Post-Game Talk: Pens vs. Jets: Pens w/o 8 of their dmen from last year.... wait?!

[Gurglesons]

Irrelevant to the discussion.

I just think it’s funny to see us come full circle. Kunitz and Dupuis were consistent pain points because they weren’t skilled enough, the team finally forcefeeds a Bennett type in Simon into the Crosby line and we want Tanev there.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

He’s also fumbled multiple chances. If Rust isn’t in his place when healthy I’ll be pissed. It’s pretty clear Tanev is what this org wants ZAR to be and they should put him where he belongs instead of trying to force him in the top six.

So he's Simon, but with more speed and worse analytics.

 

[Human]

JR f***ed up so bad the Pens aren't going to make the playoffs this year. Too many moves, too many stupid contracts shuffled around, too many shitty contracts for crappy players. These GMs just like coaches have a shelf life. JR is way past his with the Pens...

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It's always darkest before the dawn . . . or something.

We're hoping for Christian Bales' Batman, but instead JR will give us George Clooney and his nipple suit.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I think we can all agree that Kahun needs to wake up asap or Lafferty will put him out on the street.

Lol. See above.

Also, not sure what analytics show Tanev being better than Simon..? GF%?

I think I’d honestly split Sid and Jake with the injuries.

Galchenyuk - Sid - Simon
Guentzel - McCann - Kahun
Simon - Teddy - Tanev
Johnson - Lafferty - ZAR

 

[Gurglesons]

Also, Letang and Dumo’s statistics are actually surprising good for how bad they have been.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

What? Re-read what I wrote. "more speed and worse analytics".

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Galchenyuk - Sid - Simon
Guentzel - McCann - Kahun
Simon - Teddy - Tanev
Johnson - Lafferty - ZAR

I think that could work but two Simons might drive some people here nuts.

 

[EightyOne]

Just woke up to the score.


HAHAHA


HAHAHA

No words.

f*** off, pens.

Forwards: can't score
Defense: can't defend
Goalie: possible $8mil contract, yeah, no
Coach: lost all passion
GM: out to lunch

I thought they had turned the corner after game one. Nope. They only abused a goalie who was stumbling in game two. Tonight..Tonight is what this team is.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Marino played 10:30 and was the only D that wasn't a minus. Also the only one with a takeaway.

I'll take it.

Silver lining: at least they weren't shut out.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I don't like Kahun.
I don't like Simon.
I really don't like ZAR.

That's an entire line's worth of suck.

I'd prefer to try Bjorkvist, Blandisi, Di Pauli, A Johnson, or Palve than those three.

Rid this team of the slow vanilla guys.

Try guys who are known to have speed, or who may be hungry.

Simon's like that one friend who is decent looking, charming enough, and has a good opening line to be able to approach a woman and chat with her. But then when it's time for him to seal the deal and get the woman's phone number, he pees himself right in front of her.

You have weird friends.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

wrong thread

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

You have weird friends.

I like to surround myself with people who make me look more appealing in comparison.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

The only way to fix this team is to have them lose a ton through Christmas, be a bottom-3 team, and have Mario fire everybody in a front office or coaching position. That's the only way we'll ever take steps toward competing again before Geno and Tanger are done.

Tanger has looked pretty ****ing done to me this year so far. Guess he wants to reclaim his mantle as most polarizing Penguin now that Phil is gone.

I don't think he's done physically, but he looks completely lost. This blueline can't afford its best player playing anything less than spectacular hockey. Hell, this team can't afford Letang playing below his capability.

I've never questioned his physicality, other than perhaps durability. Letang's restrictor plate has always been the soft tissue between his ears.

People seem to really mean it this year.

Also every year.
