Someone should use Pi as their number

 

[Factorial]

Before 99, very few skaters wore any number over 30. Times change.

Or e.

What about this…

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

He's got a terrible f***ing name and a terrible f***ing jersey number.

McG just out here tryna offend as many senses as possible.

If he could somehow transmit a foul odor to viewers of ESPN Plus, I'm sure he'd already be doing it.

Completely off topic, but your name and avatar reminded me that the gym I use always has ESPN on one of the TV's, and I thought Glenn Howerton was a guest analyst, but it turns out it was just Dan Orlovsky.

We don’t need to see your first tattoo you got at 50 lawyer boy.

I thought that was the number of times your posts have been widely canned on this site…

I guess Lindros, Kane, Vasilievskiy, Pastrnak, Nylander, Mangiapane, Burns, McGinn, Necas, Sprong, Schmidt, Sakic, Nolan, and Iginla are just a bunch of raging racists. Just like Michael Irvin, Marvin Harrison, Dez Bryant, and Demaryious Thomas. f*** I hate this idiotic culture.

What about this…

Is that the ghost of dumoulin sliding across the crease and still not taking the pass away?

I mean yeah I get you..

But if Tony DeAngelo or Trevor Connelly wear 88, I'd be like hmm...

Kyle Dubas in his office....

Puustinen's carcass in the press box this morning, small band-aid on burst lip. This city is annoyed of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of failure and when the drains finally scab over, all the fans will drown. The accumulated filth of all their hope and happiness will foam up about their waists and all the fans and media will look up and shout "Fire Sully!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

I know his last 2ish seasons were absolute garbage here, but let’s give Dumo some credit. He made some excellent plays exactly like this when he was at his best.

I kinda forgot why Wayne picked 99

***************
It was with the Greyhounds that Gretzky first wore the number 99 on his jersey. He originally wanted to wear number 9—for his hockey hero Gordie Howe—but it was already being worn by teammate Brian Gualazzi. At coach Muzz MacPherson's suggestion, Gretzky settled on 99.

Dumo going to Anaheim is exactly what he wants anyway. He's a big wine fan and now he can hang around Napa all day. But yeah Dumo had some pretty bad injuries that hurt his skating, to me he came back too early and it really affected his game. Otherwise nothing but good memories of Dumo.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I was thinking what I'd want as a Pens coaching staff if Sullivan was fired, let me dream ok....but anyways...

Todd Nelson HC
David Carle Assistant Coach
Then let Nelson pick his next assistant or two.


Forgot to add - Dumo set a career high in goals for himself last season with 6.

 

[pistolpete11]

Injuries hurt Dumo's career big time, but a big part of the hate he got towards the end of his time with the Pens is on Sullivan still treating him like he was a top pairing, 20+min a night, shutdown defenseman still.

Just imagine if Sullivan had been fired— how much optimism would there be about this team this year? A lot more than there is now lol…

At the very least, the last 5 years wouldn't have been such a frustrating shitshow, so even if this was still where it ended up, at least they would have maximized Crosby, Malkin, and Letang's final good years.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I watched a video of a guy watching McGroarty game and sure we are putting him on the 1st or 3rd line.

The person was harsh and unless he has worked himself hard this summer he might be sent to the AHL to start this year.

As long as Sid can pass Yzerman in all time points, I’ll be happy. It would give all the bitter Red Wings fans yet another reason to be upset with the Pens.

Yeah i was joking, mostly

Dumo became a pillar for our defense. Imagine trying to win using maatta as your main piece through the years

But yeah once his speed and agility started to dip, he was toast as a mainstay for our broken style of hockey

And he triple-shotted bud lights lol

 

[Gurglesons]

Let’s actually be honest as someone who owns a Dumoulin jersey. He had maybe 3 great years if you are being generous and then was decidedly average and over worshipped by PIT fans and media similarly to what we will see if we re-sign Petts.

If Maatta didn't have to have thyroid surgery j think he would have been perfectly fine.

Dumos last 2 years were really rough.
He helped win us the Stanley Cup and his contract was not outrageous.

I will just throw this video here. Was he too harsh?

Farkas posts on here. He posted it in the prospect thread I think.
