Feel like it’ll get a little chippy.

Can't wait for Sid to score #500 in front of 30 people and a moose.

Naw, MM isn’t going to let him…this is his coming out party….6-1 Ottawa…

 

[Zirakzigil]

I don’t like the poll options. What a out trye fans who want to tank for 1st overall?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I want us to win games until we suck like the Penguins before Crosby.

The Penguins before Mario.

Prolonged sucking like Buffalo though no way.


One other exception would be playoff seeding. If losing a game secured a better Match up. I'd be open to it.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Fantastic job as always, @dogthateats !!

Add something when I get home.

The Experts...what about 'The Experts?

Penataur?

@dogthateats

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pentaurs?

Sounds like something toys dubs at a Vegas strip club. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas @Ugene Malkin !!! The allstar weekend is over.

Love Sully, and don't want another coach, but if I could have one thing to pick on...would be that even after the win, playing on your heels all night and when its obvious that you have a totally useless 4th line, just for the chuckles give us some fresh blood and try our new toy Big puusy. It may surprise you, maybe slide him on third line and get Zo on the fourth, something just to ignite some change...in otherwise pretty inept bottom 6.
Geno out of the Covid protocol, will probably play on Sunday...

After last nights turnaround and Sid one goal away, I'm kinda pissed I won't be there now

Not only is there a good chance Sid gets the goal away from PPG, he might do it in front of 500 Sens fans, what a pile of horseshit

f***ing covid restrictions.

I think you'll miss out on a little more because, he's due for a hatty on top of that.

The usual overkill on career moment games.

 

[wheelz87]

For real though Sid needs to pocket a few assists the next couple games then get it at home vs philly

So has the board come to a consensus on the Malkin situation? Was he the problem all along? Was he holding Heinen and the team back?

I will go along with whatever's been decided, and say socially acceptable things on the topic moving forward.

tl;dr -- of course it's all his fault, silly!

 

[AuroraBorealis]

To be completely serious about this subject just for a moment I'm kind of at the point where I hope he moves on. Outside of like a handful of people here it's not so bad. But across the broader spectrum of Penguins fans (and media... maybe even more important as they are the ones telling these people what to think) there seems to be a sizable portion that chooses to harp on every tiny inconsequential mistake all game and then for days afterwards. If he were sitting at like 4 points and one goal at this juncture then whatever. Deserved. But he's over a PPG and has helped the team's powerplay immensely. And obviously yeah... the team slumping a bit is just an unfortunate coincidence timed to his return. I would hope any serious-minded person without an agenda already knows that, of course (this is far from aimed your direction... I know you're joking). I figured it would be the case... they were on a huge hot run and the season wasn't even half over yet. There was going to be an inevitable letdown.

But at the risk of sounding too dramatic if this is going to be the case for three more seasons I don't know if my sanity can take it. Plus the petty side of me wants to see these... fans... get their wish so they can get a nice eyefull of what that actually looks like in practice. Go ahead... make Jeff Carter your 2C! Or maybe pay someone in FA like 8+ million to do a worse job. Terrific plan.

Sorry. End rant.

tl;dr -- of course it's all his fault, silly!

Ah ok. We want him traded then. f*** yeah let's do it!

I was concerned yesterday after we got outshot 45-25 without him - and got carried by Jarry - that the team has just taken a step back as a whole. For a moment I thought: "what if there's something bigger going on here?"
But then I realized it must be the lingering psychological damage of having Malkin in the lineup those 3 weeks that negated the reprieve of the All Star break, and everything became clear.

I mean yeah it's great that Geno has gotten a ton of lucky points on the PP, but it's hard to ignore when he single handedly nerfs the team's ES production and destroys the collective defensive effort.

Trade him to Chicago, at long last.

you must be a season ticket holder…

I tried to buy them but a red flag came up during my attempted purchase. The sales representative said I was listed as a "keyboard expert" in their system and blocked the transaction.
Supposedly they received an anonymous tip.

Oh it’s definitely happening vs the Sens. The superstitions are just too obvious for it not to.

I read this as "of course it's all his salt, filly" and had to re-read the post you responded to to see what in the blue hell you were talking about.

Sorry to hear this. May you pass through to the heavenly land of section 362

...If he were to do it Sunday in NJ, I'd miss it only because my daughter is scheduled for her 2nd vaccine dose on Wednesday...3 days after the game.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Not gonna be easy, the Senators are playing some real solid hockey lately, hopefully Murray let's in a few softies...

Let's Go Pens!!
