Only if his game has suddenly fallen off a cliff and can’t rebound. Besides that…it’s Seattle….pay your dues!

Stephenson is already 30? Man how time flies.

 

[Random schmoe]

Well, at least any temptation to sign him will drop.

(All the best to Irwin, who carved out a pretty good career - 461 NHL games - coming from the BCHL, NCAA, undrafted, and working his way through 'the minor leagues'.)

His defence is a 3?

I’m sceptical.

Congrats 461 is no joke. Poor Pokoluk couldn't get in one game.

Hey now, Sasha played parts of three seasons with the St. Georges Cool 103.5 FM... which is apparently a real team.

His card for the 3 years prior. Dude isn't good defensively.

 

[BallardEra]

Another great performance by the Pens last night as Columbus came into the game on a 6 game losing streak.

Pens now have the second worst GAA in the entire league. Hilarious how their fans would say that the Caps only exist to get Ovie to 895.

Now the Pens only exist to keep Sid's points per game streak going.

Karma.

I still can't believe Seattle signed him to it. A very 2013-esque UFA deal that you really just don't see anymore

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Every week.
A Top Team loses to a weak team
Every week.
Without exception.
Every week.

e.g. only yesterday 10-2-2 MIN loses to CHI, NJD loses to SJ
cpl days ago BUF embarrassed Shesterkin and NYR 6-1

I’m shocked people keep asking….parity.

Good teams lose to lesser teams all the time. Long season, tough to get up for every game.

Who could have seen that coming?

Narrator: everyone knew this contract was a disaster the moment the ink hit the paper.

Yep. And if you’re playing for an NHL team, no matter which one, you're a pretty f***ing good hockey player

WTF, just seeing the hit of Reaves on Nurse. Should be at least 5 games, based on his record

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Reaves shouldnt be in the league.

Yep brutal.

 

[BallardEra]

Pens have the worst goals against per game with the worst goal differential in the league.

They have a tough 10 game stretch coming up.

Will be interesting to see if Sullivan can survive for that long.

Last 32T Friedman said Crosby and Sullivan were still on the same page ... hope that continues!

Firing Sullivan doesn't make that roster better.

He got 5 games indeed.

Reaves of Maple Leafs suspended 5 games for illegal check to head | NHL.com

Forward received match penalty for hit on Oilers defenseman Nurse on Saturday

[marcel snapshot]

Ha - I took what I would have given him and halved it to approximate NHL justice

Seems about right. But i dislike that guy! he is just dangerous and not skilled enough for today’s NHL game.

Based on his record it should've been a decade.

That roster is cheeks, firing the coach isn't going to do anything, that said it'd be funny if they fire him and get way worse.

 

[DWGie26]

Eller has solidified the third line. We have four good lines and three good pairs. And a pair of goalies. Tastes good.

 

[RedRocking]

The top of the Metro is ridiculous right now. The Atlantic kinda blows so far. At least we have 4 games in hand on NJ. And are 2nd in P%.

It’s gonna be a long bloodbath trying to secure a top 3 spot.
