GDT: #35|Pens vs. Isles|Mar, 27 - 2021|7:00PM EST|PPG| Big Z Takes on New York

[ownal]

Big Z looks amazing his first game and Sully rewards him with not even 5 minutes of ice time.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I think they think what he adds in transition and offensively outweighs his issues, or at least they do to a degree that in their mind exceeds the cost/benefit considerations with POJ or Friedman.

I'm not talking about a permanent HS, but he's looked awful today, like he's not really in the game.

The glimpse we got from Friedman, he had some promise. Still cannot stand Petts's game and would get rid of him before Matheson.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Only thing I like about Long Island, the iced tea.

Had my first White Castle burger on Long Island. It was sooooooo good. Obviously I was hammered.

 

[MrBrightside]

I hope Ryder loses his bet twice. That guy.

 

[HandshakeLine]

LOL, assuming everyone is healthy suddenly. How would you build the lineup?

Edit: It's the intermission and I am a bit Passover drunk - entertain me.

Chag Sameach!

I really have no idea, lots of tough decisions there. I'd imagine it'd be the usual but just roll Scev - GOAT - Lafferty as the 4th?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Holy shit you are right. He looks tall on the ice man.

Yeah, it isn't much, but if people thought Cullen was small they didn't look.

i'm still pulling for riiky

 

[AuroraBorealis]

What would the lines look like tomorrow if we were healthy? Any takers?

Guentzel - Crosby - Rust
McCann - Malkin - Kapanen
Zucker - Blueger - Tanev
ZAR - Gaudreau - Zahorna/ERod

That's what I'd do anyway.

 

[ottawah]

Seems real cheap.. why was NYR looking to move him anyway?

He was their 4th line LW. Thought they would have got more, but he was the logical one to move.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Yeah because that should be his priority.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Don't recommend. I been losing that battle for 3 years.

There was a white castle like 3 minutes away where I lived at OSU. I never went. i couldn't imagine it being good.

Also... in-n-out or whatever it is is sooooooooooo f***ing overrated. Okay burger... but shake shack was better.

The Riikola signing is just one of the weirdest ones in the last few years. Just puzzling on all levels.

 

[The Old Master]

me too, but i keep trying.

One could only chalk it up to torture or masochism

Choir says preach on, my brother.

 

[vodeni]

second and third should keep up in the third, they've been really good, support and backcheck, limit the opportunity, clog the shit out of NZ

 

[KIRK]

Only thing is you need him to be good against the type of teams you'll see in the playoffs.

Tom Hanks is back!

White Castle sucks. You get a pass for being hammered.

I mean, good for Jusso for getting that cash, but man, why sign a guy you're never going to play for twice as much as your other depth guys who you do play?

 

[Tender Rip]

Big Z looks amazing his first game and Sully rewards him with not even 5 minutes of ice time.

It should be hard to criticise the coach when 5-1 up after two while missing half our top6 and half our bottom 6.
I would also like to see Z and Angello more, but its an important W to get, it is Z’s first NHL game at C, against a deep team, and they have all rookies on that line.

I’m sure if Pens come though the opening of the third alright, they will get more shifts.

Back to the start, you cannot bitch about coaching with what the team has done in this one.

xGMJR works in mysterious ways...

 

[HandshakeLine]

We'd better start seeing more of the Size Queen line if things start getting Isle-esque in the next 20.

 

[mpp9]

Gonna continue to golf during Pens games. You’re welcome.
