General Off-Day Thread (goalie talk, so hot right now)

[Pancakes]

I hope this is the last we ever see of TJ in a Pens uniform.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

It f***ing better be.

I don't care where you are as an organization... you don't keep a guy like that hanging around. It's a little ridiculous it's taken this long to move on him considering the writing was on the wall last year.

 

[ColePens]

It's a bit frustrating because it wasn't hard to see things like the Jack Johnson signing. But the Jarry one was even more obvious than that. There was nothing pointing to him being a great goalie consistently.

Man.. the Graves signing and the Jarry signing L O L

 

[SomeDude]

Can’t wait to see how this is anyone but Kyle Dubas’ fault.

How can a guy that handed out $52 million on like his 10th day on the job to someone who is now on waivers and another who can’t even get in the lineup for one of the worst defensive corps in the league not be on the hot seat?

 

[ColePens]

Yeah I mean look... it's fine to say the Dubas hire at the beginning was solid. I won't fault management for that. But at this point it's terrible. Let's call it quits.

 

[Andy99]

Ding dong the witch is dead…only cost them a potential playoff spot lol…hopefully whoever comes up plays well

Next on the agenda: fire the damned coach

 

[SomeDude]

The real frustrating part is going to be when they keep him up here after he clears waivers to continue moping and sucking.

Cool, bring on the losing streak. The more, the merrier.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Total dogshit asset management to sign this fraud and not sell high after that mistake



This team is operated by clowns

Can we waive sullivan too? And yeah, f***in can dubas. FSG has to be wanting to divest at this point, now that liverpool is okay again

At least this year they didn't have to go through the drama of a first round playoff series before 35 choked in the end.

Obviously you don’t understand his plan.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

This Jarry news gives me life.

 

[IcedCapp]

Yeah this is the first time i've felt invested in this team in a while. Not just the team, humanity. Maybe we can actually overcome our differences and make a better future for everyone.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This Jarry news gives me life.

It's kinda sad but me too.

I was more or less checked out entirely prior to this.

To be fair I'm betting I will be again, shortly. But this is at least a tiny sliver of hope that this organization isn't COMPLETELY moony-brained.

oh, yeah, we're still totally ass, and in a week we're all going to be out until 2028, but the next 7 days of copium-fueled delusion are gonna be SO much fun! it'll be like 2018 or something.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

You've been missed @IcedCapp

 

[IcedCapp]

It's okay, one of you snipers will eventually get me

(i love you, too)

Yeah I'll be riding this high right until I have to witness the Who's Who of dogshit forwards and their "there is no going TOO wide in the OZ!" offensive strat their illustrious coach has cooked up for them next game.

 

[3074326]

I get why the signing was made, but that’s about all I can say about it. It has been a disaster. I can’t necessarily defend the signing even understanding why it happened.

 

[Turin]

Jarry was both the best goalie on the market technically and also somebody who most of us here wanted to move on from to try out anybody else

 

[cygnus47]

We were "trying" to compete, so we had to have a "legit" goalie without using assets to get him.

The decision made sense in a way. Just a shame that it worked out horribly as expected of every goalie contract between 3M and 8M. More proof in the bucket of goalies being (a) top 3 in the world, or (b) completely random or bad year to year and not worth more than a 2 year contract.

 

[HandshakeLine]

This is why you never spend money on the goal. Useless position.

honestly, you would be better served carrying an enforcer than paying more than league minimum for goaltending.

It rules that we have the dumbest owners and GM actually

 

[the penitent]

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who has followed this team knew that Jarry should not have been given that much term. If it meant letting him walk, so be it. If we could see that, how could Dubas not have seen it? Jarry lost confidence several years ago and never got it back. While he may have improved from a positioning standpoint, he was fallen off dramatically from both an athleticism and mental standpoint. Barring a miracle, this signing will haunt the Pens for years

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

I don't care for the new arena.

It sucks. Hockey should smell like a urinal. Thank Gods we're moving to Delaware.
