GDT: NHL Deadline

[Shady Machine]

Pretty sure I heard Pierre call someone a "f-ing penis"

Haha I hope so. It would be weird because of the shape of his head

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

^super skilled but small and soft.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Maybe he was talking about his head.

 

[cassius]

Michalek should fit in nicely with STL - nice move for them

 

[IcedCapp]

Sid injured yesterday by that hit?

 

[Winger for Hire]

^super skilled but small and soft.

Pierre's head?

 

[DegenX]

In case anyone is interested ... Sportsnet is live streaming their show on their website. I'm in the US and am able to watch it.

I gotta admit .. when he got hit, I thought of Laich. Im sure Im not the only one.

 

[Sideline]

I assume you were talking about Eberle, but I'm really hoping that was a Pierre joke.

Was he looking at a mirror

****ing penis?

Didn't Crosby also have a maintenance day recently? Maybe related to something else?

 

[blueliner18]

No, it's the fact that he can't win a board battle to save his life, he's a terrible possession player, he's soft and he doesn't have the offense to make up for those shortcomings. His defensive awareness, shot and faceoff skills are basically the only things that are above average for him.

Right, all of that which you stated makes him a less than desirable offensive juggernaut. If the Pens deal him it will be because they want to change the role of the 3rd line center. With Sutter that role is solid defensive play, and PK work. Anything else from Sutter (Offense) is a bonus. I mean the guy weighs 195lbs in soaking wet gear. The main problem and point I'm trying to make is who would be better at that price point, and what team is willing to give "him" up for what PIT has to offer???

Crosby has a lower-body injury he's been dealing with since before the all-star break, and something Sid himself has said has been an issue in straight lines and in the corners. But I don't know if it's related to that. I thought he looked off (and was shaking his head/neck a lot yesterday) after that hit. Just speculating anyhow.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Sid injured yesterday by that hit?

Probably, or they're just testing him out because they've finally learned to be hyper cautious... it's probably an injury. Yesterday I meant to predict an injury, though.

 

[Shady Machine]

I meant it as a Pierre joke

 

[orby]

Man, Kessel to the Habs would be wild.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

****ing penis?

Now you've offended Pierre.

 

[dbeats]

Didn't Crosby also have a maintenance day recently? Maybe related to something else?

Downie and Bortuzzo are also with them, so I'm thinking it's less about an acute injury from last night and more about something planned.

We already have a guy that would be better in Spaling. Sutter doesn't have the physicality to be a shutdown 3rd line center and doesn't have the offense to be a scoring 3rd line center. He's a really poor fit as a 3C.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Yeah, that would definitely rustle some feathers.

Interesting that Ehrhoff and Bortuzzo and Downie are working out too.

Do they have practice today?

EDIT:

The answer is yes they have practice. Maybe just getting extra reps in?

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Ehrhoff is working out on the ice at Southpointe with Crosby, Downie and Bortuzzo.
