Let's
Go
Pens!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

For the love of all things, Sullivan...swap ZAR and f***ing Lafferty.

 

[Gurglesons]

Back 2 Backzzz

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

For the love of all things, Sullivan...swap ZAR and ****ing Lafferty.

At the very least, swap ZAR and Simon. The only times Simon's looked halfway decent this season that I can recall is either next to God-mode Sid and a handful of shifts next to Kahun. Any other time and Simon's basically just taking up space.

Also, keeping ZAR on the designated checking line seems to make the most sense, given his strengths and weaknesses as a player.

No f*** SIMON, HE'S TRASH.

I have never been so passionate about someone that sucks as much and as often as Simon. This stupid f*** holds the puck too long, has absolutely zero vision to his linemates unless its Crosby and is just such a useless f***ing hack. I would love to never see that piece of shit ever play for the Penguins ever again.


I am trying very hard to hold back on Simon.

How dare you @Tom Hanks

Delete this from the internet immediately!

Amazing GDT Ugene!

​

Because you attempt the most daring maneuvers

​

 

[Tom Hanks]

I assume Blandisi (and another forward) gets called back up today as we only have 11 healthy forwards on the roster. Unless someone sneakily comes back off IR.

 

[Clare2904]

Blandisi, Di Paul and Czczczczczcuman recalled

 

[Andy99]

Blandisi, Di Paul and Czczczczczcuman recalled

I hope Di Pauli gets in a damn game....for Simon (but we all know it’ll be AG)...

 

[Andy99]

Hockey is finally back! Woo hoo!!! So excited....

This much restraint?

 

[NMK11]

That's some nice center depth you got there, Nashville.

That being said, how many teams have ever had their top two scorers be defensemen?

They have 2 more on the wings.

San Jose?

 

[Dominance]

How much longer must we wait for Crosby’s return

 

[Andy99]

How much longer must we wait for Crosby’s return

I’m guessing somewhere between Jan 2 and Jan 10 game he returns...

 

[Tom Hanks]

What years?

 

[Gurglesons]

I feel like tonight and tomorrow are going to be disappointing.

 

[Andy99]

So the team had to travel to NSH this morning because of that stupid break and practiced for the first time since Saturday...lol...I’m expecting another horrid start where they look like they’re skating in quicksand followed by a loss...that schedule is absolutely ridiculous ...thanks NHL...
