GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins v Nashville Predators | 15/11/13 @ 7:00pm EST

[PredsFanFromla]

You mind if we keep that Shea Weber guy

Sure,that will make philly mad

 

[Terrapin]

Is there a reason Engo is in the lineup and Bort/Depres/Dumo are not?

Dumo hasn't been up all year, Bort will split some time w/ Engo, and Despres sucks

you seriously believe that Engo is better than Despres, don't you?

 

[End of Line]

Sorry, didn't mean to be insensitive.

I came across as a dick, apologies.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

can't see that gif and not think he just did a line of coke

I always think that he's resisting an epiphany.

"Dupuis shouldn't be on the fir *gif*"
"Bennett looks good with Cros *gif*"

Maybe coke is how he does it.

Dumo hasn't been up all year, Bort will split some time w/ Engo, and Despres sucks

My problem with it is that they always find an excuse to sneak Engo out there. He is less of a liability as a F, but as a D, he's a mess. I don't mind him used when Martin is out for a maintenance day, but if someone misses 3 games, we need Depres up.

It's valuable experience wasted on a plug with Engo, and a lesser player to boot.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Imagine if that was Letang shooting into that Nashville forward? This board would've lost its mind.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

Cross-ice passes....cross-ice passes everywhere.

 

[Sivek]

Not sure why Sid forces the cross ice pass every time on the PP. It never, ever works.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

I give up on trying to embed, here's a clip of the fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQcQZ2a7cmQ

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Miller time always makes me think of Ryan Miller.

 

[Fordy]

Beau is flying out there.

 

[Terrapin]

Well one guy is playing in the NHL tonight, the other is about 10th on the depth chart, floundering in Wilkes Barre. You tell me?

But since you asked nicely, Despres obviously has more natural ability. Engo is the more solid player and provides the team with something Despres doesn't, at least at this time. Sorry, it's true.

 

[Kiith Nabaal]

P.S. I am bad at things so this probably did not work right but I will keep trying darnit.

The way it works is this:

you take the thing after the = sign: "v=mQcQZ2a7cmQ" and place it between the YT tags

Thank you <3

Yeah, it never works, except when it does...

A player with no upside who turns the puck over every time he touches it and takes a feckless penalty a night? We're playing Nashville in November. Bort should be in there.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

That's the sandwich of the game

I do love me some Beau though.

 

[Terrapin]

Can you point out some specific examples of this liability you speak of? Cause to be honest, Letang, Orpik, Niskanen, and Maata make many more mistakes, turnovers, etc. But since their 'ceiling' is higher, we live with them. You're right though that Engo's ceiling is pretty low, and would be nice to see Dumo, Harrington, etc more often. And I'm sure we will.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Steiggy and Errey talking about skates.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Since when is Engelland a liability? Last time I checked, he is a solid bottom-pairing defenseman.

 

[Terrapin]

I like Bort. People crying about Despres though are the same people that probably cried about Eric Tangradi and Luca Caputi not playing 82 games a year

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

The growing opinion seems to be that anyone over 24 (other than Sid and Geno) are old geezers that are terrible....that being said, I do prefer Bort

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Despres is hardly floundering in the AHL. Engellend has been a serviceable depth defenseman for the Penguins for a few years, now. But I prefer him much more at forward. There is room for both. Despres has hardly shown any flashes of the general uselessness that Tangradi often would. I don't really understand the argument, honestly.

Really, really liking Neal's game.

 

[Terrapin]

Since when is Engelland a liability? Last time I checked, he is a solid bottom-pairing defenseman.

He's a liability because he plays physically and will occasionally drop the gloves. Some people just hate physical play, and physical players. And if they can be replaced with a younger player that's never done anything in the league, then the pitchforks really come out.
