GDT: #13 | Penguins vs Senators | Nov 13th 7 PM | It's my party, I'll cry if I want to

[eXile3]

Still not a bad move at the time. No one could see Brassard suddenly turning into a bad player.

I mean besides all the evidence that players start declining at that age and that a portion of his points were coming off the PP which we knew he would get little of with the Pens.

That said I like the deal at the time so hindsight is 20/20.

 

[Sideline]

I like what I see from Friedman. Riikola and POJ less.

 

[Pancakes]

We can't say JR didn't live up to his name as our GM. He gave us the full GMJR experience: early success followed by what in gods name was that? Literally same deal he pulled in Carolina, except that here he managed to keep the juju going for an extra cup.

 

[The Old Master]

Something doesn’t look right with Rust.

his beard?

 

[Trade]

Something doesn’t look right with Rust.

He’s skating like he has poopypants tonight

Actually Brassard was having the best 5v5 season of his career that year with Ottawa and had very little PP production....

 

[KIRK]

Every time Kap or E-Rod fire the puck 4 feet wide, I just think of the guy from Major League and the "Juuuuuuust a bit outside!"

Interestingly, here's me by the time this team reaches the third period . . .

 

[AuroraBorealis]

A lot of our Forwards look sleepy and disorganized.
Given the circumstances, I'm ok with some of the D trying to force the issue offensively. Matheson, Riiko and Letang at least look like they wanna be here.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

2nd camera cut already to the most interesting goaltender in the world. Wonder how many we'll end up with.

 

[KIRK]

Something doesn’t look right with Rust.

Actually, what you're seeing with Rust is exactly the player he's become in the last 12 months . . . pure perimeter guy.

 

[vodeni]

is this the offensively most inept fourth line in NHL

 

[dogthateats]

They should have a pip view of Domingue’s reactions to the entire game

 

[eXile3]

It irks me that in my heart I know tge second Malkin and Crosby are retired, the league will increase the net size to increase scoring…. I just know its going to work that way….

They'll probably start calling penalties in the playoffs so talented teams have an advantage. I would support that but it would also irk me.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Tanger for Josh Norris would be a shit trade

Something witty about Letang finally getting a Norris.

 

[PensandCaps]

He's drove the net more already this season than last.

 

[canadianguy77]

They play well enough most games to win, but there just isn’t enough scoring touch. I don’t think Sid and Geno move the needle far enough for this to be a successful team in the playoffs.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Lol here we go.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

ok, f***ing score

 

[Killahpunk]

Better score one here.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Don't you dare bring you know who in here

 

[DearDiary]

Guentzal gets hit with more high sticks than anyone I've ever seen

 

[vodeni]

chance to break 0 for 19

 

[Trade]

If Sully somehow sticks Carter with Sid and Jake when healthy……me likey

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Ok seriously. It's time.
This 10% PP needs to do shit.

Honestly, my only issue with it was that they could've pulled it off without moving Cole. Yes, I know, he wasn't the same guy as he'd been, but he would've come in handy in the playoffs.

No way to know the other part with Brassard.
