starts.

He adds value in other areas.

I know people are low on Aston-Reese right now, but he kills penalties and isn't awful defensively. He needs to work on his defense, but he's far from being as bad as Sprong. He's also more productive with lesser linemates.

 

[Ryder71]

One did. Two in fact.

Unfortunately their initials are BG and JR.

I just hope those initials indicate a very remarkable coincidence.

 

[vodeni]

So . . . anyone else like the Maatta-Oleksiak pairing as much as I do?

I understand this waiver thing, but I thought that they are all about winning games, just as Riikola was getting in the groove, they put this abooration of a pair together

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Hey, just because I bought my wooden dentures the same time as George Washington doesn't give you the right to mock my age . . .

Please tell me how lit GW and the continental army were when fighting the Brits.

 

[KIRK]

Weird, we score 6 goals and one 3 Penguins have multi-point games.

 

[Turin]

Hornqvist still doesn’t seem “good” at hockey he’s just a superior human being who started to do the hockey thing. Pure will. Who scores on a knuckling slapper down the wing? Only Hornqvist.

 

[treeni12]

BTW people we can all agree and disagree about many things around here, but if there's one thing that should unite all of us, it is the universal hockey law that Jack Johnson, Jamie Oleksiak, and Olli Maatta ALL ******* SUCK.

as crazy as it may sound I would take Määttä over those two. Oleksiak's and Johnson's hockey IQ are lowest in the league

 

[Pancakes]

Horny is worth every penny. Every single one.
