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

[Gurglesons]

remember when @Empoleon8771 said I had an agenda against POJ. How the turntables turn.

 

[Pancakes]

What game are you watching? A turnover that led directly to a breakaway against and a penalty is a shit period.



If he plays like this going forward, he shouldn't be playing because he's not a NHL caliber player.

They don't need to give him an extended look just because he was a former top prospect of theirs. If he stinks for 5-10 games, you don't just keep playing him because "maybe he'll be good if we wait".

Well yeah. They can't wait around forever with him. But he should get a good 10 game or so look.

What's everyone's stance on Dumo?

Seems to be having a tough time escaping the forecheck

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I hope they bring back Steigy to announce for Crosby's retirement game.

The difference is that POJ looked decent last year, but has since looked like crap.

What's everyone's stance on Dumo?

Patience. Don't think he's declined as much as some people claim. It will be difficult to replace him on that 1st pairing with someone who has chemistry with Letang and is relatively cheap.
I'd do it if there's a clear option in free agency, but those guys get overpaid out the nose.

Very meh.

You mean in the 4 shifts since then?

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

pp1 still too cute

 

[Empoleon8771]

He also looked bad in the pre-season.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Sullivan trying not to laugh about Malkin lol

 

[Flying Dego]

Found the Sid wrist injury replay guys

 

[SomeDude]

He also looked bad in the pre-season.

So did the entire team.

 

[Bnat66]

Wouldn't it be nice if this lead would hold up

 

[Zirakzigil]

The fact we’re 1/4 on the PP is unacceptable

 

[Empoleon8771]

So did the entire team.

The difference was that the veterans were coasting to get back in game shape while POJ was playing to get a spot in the NHL.

It's baffling to me that people on here are defending POJ's performance so far.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I can’t remember the last time Crosby had 5 shots on goal this early in a game.

And I f***ing love it.

 

[Victor Z]

I'm going to keep belaboring this point, but if POJ gives you 5 games like this, you can't justify keeping him on the NHL roster.

Can't risk punting him back to WBS because "asset management". The team which had to pay to get rid of Jack Johnson, Nick Bjugstad, etc. now worries about asset management regarding some AHL d-man being plucked off waivers?

Not as baffling as how you continue to go all in on one opinion for a day and completely 180 and take the same hard stance on the other side of the argument the next day. A little nuance never hurt anyone.

 

[Trade]

Kap bro please do something

 

[dogthateats]

If POJ scored a goal today is he still bad? Or does only the first period count?

 

[WickedWrister]

Another bad series of plays by PO

 

[Zirakzigil]

If POJ scored a goal today is he still bad? Or does only the first period count?

Depends. Is it because Sid bounces one off his face or an actual nice goal?

Breaking news: you can change opinions when you get more information. Crazy, I know.

His career path has been set in stone as of 8:04 pm EST tonight. I don’t make the rules.
