Scandale du Jour

Continue. Last few posts.
One more thing tying into my earlier posts.
I disagree when people say the third goal was on Sid as much as Letang. Yes, Sid should ideally also play that better, but it was a one goal game with half the game to play. Sully’s best cliche for this team is “take what the game gives you”, and no one needs that imprinted on him more than 58, because when he does he is great.
Letang going for a 40/60 pinch deep in the opponents third is gambling big time.
Do it when we’re desperate ONLY, least of all when it is a tight game, unless it is late and we need a goal of course. That’s basically all the reigning in I ask for with Letang.
When we won without Letang in 17’ a major reason was that we did not gift away much and trusted offense to do enough eventually. He MUST show better judgement, or it is extremely likely that those easy goals against will be just like this one come showtime. Like we have honestly seen it way too many times before.
From Russo via the Wild board:
I think the telling thing here is that other teams know who Zucker put on his NTC. This Russo comment could be about Pittsburgh, but I think it could also be about someone like Calgary, who's also a strong possibility to be on Zucker's NTC and be interested in him.
LeBrun thinks we might have an interest in Simmonds. Speculation more than reporting.
No thanks
Hoping we trade Chucky, Bjugstad, Schultz, 1st, prospect and get 1 winger top 6, 1 depth winger and 1 D man.
(X) Press X to doubt
Simmonds really doesn't make sense because he's a bad top-6 player on a bad team at this point. Maybe he makes sense as the depth veteran forward, but that's about it. He's a guy that's on par with Kovalchuk, not a top-6 player on a playoff team.
Stuff like this would sour me on wanting him in Pittsburgh, we have had enough toxic drama over the past decade and we've seen how it has sandbagged our locker room over the past two seasons in particular.
Letang wasn't on the ice for the 3rd goal ? iirc
....because he goes on twitter??? lol
