GDT: Game 51|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers|Welcome back! Hope we knock the RUST off quick!

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's legitimately terrible that Kahun went down right around the time Sid came back. Really needed to see if those two worked well on the top line so JR knew exactly how much work he has to do between now and October. Simon isn't it, Hornqvist isn't it, AG/ZAR/whoever else isn't the RW for that 1RW spot.

 

[LittleSpoon]

Ruh and Johnson looking pretty bad so far tonight. Especially ruh. Not impressed with McCann union that first line tonight either. Just need to get some shots on net here though and generate a bit of momentum. Plenty of hockey left to play boys.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Who does everyone have for the Super bowl? Personally, I want to see Andy Reid win one.

 

[JTG]

Galchenyuk is the epitome of a player who has lost his mojo. He is a f***ing shell of a player right now. It's sort of sad, IMO. He has talent. He is so unconfident.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah McCann is not a winger.

Kinda like how Galchenyuk isn't a center...or an NHL player.

Yeah I like McCann as a C, but with the winger depth being the way it is, no other option but when guys get back, I would like to see him back at 3C and keep Bjugslug as a RW.

 

[LOGiK]

Ironic username is ironic.

Excellent point.
Good discussion.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Now to get them on target

This coaching staff's obsession with Ruhwedel makes no sense to me. I think Riikola is head and shoulders better than him.

He never had a mojo.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Why waste Marino on Johnson?

And why is our best blueliner, by miles, getting 3rd pairing minutes?

*whisper* Move Schultz at the deadline, it's been staring you in the face for about a year now, JR.

 

[Turin]

McCann looks like 50% of his normal self on wing. It doesn't look good.

JR seems to understand that he’s a centre. Sully needs to stop that experiment.

Or just don't bring him back. That'd be cool too.

Who do you play with Sid then?

 

[Andy99]

Pens need to start dumping and chasing to beat the trap...or this game will go the same way as last game....Sully has to craft the lines to maximize possession...we’re not going to beat them off the rush...also we have to generate some PPs for us and capitalize on them...

 

[JTG]

He never had a mojo.

30 goal season means he had something.

 

[Turin]

Who do you play with Sid then?

Simon and Hornqvist. Just for now.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Who do you play with Sid then?

ZAR.

 

[JTG]

Who do you play with Sid then?

Tanev.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Tanev.

Worth a shot.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Who do you play with Sid then?

I mean, Blueger actually looked good with Sid on the LW a few games ago. But really, I would go Tanev and Simon as his wingers in this game and put McCann with Malkin or put him back at C and shift a few things down.

Simon, Crosby, Tanev
Aston-reese (barf), Malkin, Rust
Galchenyuk, McCann, Hornqvist
Agozzino, Blueger, Angello

 

[JTG]

Worth a shot.

If Sid can do what he did with Dupuis, he could turn Tanev into a 30 goal, 60 point player.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Worth a shot.

What kind of shot?

 

[vodeni]

its not easy for sully, Jake and Dom left a big hole especially since no one stepping up...

switch ZAR and Chucky

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I hate that this is still a thing, there's a lot of us black folk that don't think this shit is conducive to being a better society.

I refer to Samuel L Jackson's take on "Black History Month" aka "Guilt for f***ing people over, but not doing it for the others they've f***ed over."

You know how you make things inclusive to everyone? Stop making them feel special for making it.

 

[Andy99]

What kind of shot?

whiskey...
