Ding dong the witch is dead

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Back to Colorado he goes.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Wait, isn’t this guy from Long Beach?

 

[SEALBound]

Too little too late but better late than never.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Hallelujah. Start bringing up the kids.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I coulda swore this dude's nhl career ended 5-6 years ago

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Didn't even realize Nieto was still around

Thought he was out of league years ago

Must have been Tommy Wingels I was thinking of

 

[Sideline]

Mike Sullivan was seen in tears outside the Penguins practice facility.

Tommy Wingels is playing wing on the Red Wing’s 4th line.

Ok, no he isn’t, but if I didn’t say that you’d go and check.

 

[Reality Check]

Mike Sullivan was seen in tears outside the Penguins practice facility.

He was the one who had to break the news and inform him that he was no longer neat-o.

I hear Harkins texted him to see if he was alright.

Nice guy and it's not his fault he sucks but the amount of leash Sullivan gave him was just unconscionable.

 

[Icarium]

Is that a proper way to treat a guy who is doing his best to help you tank, Dubas?!?

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Who’s taking his place? Koivunen, McGroarty, Ponomarev? Nope, some face puncher that scores at the same rate as Nieto. Except his rate is from the AHL and Nieto’s rate is from the NHL.

 

[BillyOcean]

It's little victories like this nowadays. Little victories where I know Mike Sullivan was caused duress.

 

[The GM]

It did

Agreed that Imama is no better, but he hits and fights, so he is immediately so much more entertaining than Nieto, and with a tank in progress, bad but entertaining players are great to have.

Bring back Sprong too and let him cherry pick every shift!!!

Do it cowards!!!

I really hope this isn’t to make room for Imama

28 games played too much.
