Pre-Game Talk: Who is this Iginla fellow? There is a game tonight!!!!! | Shrimper Has the GDT

[IcedCapp]

apparently, due to frequent misuse, the definition of literally now essentially includes figuratively.



bending to the lowest common denominator, apparently.

anyways, I am hoping the Jets win. by some minor miracle. I think we're starting Montoya tonight, btw.

My name is Al Montoya, you traded for Iginla, prepare to lose.

 

[AltDess]

Based on the people that call Pittsburgh sports talk shows, do you honestly think any of them know who Cory Schneider is?

hahaha...hell no...
But someone did just call in to Ron Cook to poo-poo the trade!

 

[Antaris]

Antaris: Jarome the Panda has found happiness. Let us disturb him no further. Nature must be left to nature. Amen.

We have served the Red Panda well since the days of #parisewatch. For this we have been rewarded.

But someone did just call in to Ron Cook to poo-poo the trade!

The first call I heard today was someone doing the same. Someone I know even worried about us becoming the Sharks (???). Gotta embrace this, we're gunning for it like almost never before. Also, like I keep saying to those around me, we gave up ZERO roster players.

 

[Saison Marguerite]

Don't really have a good feeling about tonight, but I've been saying that all month, and look at what happened. What do I know?

Just excited to see Murray in action and maybe, possibly, perhaps getting Geno back!

Lines looking like this: 14-87-9, 10-71-18, 24-16-48, 15-27-46 (17, 19). D-pairs: 44-7, 3-2, 47-4-5. #Pens

Malkin also on the top PP unit, on a point, with Martin, Crosby, Neal and Kunitz. #Penguins

NICE. looks like Malkin is back tonight. does someone have to get sent down to make room for Iginla? (bennett?). hope Despres plays tonight

sharks part is the best.

Malkin sounds like he is playing tonight

excellent

 

[Clunker]

Not going to be able to watch the game tonight, so I'm kind of glad Iginla isn't playing in this one.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Lmao at the title. That fits perfectly when fans think we are all bandwagoners.

Hey, I will wear that bandwagoning proud!

So, Iggy has nine goals and needs twenty-one in fourteen to keep his record without an asterix. Up to the challenge, Sid?

 

[Shady Machine]

I'm confused at how these roster situations happen. I thought you couldn't ever have over 23 players. Even with Malkin and Letang on IR, don't we have 24? The only thing I can think of is that Iginla doesn't count until he reports.

 

[IcedCapp]

So I ask Ottawa coach Paul MacLean his thoughts on Iginla deal: "I don't know why we're going to bother playing the playoffs."

The team is going to have to deal with this the rest of the year. Every team will have "nobody believed in us" going on in their locker room, and the Pens will have to avoid buying into their own headlines. Lots of mental toughness required coming up.

 

[Giskard]

Iginla healthy scratch two games in a row ... not a good start

But tonight is Murray night! Welcome!

 

[Darth Vitale]

Anyone down with Thor as a new nickname for Murray? I suppose we should let him earn it in black and gold first but I believe in all things Scottish and Swedish. Except Haggis maybe and that nasty room temperature fish dish those nordic types eat (like strips-o-fish or something).

 

[Antaris]

Surströmming?

It's awesome, you people have no culture.


I'm down with calling Murray, Thor.

BRING ON THE HAMMER!

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

James Gordon @SensReporter
Breaking: Jets seen crying and hugging at their hotel. @EricFrancis: Iginla will not join the Penguins for tonight's home game against WPG.

Dont know if you guys have seen this, but there it is.

When's your next game? Sunday/Monday? Curious to see when Iggy makes his debut.

Why would the Jets be doing that? For a moment I read that too fast and naturally assumed it was the Flames doing so, which would make sense.

 

[IcedCapp]

Jarome is NOT on the 23-man roster until his immigration status is approved.

(From Shero's press conference)

 

[IcedCapp]

Malkin and Fleury game-time decisions per the coach

No other injury updates.

Yeah the ole " setting us up for failure " trick...their only hope for us to possibly choke. Keep building us up , saying there's no chance we will lose. Not going to work with this team, they're aware of it. Not to mention we've already been thru it...last year.

Speaking of that , Shero did vow there would be big changes after last year...he came thru.

He then said Vokoun starting no?

 

[IcedCapp]

Bylsma just said he's not breaking up the top line, except for maybe a few shifts here and there.

Whatever.

He then said Vokoun starting no?

yes, it's more of a roster issue more than anything.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Bylsma just said he's not breaking up Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis

Hrmmm

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

So I guess that means

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Iginla-Malkin-Neal
Morrow-Sutter-Kennedy/Cooke?

I was bored, soooo:

 

[couture23]

Hey guys, congrats on the trade.

What are the chances Bennett gets sent down to WBS?
