Post-Game Talk: Pens/Sabres: A full 60 minutes of great Penguins hockey

[SEALBound]

I am so confused by this post that I just laughed out loud.

I thought this thread was about posting stupid ideas?

Been meaning to IM you about a new avatar...since ya know...Sprong is gone. Dont know if any young has done anything fancy yet...

It's not whether he'll buy in, its whether the rest of the team will stop doing so without The Fear.

I dunno. I think we’re seeing this team look good because we finally have a puck mover on every line and players are buying into their roles.

L2 is the only thing that scares me if we are healthy

Pettersson is more like a trash boner than a fancy boy if we’re going by looks.

And that is the best case and hope. But until we see it in action I am going to worry.

How was Teddy? I see he got an assist.

He’s still learning how to read Kessel and Malkin, so he was just making basic plays with them. Kind of like ZAR he was trying to support them through the NZ and then get to the front of the net. He was doing a lot of heavy lifting in the defensive zone. Like ZAR, always knows his assignments and I feel relaxed when he’s out there in his zone.

Gotta be Rust’s job when he’s back though, assuming Rust can make those creative plays he’s been displaying this year.

I don't understand this narrative where apparently the team thinks Letang is some defensive wizard and they have to do nothing but when he's gone they now realize they have to help out. I've never seen spinning like this for a Pittsburgh player.

I think it's more that Letang's at his best in using his superior talent to defend, and not always within a structured system.

I love Letang but he won't be easy to re-integrate. See: 2017-2018.

Sadly, I agree because he tried to be more defensive in last year playoffs and we saw how that went. Then basically said in the off-season screw that and I'm going to play my game.

He’s sworn off monocles due to them being something his father wears.

Yeah, I think both ZAR and Teddy should be playing with Cullen. The type of habits he’s been able to impart to our young players the past couple years are sooo helpful. Teddy and Bjugstad as full time 3C and 4C next year would be great.

Jack Johnson looks like the kind of guy that knocked up a white trash girl after his senior night football game in high school.

When working with a genius artist, simply let the artist decide.

Give this avatar's record for driving players away from the org, I'm very much in favour of this motion.

...I never thought of that...but youre right. Lord know youre not right very often...but when you do get a hit, its out of the park.

Agreed. If anything, I'm worried that guys are gonna see Tanger in the lineup and ease up on their responsibilities. It's pretty apparent, based on our play recently, that the long stretches of bad play over the past couple of years--particularly defensively, both from forwards as well as defensemen--can be attributed to a simple lack of work ethic and laziness. If guys keep playing this way while we swap Letang in for Trotman, I think we're in great shape. If they fall back on their old ways defensively-speaking, assuming Tanger's back and they can let him and Dumo do all the work for 25 minutes a night, we're in trouble again.

We seem to be be a lot more defensively minded without Letang.
