Maybe Letang should have just gave up after his first two attempts failed at taking Brouwer down.

Yeah you're right, it was Letang's fault that Brouwer took him down. Yep.

 

[mad4comp]

Then what would you call it? Oh, let me guess, it was a beautiful hit and Perron decided to take his skate off and try to stab the Caps players for a clean hit?

Yea enjoy the loss bud, i know it hurts. How many losses is that against the metro this year for the pens?

No need to exaggerate every little play... "body slam" ROFL.

 

[DarkHorse]

Rule #1) If the Pens are involved in a scrum, it's never their fault.
Rule #2) Because Mario Lemieux loudly cries about goons, the Pens can't be accused of being a goon squad.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Toffoli being a terror against the Hawks as always.

 

[MrShift4]

Kings should waive Brown next

 

[4thTierSport]

Don't engage someone multiple times and except no reaction.

 

[penguins2946*]

Don't engage someone multiple times and except no reaction.

So laying a clean hit on Brouwer means Brouwer can slam Letang to the ice and it be justified. I can't say that's the first time I saw that stupid logic, it was here at the Orpik-Thornton incident as well.

Rule #1) If the Pens are involved in a scrum, it's never their fault.
Rule #2) Because Mario Lemieux loudly cries about goons, the Pens can't be accused of being a goon squad.

And the other side:

Rule #1) If the Pens are involved in a scrum, it is always only their fault
Rule #2) Because Lemieux loudly cries about goons, anytime anything moderately borderline happens, it makes Lemieux a hypocrite.

Again, what would you call it then? Since body slam is too crazy of a term, what would you call it?

@wilw: Staples is at least half Blackhawks fans. That was the loudest cheer for a visiting team's goal I've ever heard here.

I sure hope Letang is OK after that brutal brutal takedown.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

I hate Jeff Carter.

 

[Claypool]

Did the Penguins really just play Crosby nearly 20 minutes in his first game back from injury?

 

[mad4comp]

Man Letang must be really hurt after that one... really, you think Brouwer just lifted him up and threw him back?

Yup....despite employing Cooke, Downie and now Lapierre in the past few years. And a tryout from Carcillo. And the dirty Neal.

I have no issue with the Pens adding these guys if the want to add a different dimension than their star players.

But don't sit there all high and mighty thinking that none of your guys are just as bad as others.

I said it before....in games where emotion is involved, the Pens always lose more than they win. They excel in low emotion, chess like games. And adding Downie and now Lapierre seems to go against what will help them win more.

But I guess we will see in the playoffs...who knows...maybe it pays off. Downie does has skill...but he also has that crazy gene and you never know when it takes over.

It always is. Lotta transplants in Los Angeles. Snowbirds too.

He played 23 minutes in his last game before the break while he was injured so why not?

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

I have so much hatred for these two franchises my head is about to spin off. I don't know what to do. I'm screaming at both teams.

One must win...

 

[bluefan]

Don't let his words get to you too much. This is the guy who's convinced Trouba tried to decapitate Perron last night.

And come on Hawks...don't let the Kings crawl back

So are you going to answer the question?

 

[hisgirlfriday]

So are you going to answer the question?

Dude do you still need to fight with him about this?

Here's what you're looking for. It was a takedown not a slamdown. A slamdown would need a lift up before dropping.

 

[mrv52]

So are you going to answer the question?

Letang almost died.

How's that?

 

[bluefan]

Kane sniffing the hatty.

 

[Dave is a killer]

This Kings-Hawks game is going to be really high tempo and possibly ... an elimination game for the Kings

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Kane sniffing the hatty.

The Gordie Howe hatty?

Right there with you. All I can hope is they get more physical with each other since the Hawks get to wait while the Ducks play tomorrow.

I don't want to wake the giant. But this Kings team looks bad. They didn't look this bad the past few reg seasons when they were "coasting".
