GDT: Preseason Game #1 | Detroit Red Wings at Pittsburgh Penguins

[Xavier Laflamme*]

^^ Main reason I finally stopped keeping him in a fantasy keeper league. The guy is one of the best in the world but just cannot stay healthy. Shame because he's worth every penny of a ticket price.

And there is no way I believe Scuds checked anyone.

The partition did more than anything. I give scuds no credit.

The way BB played tonight...how do you not put him on Crosby's line eventually during the year?

I missed the 2nd half of the game, how did Bennett, Hornqvist, Despres and Spaling look?

Read the thread or the remarks from the last couple pages singing the praises of all four men, especially the first three.

How can BB be on Sid's line when at least one of them will be injured at any given time?

 

[penguins2946*]

Hornqvist was making me tired watching him work. He's going to help Malkin find a lot of loose pucks.

Hornqvist Malkin BB

C'mon Dan.

I just want that line so I can call it the Horny Russian Beauner line

I missed the game tonight, but saw someone early in this thread noted that the game is going to be re-broadcast on NHL Network tomorrow...anyone have a time on that?

BB wasn't the issue on Crosby's line as much as Crosby and Kunitz flat out ignoring his existence was...

1pm EST.

Thanks much, td...

Looking forward to seeing it, especially after hearing the positive first impressions voiced in this thread...

 

[WayneSid9987]

MJ mentions Farnham by name. Loved that.
Said the constant PK'ing tired out his key guys and Rossi with the obigatory dunce hat question.

No prob.

Pens currently have three contracts Kunitz, Dupuis and Scuderi that they can't do anything this year. No question next year the Pens will have to eat some money to move them. Atlanta Braves fired the GM for bad contracts for under performing players. That is what happens when a GM is lazy and just has no options or makes a really stupid decision.

This warms my heart.

Kunitz doesn't belong in that group, he could be moved easily if they wanted to.

It's almost like Kunitz just had a 35 goal, 70 point season

It's so weird to watch a post-game press conference without an extended moment of silence after every question.

It's so weird to watch a post-game press conference without an extended moment of silence after every question.

Just pause the clip for about 10 seconds after every question. It'll help ease the transition.

 

[Fordy]

Wow. He starts the press conference off praising Farnham. That's awesome.

It's alarming to hear someone respond to a question so quickly. Scary.

 

[BHD]

MJ said more during that post-game alone than Bylsma did in his whole tenure.

 

[penguins2946*]

I like what he said about Bennett. It seems like he had an absolutely phenomenal game.

 

[flaneur]

Yeah, not surprised. Didn't look too good after the hit.

yikes. that was a pretty solid hit by scuderi.

it's things like this that makes me perfectly okay with Malkin and Crosby sitting out parts of the preseason.

I'll have to try that next time.

He did. It was fun to watch him play his game. You could really see his creativity, and he clearly has the best offensive instincts out of everyone we iced tonight. I think he's going to have a great season. The coaching change will be huge for both him and Despres.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I'm not a fan of that press conference.

Johnston wasn't drinking nearly enough water, maybe that flies in the WHL pal, but here in the big leagues we stay hydrated!

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I will say that I think Scuderi was making an effort to adapt, he may have pinched, he hit someone and I think he successfully made a pass over some distance. It's just that that's him trying... and he still spent so much time off his skates. At one point his ass was facing the play for a second.

It's pretty standard.

The Penguins fared well in the faceoff circle, better than I thought. They won 28 of 47 draws for a 60-percent success rate. Center Brandon Sutter went 14-5 for an absurd 74-percent mark. Jean-Sebastien Dea, who’s had an impressive camp and rookie tournament, won four of his five draws.

Johnston speaking continues to be a treat. Talk about low standards, though, all he has to do is not take 10-15 second pauses and stammer something weird out.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY



Darn it, Scuderi! Darn it, turnbuckle!
