Surprised so many people bit on that "pens best team blah blah" seemed so stupid it didn't need to be brought up. Wouldn't pens fans be scared of him coming back in the playoffs anyways? He's already a glass doll and playoffs are much more intense, and he'd obviously get targeted. He'd probably last about 15 mins.

 

[Futureman]

Huh? Neal sucked dick last year.

maybe, but he was a good fit, he just underperformed.

 

[CCF23]

Eh, I would argue:

1. Rangers
2. Detroit
3/4. Canucks/St. Louis (take your pick)
5. Bruins

I think it's more...

1. Rangers/Wings/Canucks (all on very similar point paces for the season. All have been incredibly consistent)
2. Blues (Since getting Hitchcock)
3. Bruins

I would agree with you, though, in that those 5 teams seem to have separated themselves from the pack a bit.

 

[yankeehater]

Bob, JVR+

Nash, Mason

.... lulz, you never said how much of an upgrade or any if you wanted

I would actually do that trade just to shake things up. Sadly I doubt the Blue Jackets would do it though.

Bob, JVR, first for Nash and Mason in a second.

Yes I know HF boards with no source (ok, no link to a source, but a source is there) etc... but if true, I will laugh with what I had put down as a fake proposal if it somehow is anywhere near what they are talking about.

 

[FOOTE]

McDonald with an excellent tip.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Underperformed is an understatement. He had like 1 goal in 25 games or something. He was fucking trash last year, part of why I badmouthed him so much.

The crazy rumor going around here is the Flyers may be interested in a Nash/Mason combo package...of course, in order for that deal to be made the jackets would have to take Bryzgalov...As I said, its a crazy rumor...I put very little stock in it...with the excepting that both goalies Mason and Bryzgalov are looking utterly lost....

brucewaynegretzky = Eklund?!?

 

[Futureman]

Pens would just have needed a few more wins instead of losses to be right at the top of the East. Yea "healthy Cros in the lineup = Elite Pens" IS SO CONTROVERSIAL

 

[t0mp]

I'd love to get rid of bryz. If there were any teams interested thatd be sweet. We're fucked for years and years to come. bob isn't the problem. Hes a young back up with a low cap hit. Homer fucked us bad because he overreacted from our playoff run.

I'd say, if we had a solid goaltender today, shoulda been a 5-2 maybe 5-3 win (can pens fans admit or am I being too bias?). I mean you look at those goals and all you can do is laugh

edit: LOL id LOVE a deal like that! At least mason has SOME upside. Bryz is just terrible

 

[BigJonsson]

Bryz and JVR to the Leafs for Schenn and Reimer

Big difference between calling a team "Elite" and the "undisputed best team in the league"

 

[t0mp]

Bryz and JVR to the Leafs for Schenn and Reimer

No to that though. I know we need a dman but reimer sucks too. And little to no upside.

Obviously this is in the works:
Jvr bryz bob shelley for lunqvist.

Yup.

 

[FOOTE]

Three guys who hardly score have a goal today, impressive.

Let's get some tacos, boys.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Duchene in tomorrow. No idea about Mueller but hes on the trip afaik, likely a game time decision. As long as this Calgary/LA game isn't a 3 pointer things are looking ok.

Edit: Same goes for the stars/yotes game. Bleh.

BLIND OPTIMISM.

 

[FOOTE]

The Wild are fucking dirty.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

The Wild are fucking dirty.

I'm surprised you're awake and they haven't put you to sleep yet.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

The Wild are fucking dirty.

Clutterbuck is a shithead. Doesn't get the reputation he deserves.

 

[Socreges]

No doubt at all this is the worst loss of the year. I never want to see Bob in net again. Trade for someone else or find someone in the minors or something. Both goalies are horrible, we are stuck with Bryz but we dont have to be stuck with Bob.




Bob's in net. He is totally lost now.

Bobrovsky hasn't been playing well?

