Darren Pang already with a couple weird comments. Calling Crosby-Malkin-Carter a “three headed monster” and then just compared Carter Hart to Carey Price over a rather routine save.
Eh…he has to say something. I think a lot of the color commentators who mainly call for one team don’t necessarily follow hockey all that closely when their team isn’t involved.

Man has Archi been good. I did not see that one coming.

I think it's a great example of how sometimes we just need to trust the management :laugh:

I didn't get the Archibald signing at all at the time. He was horrible in Edmonton last year and was coming off a potentially career derailing illness as a side effect from COVID. But even with that, he's been a good 4th liner and makes the amount of money you want to be paying a good 4th liner.

It's way nicer to be paying Archibald like $900k to get these results than pay Tanev $3.5 million to get the results he gave for the Penguins, even with Tanev being clearly better than Archibald.

Me when the NHL is on a niche TV channel that I don't pay for



I'm currently in Nuremberg and waiting for a 2 am bus back to Berlin, so I'll actually be up to watch this game.

Damn thats a long trip, Willkommen in Deutschland! How long will you stay here in Germany?

Start looked shacky but I feel like it got a lot better mid period and the 1-0 is huge

Archibald opens up a lot more space than Rust. I think there’s a decent enough chance that he would work well with Zucker and Geno. No reason not to try unless you’re overly concerned with Bryan Rusts feelings.

I remembered liking him early on in his Pens career because he could skate, but yeah it didn't look good.

Like you said, sometimes management gets it right with these 50/50 signings.

I'm leaving tomorrow :laugh:

I was in Berlin for 3 days and Nuremberg for 2 days, and I'm flying out tomorrow morning. I'm a bit Berlin-ed out, because I've been there 3 times already, but Nuremberg was awesome. The Nuremberg Christmas Market was really cool.

I love how aggressive we're being on PP breakouts lately. It's extremely disruptive and it's giving teams a hard time.

Archibald is still a terrible signing for your professional hockey team. But he's been better than some players making a lot more. So. I think that says more about THEM than HIM.

Well Berlin is a lot different from most german cities so if you want to experience Germany then I'd definitly recommend you to see some of the other cities as well. Have you been out west as well in your prior trips?

To be fair, the Penguins are up to 14th in the PK on the year at this point. Blueger coming back has made a night and day difference for the PK. It started out horribly but has been really good recently.
