Never heard of him, expect him to score eleven billion goals though.


If your nephew was asking what you thought, why would you pick any other place? They have a history of developing these types and if you can hit the NHL in the next 3 years, you have 2 separate All-World type Centers you could end up skating alongside to get a bigger 2nd contract.

Dartmouth alumni who have gone on to play for the Penguins include Tanner Glass, Nick Johnson, Lee Stempniak, and Ben Lovejoy.

6'3" 200 lbs Cy Young candidate, probably just have the kid stand in front of the net and have Crosby practice his bank shot from the corner.

Can't wait to watch Myers smash him into the f***ing glass.

Man do they think they’re more important than they really are...

They realize their jobs aren't as necessary as they used to be and they're staring down their own destiny. The league puts out the box scores and recaps for the games and individual teams can tailor their own message via social media, where everyone gets it these days.

Do we really need the beats to get another "We need to be harder on pucks and get the puck in deep. I thought [our goalie] played well but we have to do a better job of supporting him. It's a team game and we need to play for all 60 minutes" ? They're certainly not giving cogent analysis.

Ok this is legitimately irritating.

These pathetic vultures think that they’re entitled to access to the locker rooms, as if they’re at all important to the pro sports ecosystem. If all the beat writers disappeared today, how many people would honestly care or even notice?

These aren’t the insider media members who are breaking news like trades or other important information, these are the clowns who write post-game recaps using combined +/- and take pictures to show Giroux in a walking boot where you can’t even see his legs.

I love people who keep comparing this god damn virus to the flu. Maybe research SARS which is a much better comparison. And also, let’s see a bunch of f*** head beat writers complain because teams are trying to protect their million dollar assets.

Just look at the +\- boys. There’s your story line there.

I joke about us signing Pietrangelo but realistically we already have our three defenseman that will be protected. I do believe they will make a big off season move for a forward. They have a spot left to protect a legit top 9 guy still.

If the Caps just hold on to the puck eventually the backpedalling defense will just knock the goalie out of the crease and they'll have an open net to shoot at
