GDT: Game 1 | Yotes vs Penguins - October 13th - "7:00 PM"

[The Grim Reaper]

I'd take modern day Petr Sykora or Ryan Malone over Kapanen.

 

[Bnat66]

So many chances

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I think this is the Zucker-Geno-Rust combo JR had envisioned when he overpayed for Zucker.

Two buzzsaw guys with offensive potential doing two-way work and Geno.

 

[Zirakzigil]

ZMR line passes the eye test to me

I’m sure that dirty Russian will only get like 3 even strength assists and leach all his points off the PP again

 

[Bnat66]

I'd take modern day Petr Sykora or Ryan Malone over Kapanen.

What about Rico Fata?

 

[Jacob]

Josh Brolin.

 

[SomeDude]

The Zucker and Geno pairing. 1 out of 89 times, it works every time.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think this is the Zucker-Geno-Rust combo JR had envisioned when he overpayed for Zucker.

Shocking: when both Zucker and Malkin are healthy, they actually mesh well together.

Who would have thought

Zucker looks awesome

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I was thinking about this at dinner:

If a Penguins player scores a hat trick I'll shotgun an IC Light.

 

[SEALBound]

Hard to complain about too much. Top 6 looks great.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

What about Rico Fata?

I'm not that crazy

 

[DearDiary]

Never trade a 1st round pick. We could miss out on the next POJ.

If was a GM every 1st round pick outside the top 8 or so would be getting traded for younger players that other teams have soured on.

 

[dogthateats]

Zucker playing good in a contract year? Weird

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Well they maximized their window to pile it on before the game settled down.

 

[vodeni]

POJ could use a little bit patience and support

zucker's problems with malkin weren't always health-related. he wasn't playing the way you need to as a complement and wasn't trusting his game, deferring to Geno. This Zucker is a buzz saw and he adds a ton to the line

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Any Dmen going to be available at the deadline to replace Dumoulin?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Exactly. This Zucker is what Zucker was in Minnesota and the Zucker that the Penguins thought they were getting.

 

[66-30-33]

Guy on Zona.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

He just can't process the game at a NHL speed and is super mistake prone. Which I imagine is kinda related to him having problems processing the game.

Just needs time and patience, but I still don't see a ceiling above like a Ruhwedel-tier player.

Genuinely don't give a shit if he's claimed on waivers. It's Zoho all over again.

I think that this duo is going to win us the cup. One period is all I needed to see.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Exactly. This Zucker is what Zucker was in Minnesota and the Zucker that the Penguins thought they were getting.

agreed. i feel like he made the shift at different points a couple seasons ago but wasn't consistent and then couldn't stay healthy. but then in the POs he was hurt but was still a force. I have a lot of confidence in the line with him playing his game and Geno playing his

 

[WickedWrister]

I wish we could play the Coyotes every night… seriously what is their time of possession through 20 minutes lol…. 3:00?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

POJ's issue in the NHL is the speed and processing plays.

But apparently I'm a fool for wanting him to get some NHL games to see if he can adjust to it.
