Series Talk: Pens vs. Habs - Episode 4

[66-30-33]

The Penguins have 3 of the 4 top active playoff goal scorers.

Let's hope we don't get swept again...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Let's hope we don't get swept again...

By... Montreal...

TBH, Poulin kinda has to make the team next year.

He'd waste his time in the Q. He was near 2PPG this year. Playing in the WJC would be nice... but again, if he is doing well in the NHL, no way we would send him. And if he is struggling and you send him then send him down to Sherbrooke... he would waste his time.

Starting in the AHL and earning his way up would be the best scenario... but dumb ass rules prevent it.

I’m not going to say he has to but I do wonder if he’d just be spinning his wheels in another season in juniors. Maybe he doesn’t and it wouldn’t kill him if he did, but it would be annoying.

Screw those rules. They need to be able to make an exception for some players.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Varone ahead of Poulin is just pure idiocy.

I demand obscure regional French-Canadian obscenities.

 

[Shockmaster]

Is the one Habs player wearing a Burfict jersey just to troll Pittsburgh?

 

[PensandCaps]

Varone has a ton of pro experience. I'd trust him way more than Poulin at the moment if we had injuries in the bottom 6.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Is the one Habs player wearing a Burfict jersey just to troll Pittsburgh?

Couldn't make it out, the 18 pro sports championship banners for the city of Pittsburgh are in my way. Who cares want a little piss ant nobody who never beat anyone or won anything is wearing.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Is the one Habs player wearing a Burfict jersey just to troll Pittsburgh?

That would be idiot Brendan Gallagher. Not the smartest tool in the shed off the ice.

He's a legitimate Cincinatti Bengals fan though. So might not be a troll, just a poor taste in team and player.

By... Montreal...

Let's hope we don't get swept again...

Pls no

I thought it was pretty funny

Starting in the AHL and earning his way up would be the best scenario... but dumb ass rules prevent it.

Would be cool if they could offer an exception to this rule. Something like:

Only one prospect per NHL franchise per season can forgo their overage year in the CHL in order to play in the AHL.

This may be the only series where the majority of fans for both teams are rooting for the same team to win.

Should we tank for Lafreniere?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Should we tank for Lafreniere?

I said before.

I don't even have to get that far.

I am really torn over whether winning or losing this series would provide me with the most entertainment value.

Boy how f***ing true,eh?

Even a committee deciding or the team having to pay a fee. Personally, I’d start the ELC as soon as a CHL player goes into the AHL early, it would be a deterrent from abuse.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

f*** it. Just lose, this season has been ass anyways and we'll have chance to draft lafreniere to set up for the future.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

You know, you strike me as a glass half-full kinda guy.

 

[The Old Master]

You know, you strike me as a glass half-full kinda guy.

but it could be a very big glass.
