GDT: PENS @ CBJ

[hiptanaka]

Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry both ended up being spectacularly bad after promising starts (especially Murray). Who would have thought in 2017 that the best course of action would have been to just keep Fleury. Probably could have gotten a kings ransom for Murray at the time too.

Calgary offered the 6th pick in the 2016 draft, which became Matthew Tkachuk.

 

[Gurglesons]

Still a two time all star though. He's not even ahl level now.

who cares about being an all star? John Scott was an all star.

 

[Al Smith]

We need to start constructing a Mike Sullivan fantasy team. What's line 1? Harkins, Garrett Wilson, and Acciari?

I think Kevin Porter would replace Acciari.

You mean AllStar MVP

Knowing the Pens scouts though we would have selected Alex Nylander over him lol

 

[canadianguy77]

You just know Sullivan is going to be crying to Dubas after the game about how much he needs ZAR.

Dom Simon and ZAR would have been pretty high up there lol…

 

[BusinessGoose]

I'm forced to ignore HoG. His posts must be completely glorious tonight trying to bend over backwards and defend Jars.

Not yet. HoG not in here.. Must have had beef with randy, too

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Someone mentioned the Jarry signing thread a few pages ago. I read a few pages. Yep. The crazy people are still the crazy people.

Same just read it. There were a few defenders but vast majority here knew it was a godawful deal the minute it was signed. But boy wonder and Sullivan apparently knew better. Somehow it's turned out even worse than expected.

Only HoG could find a way to have beef with @Randy Butternubs

 

[Sideline]

Jeff Carter in all five positions on all 4 lines and 3 d pairs.

We all know Jarry blows. But this level of drop, to where he's not even ahl caliber is pretty crazy.

I think the difficulty with the Jarry signing is that it's impossible to evaluate it without the context of how terrible free agency and the trade market ended up being that year. Jarry and his agent had the leverage.

Like many things with the team...

...there wasn't a better way to do things, but damn, we got the short end of every decision going on like 5 years

 

[SomeDude]

I like how Sullivan's answer to every loss is swap St. Ivany and Shea.

Play the guys from Wilkes? Nah. Swap our 6th D. That's the ticket.

 

[canadianguy77]

At some point this idiot coach is going to realize that Jesse is a really smart player. I don’t know if we have anyone better at creating space than him right now.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

f***ing SHOOT

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Thanks mate @Duffy13 for some reason I thought someone on global ignore for me made the gdt. I was clearly wrong.

I can watch the Jackets beat the Pens or Tyson beat the shit out of Paul.

Both satisfying af.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

holy f*** thats so f***ing bad

Dude, you're that wasted already?

 

[vodeni]

I wish they could see to play 24 on pp instead Karlsson

We'd definitely see some short handed goals.

Grzelcyk's name is the sound I make when they show a close up of Sullivan at the bench.

It really is not. As I said at the time, you do not anchor yourself to a mediocre goalie like Jarry because the market for the position has temporarily dried up. That's such a stupid, short-sighted decision that of course Kyle Dubas made it. Bring in 2 meh goalies like we got with Ned and a guy like Martin Jones and platoon them until a better option becomes available.

It was a horrible decision then and it still is today.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dude, you're that wasted already?

Haha I didn't refresh!

Pacing myself. My wife isn't here to scold me, so it can get really out of hand. So just a pint of Guinness at the moment.

Matt Nieto looks like he's Cosplaying as Super Mario.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

What’s with the grenade pass from Sid on the PP? Like just why?
