[Winger for Hire]

I went to Diesel for a Finger Eleven concert/Lingerie show (don't judge me, I was dragged to it)... which just happened to be Pens v Leafs, which had more viewers at the bar than the actual concert.

It was a quite the game, Ron Petrovicky ended Kris Newbury's life and Jordy notched his hat trick with the game winner in OT. The only thing I remember from the concert was Finger Eleven stopped playing to make a quip about the game and we booed them for being Leafs fans. I also booed them for their music.

Trib article from today about JR being open to a MAF trade:

“The one thing I'll have to watch for and keep the lines of communication open with the player is, is he OK with the situation that he's in?” Rutherford said. “Going back to last year and to this point in time, he has handled it like a true pro. No issues at all. It may play out that we may be able to go right through having two top goalies on our team. We just have to keep an eye on what direction Marc wants to go here in the next few weeks.”

Fleury's agent, Allen Walsh, said via text message Thursday that he had no comment on which direction his client wanted to go.

Annoyed with JR.

“Our priority here is to win,†he said. “My preference hasn't changed. Go back to training camp. My preference is to keep both these goalies here this year.â€

Annoyed with JR.

True. It would be much smarter for him to say "I hate this 2 goalie crap. I'm so desperate to get rid of one, either one, just to end the speculation. "

That would put him in a real position of strength.

Exactly. He said exactly what he needed to say. Makes it sound solid to other teams, too.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

JB is our cap guy and the heir apparent. Is JR unaware of how the ****ing cap works and the expansion draft? This ass is gonna lose someone we need because he protects two goalies because of his priorities. Good lord.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I see your sarcasm.

The thing is he says that and doesn't address expansion or the cap. Those are real concerns and MAFs play. A recent number one can't just transition to back up when he relies on a heavy workload. The two goalie model works when the rookie isn't fully ready but they want him up. In this case the rookie is more than ready and the new number one. Maf might not see a game for a while and when he does he might not see another one for a while. JR is pulling a hand holding move.

If anyone wants proof that Fleury is cooperating and doesn't want to rock the boat, the fact that Allen Walsh had no comment on this matter should stand as that proof. Walsh has never exactly been one to keep quiet about his clients...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah Walsh is a wacko. If there was an issue the guy would say something. He has no muzzle.

Coldplay and U2 are two of Murray’s favorite bands, and they’ve made it onto his keyboard playlist. He’s also found Adele’s music especially enjoyable to learn and play.

Oh no

 

[Winger for Hire]

There's no need to protect him in the expansion draft, for the sake of the locker room.

 

[ColePens]

I knew there was a special connection between me and Murray...and it's Coldplay. Thank God. I didn't think I could love the guy more.

Oh no

It's okay. Goalies are expected to be a little nuts.

Was just reading Yohe's questions and answers post on DK's site. One person asked if Yohe was Sullivan, what would he do differently. Yohe said "I'd take it easy on my team in practices and morning skates. Lots of guys are complaining privately about fatigue. It's going to catch up to them at some point." Found that interesting.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Hmm. Did the pens ditch the morning skates and Sullivan is a big fan of game intensity at practices so shape up or gtfo.

I'm sure it's not that dire.
The NHL season is grueling as is. Add in the WorldCup or an Olympics and it's even more grueling.
And most of the top minute guys take optional skates off.
Sully taking it easy in practices, i don't see happinen'.
But he can do things like pushing them hard w/shorter practices.

Perhaps this was a comment directly related to Olli who, i imagine, they are trying to work through his issues by more on ice stuff vs rest.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

More wiffleball and moustache boy, less work! Then they'd have plenty of time to rest when they're eliminated in the first/second round.

Right because that's what I said.

Coldplay = best band of all time.

And i get the lock the thread on this comment.
