If i'm a Penguin, i go down at ANYTHING.

Comparing him to Sheahan, Grant, and now Maatta is a really interesting defense strategy I think people are overstating their dislike of him, but he's just not actually doing much of anything positive out there.

If ZAR was playing as our 12th forward, people wouldn't care nearly as much. But he's not.

Statistically, this is 100% false.

Yeah, I think the Maatta comparison is accurate. People just notice his skating is poor, so they just complain about him at every opportunity and don't say anything positive about him when he does something well. Grant is the same way, it really seems like people here only think skilled players are any good.

This game is just so sad...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yes, but good lord could I go for a pot of bernaise sauce marinated with filet mignon and crispy fries.

EDIT: And a creme brule chaser.

Last time I had creme brulee was in San Francisco in May.

I miss the Bay Area (and the Pens not playing like shit).

I am too old for that. My stomach cannot hold it anymore.

He does something well?

I just don't see this, no matter how many times people on HF say it, I just don't see it with him. He's not a good playmaker, but he's not advertised as a playmaker. I don't think his playmaking is any worse than their other bottom-6 players like Sheahan or Grant.

It's the same way with Grant here, people constantly rip him and I just don't see what people are talking about.

He doesn’t need to thread the needle with a highlight reel pass but even simply chipping the puck out of the zone tends to become a huge ordeal for him.

Well, the misses just made shrimp po boys for dinner. Not quite San Francisco . . . or New Orleans. But, tasty all the same.

What's he doing well? I'm honestly curious. Maybe pushing possession I guess? I've only seen the 2nd half of this game. Listened to most of the last two as well.

Here's what I see that bothers me the most. When the play gets to him in the O-zone, the play is dead pretty much every time. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

Lorsque j'avais 20 ans, oui. À 32 ans, mon estomac est plus fragile.

 

[canadianguy77]

PR machine is in full effect with ZAR.

 

[Turin]

THIS TEAM HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME HAINSEY LEFT

 

[KIRK]

Good stuff. L1 gives up a 3 on 2 off a lost offensive zone faceoff.

 

[Talisman]

I really miss Mario and Jagr'

 

[KIRK]

THIS TEAM HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME HAINSEY LEFT

And Daley

 

[Bingo71]

Who gets the ENG?

Giroux? Voracek?

 

[Andy99]

Letang in the locker room with the doctor...lobotomy?

 

[WayneSid9987]

He’s allowed to have a bad game. It means an automatic loss because JR, but it happens.

You think they're losing tonight and lost in COL cuz JJ. Olli, CDS suck and that ain't why, bud.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

You're big on math stuffs ... when will it become statistically impossible for us to make the playoffs this season?

When did they sign Johnson again?

Then.

 

[Turin]

And Daley

K now you’re getting too real for me I didn’t want it to hurt

 

[Scandale du Jour]

PR machine is in full effect with ZAR.

Is he Morehouse's nephew or.something?

 

[K Fleur]

SUBWAY SANDWICH OF THE GAME ZAR

Subway, like ZAR, f***ing sucks.

correlation doesn’t equal causation

Hainsey was terrible here.

I figured forcing you to reply would hurt you less than watching this ****.
