GDT: #27 | Pens vs. Ducks | Sat. Dec. 11 - 7:00 | Battle of the Birds

[Honour Over Glory]

Kap's playing so much stronger on the walls these last 2 games.

I really want him to light the lamp with Sid, just to stick it to Sully. Like a 3rd period hatty for Cheeks Klappanen would be phenomenal.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Casey looking good. We're gonna need more than 1

 

[vodeni]

Dumolin still sucks

Kap's playing so much stronger on the walls these last 2 games.

Probably something about knowing that if he wins it he is playing with a couple of guys that can do something with it.

 

[Gold Diamond]

That was a great save by CDS.

Would mean we can use GMR again.

I know it’s wishful thinking, but DOC looks like he’d be a workhorse for a Geno-led line

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Matheson always feels like he’s on the cusp of figuring his shit out the way Niskanen and Schultz did here, but then he pulls back, it’s frustrating as hell to watch. The skill is there, but the hesitation in his game is killing any momentum he shows.


Also that’s a sketch call.

He did well yesterday. 2 assists created by skill and speed.

 

[Fiji Water]

Dealing Zucker for a legit #6 D and a 3rd line winger would make me happy

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

O'Connor has definitely been one of our best players tonight. He deserves more ice time.

 

[Night Shift]

I spit my water out

 

[MrBurghundy]

Penalty?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I know it’s wishful thinking, but DOC looks like he’d be a workhorse for a Geno-led line

He definitely wins a ton of battles.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I'm impressed by the Pens fitness tonight.

Listened to this story on some random podcast.

Some CEO met with Jobs.

There was an agreement and all they needed to do was both CEOS sign. Both boards made the agreement.

Jobs was like so 250 million. CEO says wait we have an agreement. And Jobs is like yea we do but if we just block your company from Apple products how much Is your company worth?

Jobs brought a contract down like 100 million 30% of its value in just a couple of minutes.

Crazy.

This was before Governments took over with how they did business. Now they’re constantly in trouble for trying to continue the Jobs method of negotiating. They’ve been in hot water a ton for their Apple Store tactics and how they purposely make it harder for certain developers that they just want to be an asshole to or are trying to make a similar app/feature that they’re accidentally on purpose stealing and adding it as a new feature.

It’s funny, what blokes will praise Jobs for in older stuff, is the exact things they’re in trouble for now because everyone got wise to his bullshit tactics and are now taking them to task for it. Apple of course is one of the richest companies out there, so it’s just like a bug on a windshield for punishment to them, but they set some precedents and have paid out a lot of lawsuits without as much losing even a tiny bit of value to their stocks.

Mind you, I say this as someone that owns a fair amount of Apple stock, doesn’t mean I think they’re always on the up and up.

Of course he did, it sounds like he had all the leverage.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I usually don’t put all that much thought into the best pks of the league because I think a lot of it is pure luck, but this group of pk’ers is actually pretty good.

It’s the aggressiveness that has changed, something we all at some point here, have mentioned the Pens need to do more of. They were very passive for a long time on the PK, right now they overload the puck side and aren’t afraid of the open man as they feel the overloading leads to turnovers and their goalie will bail them out (and the goalies have been amazing on the PK -Notably Jarry).

That’s not Sully or Reirden, that’s gotta be Vellucci’s work. Because I didn’t really notice that with TR his first time around and definitely not Sully.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Look at Jarry, so smug.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Mind you, I say this as someone that owns a fair amount of Apple stock, doesn’t mean I think they’re always on the up and up.

I just want to say quickly I am not some apple or Jobs fan.

The only thing I own is a few apple stock. Never have owned an apple product in my life.

 

[Fiji Water]

1st line should stay as is, and Sullivan should just run GMR when everyone gets healthy. Of course Sully won't make this obvious move...

 

[eXile3]

Terry just a force tonight.

 

[Trade]

Terry just a force tonight.

Desmith has him in his back pocket

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Need a couple dangerous chances on our side. Keep the Ducks on there toes.

I can’t fault anyone for liking or disliking him - He did something very few could do and it’s turned into an iconic brand that holds the gold standard for everything, whether society likes it or not is another story. I despise the bloke, admire the hustle, also with stocks and apple products I’m basically an apple whore.

Jarry looks like a new man this year, great to see him smiling on the bench. Kudos to Hextall for telling him what he needed to hear over the summer. The difference in confidence and calm this year is profound.