 

[FOOTE]

Nah. Minnesota couldn't put me to sleep because I worry about who they'll cheap-shot next.

And another one. Enjoy getting shutout Minnesota. Swallow it down you little bitches.

 

[vatstep]

13 shots. Jesus fuck. If the Bruins can't beat this team tomorrow I will hang myself.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

13 shots. Jesus fuck. If the Bruins can't beat this team tomorrow I will hang myself.

Too busy gooning it up to shoot. They won't play the same way against Boston cause they know they'll get out gooned in an instant.

 

[yankeehater]

Bobrovsky hasn't been playing well?

No he has been worse then Bryz lately.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Hey, you guys remember when Minnesota was good this year? Haha, yeah...

 

[t0mp]

No he has been worse then Bryz lately.

is it really even worth comparing the two right now? they're both trash, except one is a kid and one is old as fuck and makes a ton of fucking money.

 

[Acid08]

Clutterbuck is a shithead. Doesn't get the reputation he deserves.

An effective shithead.

 

[Wendel Clark]

wow... just got home... if I liked a second rate team the game would've already been over... o_o

 

[Socreges]

No he has been worse then Bryz lately.

Canucks have this solid goalie prospect right now. Some people seem to think he's alright. Might be able to help you guys out.

They'll trade you Pronger for him.

 

[Smiley90]

They'll trade you Pronger for him.

Was about to post exactly this. But we don't want bryz AND lou, so screw that. Trade luo and ballard for bryz and pronger? We can have bryz as an expensive backup

 

[Alucard]

A win is a win is a win. Nice going, Pens, and thank you Bryz and Bob.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Well I was saying it because I have no idea if Pronger will play again considering what he has gone through with injuries. So it meant that you guys would be giving up a really good goalie in return for nothing.

 

[Spire]

Jordan Staal has as many goals as Ryan Kesler, and has played 14 less games.

Discuss.

Spoiler

Also, thanks for the points Philly goaltending.

Kesler sucked for a good long while after his injury. Not an excuse because Staal had his own injuries to deal with as well.

Staal's a good player.

They're both good players.

 

[Merguson]

Price too high for Flyers(at moment) for Nash. May re-engage later. JVR,Bobrovski, Schenn or Couturier believed to be part of asking price.

That's a high price for Nash. Sounds like to me that unless teams cough up the asking price, Nash isn't going anywhere. Not until the off-season at least.

 

[Silexx]

Flyers apparently don't like the asking price for Nash.:

Per Dregger:

EDIT: Beaten, but LeBrun reporting that Flyers are interested in Kubina.

 

[Smiley90]

45mins until start, everyone ready to make it another home-win?

 

[Red_Man]

When this whole Nash thing came up I said I didn't expect him to be moved, the price is too retarded and it's just bad timing on Columbus' part.

 

[Red_Man]

Apparently Clutterbuck yelled "I hope you get another confusion" at McDonald what a fucking loser.

 

[Merguson]

Speaking of Kubina, he has been dealt to Philly pending NHL approval.

 

[snack]

Hells yeah.

 

[DopeyFish]

I guess they are out of Nash sweepstakes

 

[t0mp]

I guess they are out of Nash sweepstakes

Thank fuck. If we gave up one of couts or schenn I would have lost it.

We need a goalie. Not a fucking forward. Defense would be nice. What do I expect out of kubina? I know nothing about him

 

[Cactus]

Decent defender with a hard shot.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I guess Stevie didn't like Holland's offer.

 

[Merguson]

Kubina for a 2nd and a 5th..

EDIT: Apparently Flyers would be over the contract limit so they are going to have to move someone before this becomes official.

Or someone else is going the other way as well.

 

[opticalmace]

Murray with a split adam's apple?? Sounds serious.

 

[DopeyFish]

Fuck I forgot we are playing Vancouver tonight

If we lose there's a chance we might have some movement tomorrow... Just like the Phaneuf trade
