GDT: #10 | Boston Bruins vs Pittsburgh Penguins | 11/1/22 8:00 PM EST | For Animal Supremacy

Oh man that jacks the Penguins chances of winning this probably all the way up to like 10% now.

Whether the timeline was legit or not, I actually have a lot of admiration for that little rat for his return. Double hip surgery is no f***ing joke and he looked strong in that comeback game... the athlete in me applauds that.

I sit next to the Bs bench in Boston, and no one works harder than Brad Marchand. The kid gives 110% every shift and is a workout nut. It was killing him to sit out.

I get why other teams dislike him (even though he has calmed down quite a bit) but I love watching Brad play...Plus he is a funny man.

Marchand wasn't the one setting the dates. It's the medical staff that lied. The players just follow instructions like soldiers.

But yeah, his form is remarkable. Hope he stays in the league a while yet. The NHL needs more personalities.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Basically the date he returned they had circled all along and chose to lie to everyone, out of fear of ending up wrong. Marchand already confirmed this.
Should have just gave a very rough estimate like everyone else does IMO, instead of screwing with people. Whatever though.

That is a weird f***ing take, my friend?

How so?

Friedman said the same. He said they lied, straight up.
Looks like the same thing's about to happen with MacAvoy returning like a month early or whatever.

Just a matter of one medical staff taking liberties with what they report to the media, instead of conforming.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I dunno team medical staffs seem extremely scrupulous and forthright to me.

*looks at obvious-mumps Crosby*

I appreciate the context @AuroraBorealis but I'm actually agreeing with you in my own jackass kind of way.

Just thought it'd be funny to see.
The 32 Thoughts podcast calling them out was good too.

Watch MacAvoy return in like a week when they said December.

Another one goal for game incoming.

Or maybe they'll surprise me in a good way for a change.

I can't fathom a win but if nothing else it would be pretty fun to watch suddenly-Mike-Smith Jarry lose his shit and chase Marchand around the ice after he scores one of his several goals tonight against him. At least get some circus stuff going on and wake us up a little bit out of our collective comas.

Please provide a link to whatever Friedman said. He's a sports journalist, not an unimpeachable arbiter of facts, but I respect the guy. Exactly what did "they" lie about?

We're like 100-2 at home against Boston during the Sullivan years.

the actual numbers are 9-3 and I believe one of the losses was like his 2nd game.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Imagine we win this one just to f*** with our souls.

I doubt it.

Also wasn't O'Connor called up to be 3c? I thought Poulin was already sent back down. Otherwise that line up posted with the bottom 6 looks idiotic.

Well then uh... the odds are even more likely to catch up!

I see why you’re in HR and not accounting.

Seems like a team we get up for no matter what kinda like Tampa. We will see.

I see why you’re in HR and not accounting.

I'd probably blow my brains out if I was in accounting.

 

[K Fleur]

I’m going bold:

Zucker gets two goals tonight and takes two trips back to the training room.

Vegas agrees with you. Pens are favored (-120). Surprising.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Well now they're definitely gettin' blown out.

 

[Gurglesons]

If they do get blown out, I'm wondering when the Penguins start getting questioned like the Blues and Leafs.

We do have the 3rd best coach in the league so!
