Post-Game Talk: GAME 66 - "Winner Winner Penguin Dinner" - BRUINS 5 Pittsburgh 1

[Dr Hook]

I'm good with a guy in his role. Not sure about Pat just yet as he's definitely on the far side of his career, but hopefully he can bring something and I am happy to give him a chance. As for the rest of it, it's gamesmanship and it goes with the territory. Very few guys have I actually hated and that was for being dirtbags who were out to deliberately injure opponents on a regular basis. Maroon is not one of those guys any more than Brad is- some questionable/despicable heat-of-the-moment stuff has happened for sure from both, but in general that isn't their game.

It's easy to get caught up in the hysterics of trade deadlines and such. " What can be done to improve the club etc?"

Sometimes, the human element of it all is overshadowed by the business. These cats bond together in the locker room, have families etc. Looking at the past few days, i'm reminded of the notion that, some of the best moves to be made, are the ones that you dont make. We'll see where it all takes us ultimately.

Only 1 matinee game left at the Garden this year, April 6th vs. Florida.

Could be for first place in division

Yea that was my first thought as well but we'll see.

League will just rig another draft lottery for them

Have to wait for the next generational talent though. Lemeuix to Crosby to ?

 

[whatsbruin]

If he is good gm he is trading him in the offseason

You have to.
Sway seems the better of the two and is younger.
Pretty sure they have a decent netminder in Prov, he can play 25 to 35 games.
The B's have some needs and he's the best chip that causes least amount of loss.

Crosby was on the wrong bench tonight.

He did not look happy

My sister got some free tickets for the Habs game and while I need to get up at 6am and work in springfield the next day…couldn’t turn that one down. They better win!!

The story of this off-season may be where does Crosby go. I can't see him back in Pittsburgh. A true competitor like Crosby willing to ride out the remainder of his career not competing for a championship? I can't see it.

I don't know what the Pens are doing actually. You trade your best prime age winger for assets? So you've commited to something, a retool or a rebuild. Is a retool even possible? Tricky situation when the big three are still your best players.

If only there was a team out there that needs a 1C that can put a 50 goal winger and a former team Canada line mate together with him….a team where penguins ownership can still generate revenue by shipping Crosby to them


If only!!!

The speculation is already that Boston and Colorado would be his preferred destinations.

I'd love to see Crosby force a trade to Boston where Pittsburgh get back pennies on the dollar. Payback for the Iginla fiasco.
