GDT: Blackhawks @ Penguins / 1900EDT

You know your team sucks when Kevin “turtle” Hayes scores on a breakaway against you and is named first star…

Fair point, but let me ask you something. How good of a team are are you where by he gets 1st star honors?

Well that too lol…we can thank our top 2-3 coach for playing him so much…

In general that's a good thing if we're trying to lose. Problem is they aint not tryin. Hayes goes out there at repugnantly scores two goals. It's a bizarro world!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Fingers crossed the Pens lose out but we'll see. Would be sick to end up in the top 5, but probably gonna need a bit of lotto luck at this rate.

 

[Rakell67]

It'd be nice to lose out and seems like a realistic possibility given the teams we're playing. Though I guess the Caps might decide to rest their guys against us.

The Bruins and Devils have been really struggling I guess but historically those teams give us a bad time. Bruins are also kinda due to win some games after their awful slide though so maybe they'll beat our ass.

Caps might try because of the Presidents Trophy?

So 2 points, lost one of our best prospects probably for the year, but at least we improved Kevin Hayes stat line.

Pretty disastrous game.

 

[Guins71]

Convinced some on here in 1983 would be rooting for Mike Bullard to score his 55th goal over drafting Mario Lemiuex. Short sighted

I realize these prospects are not Lemiuex but top 4-5 is what you wanted this year with Sid still around to mentor and limited chances to draft this high

 

[OtherThingsILike]

The Blackhawks played so poorly this game that I'm not sure even the Baby Pens would've lost last night.
Maybe the lineup we're running at the moment, without McGroarty and Koivunen.

What happened? (Prospect?)

McGroaty took a puck to the foot PKing. Left in a boot.

Oh no, not losing McGroarty for, wait let me check the calendar, 3 games! What ever will the Pens do to fill that giant gap.

You’re losing him for the entirety of the AHL playoffs which would absolutely be good for his development.

You need him to get PO experience in the AHL.

 

[Khelandros]

So almost like he shouldn't have been called up for meaningless games. Got it.

 

[Ulf5]

Hopefully the reason Sullivan was “pulled into a meeting” after the game and Quinn had to do the presser, was that someone was canning him for putting McG in the line of fire!
Lol

He was signing his new 20 year extension with the club's improved play as of late. Full NMC included. Dubas was also spotted nearby.

The Matt Nieto insurance policy is already in place.
