Post-Game Talk: Cole's RETURN OF PLUS/MINUS: Pens/Boltzzz

[66-30-33]

Why would you put a guy who has feasted on the man advantage his entire career, and is known for being less than defensively, into the game almost entirely in short handed situations?

I dunno. Why would Bylsma put Iginla on his off wing? we get some dumb people coaching this team.

 

[ChaosAgent]

I'm never not gonna advocate it.

As Sid/Geno age they need more "heavy lifting" type of players and less skilled finishers. We should be willing to exchange offensive genius for better athletes.

In addition, we need a shakeup.

In addition again, we must keep Zucker.

In addition for the third time, I want no part of the 7 year, $56M deal coming Jake's way in the middle of next season.

There's no stopping this train. Hextall extension when

 

[chethejet]

Any win for two points this time of year is good. Tampa may not be the team most think it is. But they could be coasting a little here. But I have to admit, the trade deal just was so deflating that Hextall is so bad that Pens potential upgrades just were never going to happen.

I wonder if McGinn's dad was originally invited to be in the road trip. Like "sorry Mr. McGinn, but your son is a dissapoint."

+++ Penguins fans in Tampa
++ PK- that is a LETHAL PP on Tampa. Granlund made a weak ass play on Stamkos goal. But otherwise PK+Jarry was good.
+Jarry- second coming of MAF I swear with amazing saves one minute and weak five holes allowed the next. But the saves were more impressive tonight and he deserves a plus.

-Time for Rakell to be off PP1. Wish the spot could be filled by Chychrun, oh well. Maybe Granlund can help but I have more faith in Ty Smith being the answer if we can fit him, maybe 7D.

a dad had jersey no.23, no idea who that was...

I still want to know the story there. I saw #23 high-fiving the other Dads and was like "seriously?"

You are a horrible person.

We can fit it in when Carter’s hit rolls off and the cap goes up.

There was like 5 of them.

Zucker will get like a 5x5 extension so his contract will be right in line with Rakell's contract. The only thing that may potentially jeopardize that is the situation going around with Bally Sports and other RSNs declaring for bankruptcy, but that just impacts the cap going forward.

If the cap goes to $83.5 million, you're sitting with $20.9 million in cap space with 7 F, 6 D and a goalie after dumping McGinn. $5 million for Zucker and $1 million each for Smith, Poehling and O'Connor brings them to 10 F, 7 D and 1 G with $12.9 million in cap space. If you go with both POJ and Smith as regulars next year, I think you have the cap space to be able to afford to bring back Zucker while also adding a good goalie.

Love beating Tampa Bay. Would love a crack at them again in the playoffs. Lotta whiny players on that team, Kucherov and Hedman are bitches, and Cooper is an arrogant prick.

Yeah I said it. Fired up.

I think it said Fazio or something like that on the jesrsey

I don't think dumb. Stubborn maybe.

Like he is the brilliant guy that can fit the square peg in the round hole. Instead of simply putting players where they can best succeed.

You would think that he would at least give the power play guy a whirl or two on the power play.

I miss Barbero. RIP!!!

 

[Victor Z]

Though Jannault was a non-factor. Barely noticeable. Not that it really is indicative of anything

Against a team like the Penguins, there's nothing for him to do.

Jeannot was acquired to match up against teams with actual toughness, and accommodate the style of play you see in the playoffs when the refs swallow the whistles (or do they do that only against the Penguins?).

The cap isn't going up.

AT&T SportsNet, Another Regional Sports Network, Could Be Declaring Bankruptcy This Month

Two RSNs, Bally Sports and AT&T SportsNet may declare bankruptcy this month. Sports teams impacted could be looking at streaming video, local broadcast or produce the games themselves.

www.forbes.com

In addition, we need the shake up and we need the assets. With Marino gone Jake is the only one who can bring the assets in the summer that could have easily landed us Chychrun a couple days ago.

MP's dad looks younger than MP wtf

Polyamorous family? McGinns got 5 dads

The assets that would have landed us Chychrun were 1st round picks from bad teams. What bad team is paying for Jake?

Pens Danza slap the Bolts and my 3rd jersey arrives.

The 23 stands for 2023 and are worn by tge staffs dads. But I’m no keyboard experts so take my thought as you’d like.

 

[Gurglesons]

Polyamorous family? McGinns got 5 dads

I think it was like coaches or training staff

 

[Pancakes]

I thought Heinen played well tonight. If we can get last year's Heinen for the second half of this year that'd be big
