Proposal: The Matt Cullen Fan Club

[theicebox]

Just FYI: We're still accepting new members.

Also, I hope when Malkin returns, Cullen gets to keep the 'A'.

Cullen has become a Roberts-esque Pens folk legend.

It's just awesome watching the guy.

Kunitz should never have had the A in the first place IMO. Even when Kunitz was still productive I thought it should've been Dupuis

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Cullen!!! The boss man of the bottom 6.

Cullen and the gang.

1 more year! then he can retire, even if he's still playing good. Go out on top over being forced to retire because you're old and broken down.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

I'm all for 1 more year, and offering him a much deserved pay raise for it as well if need be.

 

[sf expat71]

He is so beast. Honestly can only count with one hand the number of bad games he's had this year, and he's played every game.

 

[66-30-33]

Cullen has a career high in short handed points with his goal. Also a career worst in PP points.

 

[Son Goku]

Cullen is still good man, give the young kids some envy.

 

[Nakawick]

My only concern is that he will start slowing down, but he keeps himself in great shape. I can see him coming back if we don't win the cup this year, then again maybe he will play another 5 years. He works great with the kids and still has a scoring touch, great signing.

 

[Ozz]

What a great pickup.

Retirement might be on Cullen’s mind this summer. His plan is simple. Cullen will sit down with his wife and children to discuss his future.

“I had no expectations going into this season,” Cullen said. “I knew it would be a smaller role for me. I didn’t know what to expect. But we’ll sit down as a family and figure it out. We’ll take our time.”

That’s fine with Rutherford.

If Cullen wishes to play in the NHL next season, the Penguins will be first in line to chat.

“We’ll worry about the off-season when we get there,” Rutherford said. “But I see no reason why we wouldn’t want him back next year.”

They better sign him if he wants to stay.

Then he can convert to a assistant coach or something for Pittsburgh.

Give him the label of guys under 25 trainer

This certainly belongs here.

When JR signed Cullen we weren't expecting WBS kids (not that many anyway) to be called up.
Providence!

Bump.

Tied for lead in team scoring with 5 points in 6 games while Sid is out.

59.6% on faceoffs.

2:27 SHTOI/G.

Pound for pound, Cullen is the best vet pick-up we've ever had. I'd say he's the perfect 4th line center, but he's better than any 4th line center has a right to be.

It's early, but I'm getting ready to start this year's bring back Cullen movement.

Amen.

 

[mpp9]

He's proof this league is full of idiots. How he didn't get offers from 29 other teams is beyond me. Best 4th line center in the game and it isn't close.

 

[ColePens]

I'm already in the fan club, but I want to be in twice? I never thought he'd match production, but he's on his way. And every other thing he does on the ice is great. It's insane.

 

[#66]

Always like him even as a Ranger. Still insanely effective and I wouldnt mind seeing him on Malkins wing some nights. Maybe even next year too.

Im hoping Guentzel can find some time on the Pens while hes still around. I think of him as a Cullen type player.

I'd like to see Sheary and Guentzel gets looks with Cullen this season. Even if it's at the expense of Kuhn.

Hagelin/Bonino and Cullen/Fehr are fine PK duos. I'd like to see us make our bottom two lines even more dangerous.

Throw Kunitz with Sid as another pairing at the end of PKs.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

He is almost 40 and being a boss. How did the wild not sign him

Do we know he didn't get offers from other teams?

5 points in 6 games. Needs 23 points to have the most points for a player 40+ on the Penguins. Beating even Lemieux.

He must like jewelry.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

He must like jewelry.

I hope the Pens give him a front office job or assistant coaching job. I think he could really help in that department.
