Post-Game Talk: Pens 4, Blues 1 - Kunitz Inspires Sid

[ncm7772]

Guess I missed the GAF conversation. What Abomination Of Yinzer Stupidity does it stand for?

I can't take credit for it, but there's two that I know of:

1) God Awful Fleury
2) GAF being "Gaff", in a close acronym to MAF.

Fleury and Kunitz both have really good nights and people here losing their minds defending the narrative - for NO reason. Starting to feel sorry for people that are so emotionally invested in seeing Fleury gone they can't simply enjoy a win.

Sid was absolutely spectacular. Great game.

The Blues are dirty as ****.

Hope the team isn't too banged up after these last 2 games. Big wins.

You will see why we are still rattling on about Kunitz when they play a team that isn't hopeless like the Blues. Nobody had an issue when the guy was on the 4th line.

And virtually nobody hates Fleury. The vast majority of us just see the writing on the wall given the expansion draft on top of the fact that a 5 million dollar backup goalie is not worth it. They could get the same production in that role for 1 million. What annoys us is the talking heads and sentimental idiots who can't accept that Fleury is nearing the end of his time in Pittsburgh. What makes MAF so special? This is just how pro sports work.

You should not be talking about agendas in yet another "I'm going to contradict the consensus around here so people will think I'm edgy and cool" post.

Looks like McDavid got a goose egg...(along with everyone else)...in an Edmonton 1-0 shoot out win against Montreal.

That gives Sid technically 4 games in hand, right?

Yep. Malkin as well if back Tuesday.

That's how media changed years and years ago. Shock jock/clicks = more than credibility and good journalism. Definitely not just Pittsburgh. That is just today's media altogether whether it's sports, politics, or anything.

Oh sure. The cities where it tends to hold on a little better are huge cities with a bigger variety of coverage so the competition helps that a bit.

But it's silly to rail against the media without railing against the market that makes it possible, y'know? Like if more sports fans bought great, thoughtful analysis, then there wouldn't be the market pressures to do the dumb **** that the Pittsburgh media does.

But they don't. So, it's just not worth it, if you want to run a business.

Ovechkin without a goal (Carter too but I don't feel he's as big of a threat despite being closer) in WSH's win today too. Pens have two games in hand on the Caps.

2) GAF being "Gaff", in a close acronym to MAF.

I did a search on this forum for the origin. Apparently I can make that claim. And I was going for the "gaffe" route.

I assumed it was Goal Against Fleury, haha.
