It's the curse. ....

Whatever plan JR had regarding wingers, he has to speed the process up.

This team can't have nice things.

as much as I would love to see something happen, now is not the time to panic. imo

[Tasty Biscuits]

Damn that picture.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

How sad and frustrating is it that Adams just tied the franchise ironman streak in a game where the Pens lost their last top six winger and once again are a traveling morgue.

It's like someone is ****ing with us....

 

[Son Goku]

Woohoo

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Doesn't look good for Horny.

 

[ProgOg]

Ugh.

Agreed. As DK wrote this morning, they're committed to not making a panic move. Rutherford wants to get a long-term top 6 solution, not a band-aid, and is sticking to it regardless of whether the team is healthy of not.

 

[Will Hunting]

That´s exactly how Shero feels now regarding this mess, imo. Seriously.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Is Rust even remotely NHL material?

 

[IcedCapp]

Is Rust even NHL material?

if the N stands for NO, then yes

 

[Iffyiffiffer]

Is Rust even remotely NHL material?

No, but what relevance does that have to penguins winger strategy?

 

[Will Hunting]

Spaling-Crosby-Downie
Megna-Malkin-Comeau
Ebbett-Sutter-Rust
Sill-Goc-Adams

Awesome center depth.

No wingers needed.

Wow... that really put it into perspective. Sadly this injury curse is insane. When I was praying to the hockey gods in 2009... I wasn't serious about taking on a curse! I was just saying that so we could win in 2009....

But check dat defense yo!!

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Why are people ******** on Rust? I bet they haven't even seen him play.

 

[IcedCapp]

if IcedCapp ran the team:

Malkin - Sutter - Comeau (relax about who is at C)
Crosby - Goc - Megna (see? I don't care who plays C)
Rust/Ebbett - Spaling - Downie
Sill - Adams - Ebbett/Rust

 

[ProgOg]

Spaling-Crosby-Downie

Seriously, that is 4 AHL guys, 1 should-be-retired guy, and 3 solid bottom 6 guys.

Yeah, because JR doesn't have a reputation for making terrible trades or anything.

People sweat these bumps in the road in DECEMBER way too hard.

Not to say we don't need a winger, because obviously we do. I'd just like it not to be a Jordan Staal-esque trade, thanks.

 

[WVP]

Gotta put Crosby and Malkin together at this point.

Spaling - Crosby - Malkin
Downie - Sutter - Megna
whatever
whatever

 

[Randy Butternubs]

And besides, he'll just get hurt in his first game. Just like Wilson.
