Pittsburgh Sports Media Gibberish - Part IX

You're watching him live in studio???

What channel???

Imagine the lels Farnham-Laps-Downie would bring. I would literally HATE lining up against those guys. But no, for the same mysterious reasons DB had for keeping guys in the lineup, MJ is following suit.

Problem with this is that Downie's statistically the second-best offensive threat at right wing right now (assuming Perron ever goes back to his natural position) and you've got him on the fourth line.

And I love Farnham's spirit, but he makes our size problem worse than what you get with Sill. Finishing bodychecks is not the only advantage big bodies provide you. Best way I can put this is that if Eric Fehr sets a pick on Sid, Sid's going to be held up for a few seconds. If Farnham sets a pick on OV, he's probably getting swatted away like a gnat with OV never needing to break stride.

Over the span of a game, when it's 15 or 16 guys losing those types of battles for 60 minutes, that cascade failures into a blowout.

Shero collected obsoletes at forward. Collecting all those college guys that can either not skate, are too small or both just killed us. It's going to take a while to fix, unless there's an 06 style obstruction crackdown (don't hold your breath for this).

One is amazed that such superior analysis can be combined with biting provocative humor. Thank you for taking the time to share your extraordinary gift. The challenge now (for all who are endowed with the ability to pass on such profundity) is to disseminate with vigorous clarity your scholarly effort so that it may be spread across the masses with a propriety worthy of its inherent value.

Someone found daddy's thesaurus.

I never understood the strategy behind those picks of Shero's. As a collective group, the forwards he picked were never a]supremely skilled, b]fast, or c]big and bruising. They were all kind of average at all three things.

He'd have been better off if he'd taken guys who were longshots, but who at least was high-end in one of those categories (preferably skilled and big/bruising). Instead, it was like he was trying to build a stable of 6'0 tall, bottom six forwards.

That you are even familiar with the word shows an intellectual capacity far exceeding the original target. Congratulations.

I would be thrilled if we had a single ELC guy contributing on any line, let alone top 6. When your best young contributor at F has 3 goals and 5 assists in 20 games, you're not going anywhere in a cap world.

The reason we are paying 2.2m for the Spalings of the world is that we have nothing to show for a lot of our F drafts.

I bet you're a real pleasure, in person

Totally reading your posts in Sheldon's voice from the Big Bang Theory.

Thank you.

Is this the right place to complain about the Genie Slim Jeggings commercial? It just made me throw up.

Now that football is done, I fear he is going to be lurking the Penguins locker room and taking to the air waves imparting his vast inside knowledge.

My first thought was "what is Austin Powers doing on KDKA?".

My first thought was "what is Austin Powers doing on KDKA?".

Or even worse, "what is Rossi doing on KDKA?"

I dunno thing is i don't believe most of what these guys say. However, I think Crosby can go to the All star game, NOT skate and just do meet and greet stuff and not get suspended, but did not.

 

[penguins2946*]

Why would Crosby care if he wasn't named captain of a freaking all star team? That just seems like a load of bogus.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Bogus. Guy wanted to give up the Team Canada "C" to Toews. It doesn't mean THAT much to him.

I can take solace in it. Being the face of the league and all.

You know had Gretzky or Mario had been there they'd be a captain 100%.

Leagues been snubbing Sid for awhile now. I praise Crosby if there's any inkling of truth to it.

Yup.
