I need to remember to bet the house against the Pens whenever they have the lead

btw Pixies @Gurglesons you were right about Bunting. At least so far. He's reverted to turd mode. If this is how he's going to play this year then I wish Dubas had arranged something else with that trade.

Dubas probably had to take some salary back to make the Jake trade work no matter what but bleh. He would have been better off with a one year expiring cap dump the way Bunting looks.

it’s the new Hornqvist for Neal!

Crosby really negotiated hard with Tom Werner, forcing him to say "we'll be better" before he committed to finish the final 5 years of his hockey career missing the playoffs.

This is not dignified. This is a hideous death.

Yes, but he didn’t get Werner to complete the sentence…he was going to say “we’ll be better than a beer league team comprised of overweight 50-year-olds”…

There was a time when losses would garner more pages than a win. Losses are so expected now that the postgame threads will have a lot less pages than they used to

If he really is hurt they shouldn't be playing him. He's killing them out there. Just about anyone they put in would play better than he is.

They could probably put Kevin Hayes on defense and get a more inspired performance than what EK is bringing.

Don’t disagree

Sid was just so hoodwinked!

Well, the tank is on now. This is a bottom of the barrel team now that 58 and 65 suck. I expect Crosby to be a little bit better, maybe like last year's version of Malkin. Still extremely uninspired/unimpactful and doesn't drive play at all. Our 2nd best winger is Drew O'Conner. This is a recipe for failure.

Pepperidge farms remembers remembers when we put Brooks Orpik at forward

Bunting looks like he's had the life sucked right out of him, and I honestly wouldnt be shocked if it's Sully asking him to "just play", and not try beeing physical or getting under opponents skin, which is basically what makes him effective..

Bunting not being on the PP is just so classic Sullivan. Stubborn till the day he dies

Not really, they need to keep losing.

Vancouver completely stopped playing after that 4-2 lead. They still won in regulation, rather comfortably. The difference being, if our teams stops playing like that with 4-2 lead, it manages to lose the game without even gettting a loser point.

No, he just has absolutely no skill whatsoever, and we are getting caved badly we don't have extended OZ possession where he can set up in front.

SUFFERING!

Sid has been awful this season.

Andy99 · 2024-10-27T01:04:42-0400

Well, AB asked how many points the Pens would get during this western Canada road trip and some of us said 1…it’s depressing to be right lol…

I would of never thought I'd say this but Graves is playing a lot better than EK this season.

Will Hunting · 2024-10-27T01:06:51-0400

Gonna repeat this again. Erik Karlsson + Michael Bunting + Tristan Jarry + Ryan Graves + Matt Grzelcyk = 27M of capspace. You know what those players have in common? Well, they are all KD´s acquisitions or signings and they are all nonfactors or negative impacts

Also another equation: Karlsson + Bunting + Jarry + Graves + Grzelcyk = 27M = Connor McDavid + Leon Draisaitl

If you hide EK65 in 16 minutes of ice time a night, I’m sure he’d look better too.

I guess playing six more minutes a night does make a difference.

Which in turn will make us brutal and help garner higher draft picks.

Tank. No one can save this season now.

When you're best players are as old as ours that was quite inevitable.

Why? He can't turn back the clock on our cores age. We need to keep losing.

NO HELP WILL BE FORTHCOMING! THE CORE WANTED SULLY,

NOW THEY PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graves is fine this year. He should take Grzelcyk's spot and rejoin the top-4 imo.

Great then, congrats to Kyle Dubas, I guess?? He looks serviceable playing on the 3rd pair taking 4.5M per year for 5 games or so? Even then, I am not sure about him being fine.
