Poor Morozov. Just needed 3 more points.Dick Tarnstrom is like when people say Mikael Granlund is good because he scored points on the Sharks. Classic example of "someone has to score".

He wasn't as bad as some seem to remember but wasn't as good as people thought he was at the time.
He wasn't an amazing defender but he wasn't a liability. He wasn't a push over but wasn't knocking anyone around either.
He read the play well from the point, had a quick accurate shit, could throw the puck up ice pretty well and onto someone's stick pretty reliability while in the offensive zone.
Tarnstrom was the reason I recently joked that the karlsson power play until this season should be basically O'Connor, Hayes, and puusy up front forcing EK to do it all himself like he did in SJ.
That he was good or that he was never good? Which history are we going with again?I like how the Penguins fan’s revisionist history of Mikael Granlund still persists.
I mean, both right.That he was never good. You’d think they’d be less harsh given the Sullivan hate since he was buried on the 3rd line and didn’t get a chance with Malkin and former teammate - Zucker. The guy has been a productive top six scorer before and after his time in Pittsburgh but people have delusions about him being garbage.
He wasn’t put in a position to succeed, so I can’t blame the player much. Maybe the angst comes from losing a 2nd round pick for him but it just seems odd that HF Pens fans have such a hang up about the guy and invented a backstory about him always being bad. I visit here pretty often but don’t bother to post much.
He was one of the better players on the powerplay, none of whom would have seen much time on our current one...which isn't much better...somehow...
Counterpoint: Lindy RuffAnyone that has a 20+ year career in hockey must have done something well.
I play NHL online and everytime I mess up my shot and it hits the chest I call it a TK, stillThe Pens PP was actually pretty good even with those terrible teams. In 03/04, 12 of his 16 goals were on the PP and his ES pts were 14 to 38 power play points.
He was to sniping shin pads as Tyler Kennedy is to sniping goalie’s logos.
Morozov went back to the KHL to become a national legend, not fighting for NHL table scraps.For 2 seasons, Dicky Tarns was goated. 103pts in 174 games, the team was an absolute shit show that year (well that entire "X-Gen" bs). They had what, 23 wins that year? Lol. It's funny to think that the Pens were bad that year, but they still had more wins than Crosby's 1st season.
This is what happens when you let cronyism dictate your f***ing hires, good ole Mario.
You want a job old teammate??
The only good to come out of that year he had 52pts and lead the team was that Aleksey Morozov was finally used correctly for 3 seasons straight and he then promptly said go f*** yourselves and left for good.
It was weird, I have read some things but I mean was he secretly told he wasn't in their plans? Was his contract demands astronomical? Did he really just like being back home during the lockout and said nah fam I'm good? He was one that I really wished would come back in Sid's first few years, even just to play with Geno.
You started well and then turned tard.Morozov went back to the KHL to become a national legend, not fighting for NHL table scraps.
Weigh those two options.
Tristan Jarry should weigh his country fat ass vs Sullivan's demands.
Sorry, Mrs. Jarry. Let me try again:You started well and then turned tard.
Never go full tard.
It's the kind of dumb f*** replies blokes here have just to hate a goalie that likely needs a new goalie coach but whatever let's just devolve into shit like "country fat ass."Jarry is fat?
Hey one of the best goalies of all time had the moniker of fatso (Marty B). If TJ decides to start pounding some nachos between starts it wouldn't be the worst thing.It's the kind of dumb f*** replies blokes here have just to hate a goalie that likely needs a new goalie coach but whatever let's just devolve into shit like "country fat ass."
