Pretty good bounce back team.

I look for it to happen.

LGP!

 

[SidDidNothingWrong]

WOOOOT SNOW DAY NO CLASSES AT UNI
Now I can read disparaging comments on the boards. I wouldn't spend it any other way.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Just no more Ebbett's or Kobasew's...please DB?
You made Ebbett's mom proud, that should be enough.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Don't **** it up again, Pens.

... Kobasew needs to stay gone so I can pretend he never happened or that he disappeared right before he got terribad and pathetic. Ebbett can go back to wherever he came from and maybe Letang will come back from his whatever smarter, less stupid. Ah, hope and optimism.

Letang not at morning skate

Letang is missing from this morning's skate, but it looks like all other healthy #Pens are present.

I dunno what's going on with Letang

 

[Shady Machine]

I couldn't care less about Letang at this point. Hold him out the rest of the week and let him rest over the Olympic break.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

This Letang thing is just odd at this point. He has the immune system of an 80 year old if it's something that was going around the team with no one else missing a game. Please be a trade, come on, Shero, you can do it. I'll make sHero jokes.


This is Letang so it's probably not anything minor. Could it be his elbow again? Or his groin? Or him being on antibiotics and that messing with his migraine medication so they're being careful?


Lupus?

 

[MrBurghundy]

Its ok guys. Letang is just sick. Sick guys always laugh it up with a bunch of old ladies in special box during the game and miss a potential 3 games in a row right after.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I'm hoping there keeping him out because there planning on trading him and they don't want him to get injured.

I know that's unlikely but its what i want to believe.

[Allie Kitsune]

See, the longer this goes on, the more my brain automatically filters "Letang" to "Compliance Buyout".

Can't happen, his contract was signed after the lockout... and it would be the worst use of a buyout ever. Sign a guy to a $58mil contact and as soon as it kicks in you buy him out.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

IDK, maybe it's a mental health thing.

It was lupus that one time.

... I think...


Rob Rossi ‏@RobRossi_Trib
Not to be a downer for the fringe, but there is zero chatter about #pens looking to trade Kris Letang. Back to conspiracies you may go...

Take from that what you will.

 

[IcedCapp]

Crosby has mentioned that he felt the hit that injured Dupuis was dirty multiple times. I wonder if we see any shenanigans tonight.

So trade incoming?

 

[IcedCapp]

I don't necessarily want him traded, but I'd love to see it happen now just to make him (Rossi) look like a boob

So he's as good as traded then? (edit: beaten to it, haha)


I do think if anything happens with him it'll definitely be in the offseason.

Considering the opponent he should probably just call CSI

I want him traded at this point. IMO he's a luxury that we don't need, and is a symbol of everything wrong with this team at times, who could solve a lot of our issues up front while losing relatively little on the back end.

Brings back memories of things like this.

#TribHKY >> finally, #pens unwilling to move Joe Morrow. View him as top overall prospect.

...And 9 days later Joe Morrow was traded.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Then there was the whole Yandle thing.

And that's how legends are made.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Normally I would take whatever Rossi says and believe the opposite, but I highly, highly doubt Letang is going anywhere this season.
