Steve Downie is on pace for 345 PIM...

[Will Hunting]

PIM:
1. Steve Downie 135
2. Cody McLeod 76
3. Derek Dorsett 75
4. Brandon Prust 71
5. Tom Wilson 67

On pace for 345 penalty minutes so far, but also for 44 pts. He´s a very solid underrated passer, imo.

Went nuts on Gudbranson after the fight last night, signalling that Gudbranson is much more taller than him:

He was also punching him while he was on the ice, though..

In a league of his own in that department. Nice he found a niche in the NHL

 

[Shrimper]

The funny thing is that he isn't bad at producing either.

 

[StupidityKills]

How does him taking penalties make him a troll?

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Love that guy.

You just beat the **** out of me, but that's solely because you're bigger than me.

lol wut a troll.

Never seen someone talk so much **** after getting his ass kicked.

It's the way he takes them.

 

[Sarcastic]

I question the correlation between high penalty minutes and being a troll as well as your definition of the word 'troll'.

 

[Will Hunting]

He´s an ultimate troll, but I will change the thread title just because this shouldn´t be about the meaning of the word "troll"

Love watching Downie play, just glad he isn't on the Avs anymore. Just look at his eyes, he's a psychopath. You can never tell when he's about to snap.

Apparently playing a dirty game makes someone a troll now...somehow.

The funny thing is that he isn't bad at producing either.

If he could shoot and play on the PP he would be a 2nd line player ability wise, he has beautiful mitts when it comes to passing.

His 5v5 production per minute is also exemplary since he entered the league. 2P/60... that is the same in that time as:

Eric Staal, Anze Kopitar, Nicklas Backstrom, Jeff Carter, Justin Williams and Max Pacioretty.

The only bigger surprise for me in the top 100 5v5 P/60 producers in that timeframe (2007-08 to present, 1000+ minutes played) is JP Dumont.

me too , I dont mind the trade , i'm happy with Talbot

Well, he´s not THAT dirty. At least not in a way to threat some injuries for opposition. I mean, "most of the times". He takes mainly misconducts for unsportsmanlike conducts, reputation calls, fighting majors etc..

 

[Boreal01]

Great agitator, not the best fighter.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

He's one of a dieing breed thats for sure. Heavy pims guy that can probably play middle six minutes without looking bad. He seems like hes going nuts again though

 

[King'sPawn]

Is someone going to photoshop a tutu on him? Looks like he's doing a pirouette the way he bends his arm over his head.

He's just pointing out how big his christmas tree and where it is if Gudbranson wishes to leave him a present.

 

[Helistin]

Meh , why people are so impressed when someone does a monkey dance after they get beaten up.

The Pens needed that.

 

[The Macho King]

Will always love Downie (unless he does something to a Lightning player in the future that makes me not love him). You're never going to have reason to question his heart, that's for damn sure.

 

[LionelHutz*]

Him and Bobby Farnham are truly amazing to watch, It really is pretty indescribable, You just have to stay tuned and see what they'll pull. I truely think they have pregame bets to see which one out lunatics the other.

 

[teddy83]

Stay classy, Steve

 

[Lomez]

Personally, I think he brings a lot of what the Pens needed. Great team guy, some soft hands, and a bit crazy. Truth be told though, it does seem a few of these minutes are from misconducts because he can't keep his trap closed.
