Glad to see HFB got the big ass ads to load on the new servers.

What an experience on mobile watching Pampers take up 35% 50% of my screen every three posts.

Preds aren’t reachable IMO, but huge wins from Seattle and Philly last night (and obviously Buffalo). Hopefully Philly goes on a run here with the coaching change.

If you filter by points percentage, 4th to 8th last is neck and neck.

IMO 2-6 down the stretch gets us to 4th last.

Excited! But not really with Sullivan still employed here lol

Now I have to start watching games again.

Kind of feels like a reaction to getting their asses handed to them multiple games in a row.

Nice to see these two rewarded. Poulin is cooked in this organization isn't he. He couldn't possibly be any worse than Acciari or Neito

 

[Khelandros]

I'd be real annoyed if I were a Preds fan tbh. That team threw a buncha money at old guys this past summer, wasted Saros' prime, has a complete dipshit at GM who seems to have no idea what the hell he's doing.

What happens when you let a coach build a team?

 

[WickedWrister]

Makes sense now that WBS has clinched the playoffs. Will be fun to see them get a few games before going back down for the playoff run.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Ugh.. do NOT inject life into this team fellas

8 games to go. Let’s just lose

 

[WickedWrister]

Could be a totally unsubstantiated rumor but it's the Flyers so I will choose to believe it

 

[Empoleon8771]

"We're not going to call them up until they're here to stay"

"Let's call them up with 8 meaningless games left as WBS is trying to win their division"

I know it's because WBS just clinched a playoff spot so they're rewarding McGroarty and Koivunen with 8 NHL games and NHL paychecks, but still.

For the record, the Penguins last game is on April 17th and WBS's last game is on April 19th. So McGroarty and Koivunen will get 3 weeks in the NHL and then be back for WBS's last 2 games.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I mean yeah Dubas completely lies to the media

He ain’t JR

Which is fine w me tbh

 

[TimmyD]

Gonna be awesome to see them get 8 NHL games where they average 6 minutes a night on line 4 because they “aren’t ready” yet.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

No chance, our coach said he wasn't afraid to play younger players last week!!!

Seriously tough, I'm very happy for both, well deserved to end the season here before going back down for the playoffs in WBS.

 

[Rave7215]

It's pointless to bring them up unless they are playing substantial minutes. If Sully stick one in the press box or both on 4th line minutes, it's a waste.

 

[Andy99]

They’ll all be benched in the third period of a 4-1 game we’re losing because…..we have to play Acciari out there to try to get a lead!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Gonna be awesome to see them get 8 NHL games where they average 6 minutes a night on line 4 because they “aren’t ready” yet.

I mean, if Sullivan does not play them more for that reason when we are eliminated, then, he is even more an idiot than we all think.

 

[MeinerEiner]

It has to be McGroarty - Malkin - Koivunen

Everything else is pure bs, so expect them to play with Heinen on the 4th line

Can't have them learning bad habits from a PP2 scrub like Malkin. They need the real leadership you can only get from PP1 Kevin Hayes.

You know it’s going to be Hayes lol…because Geno is just too off-script…we can’t have our newbies developing bad habits like not grinding enough in favor of playing offense and actually scoring goals…Not Playing The Right Way

 

[Gurglesons]

Excited regardless of coach dumbass that they are coming up. Feel like Tomasino gets scratched lol.

 

[Andy99]

Noice…so prepare for our new 4th line of McG-Lizotte-Acciari lol

 

[cookthebooks]

sully not playing the kids here means more ice team for guy who stink and are over this season. win win

 

[SEALBound]

The team also has a bunch of injuries. They only had 11 forwards. Dewar may be banged up a bit after that hit as well. Makes sense to have to call some guys up.

I may actually watch the next game with intent!

Rakell-Sid-Rust
McGroarty-Malkin-Koivunen
Dewar-Hayes-Tomasino
Heinen-Lizotte-Acciari

I don't see any other option that "makes sense". If you're calling those two up, call them up and give them the time. Not like anyone in that bottom 6 has the case to bitch to Sullivan about playtime and assignments.

 

[Khelandros]

Poor kid is doomed before he's even played a game.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Ah, good, add some young guys hungry to prove themselves and breathe new life into an aged, bottom 5/6 team in the league when the only goal is to be as bad as possible for the next 10ish games to secure the best pick possible. Love that.
