Awesome! So happy it's back...got our football, and hockey. All is right with the world again!
This is bar none the best time of year imo. Too much to watch...which is awesome.
Truth be told the Pens problems with Blue line play have haunted them the last 2 playoff series. Nothing really new on that front.
I am going on Saturday......settle down though ...NOT to the Blojax tilt but the Eers game. I am pretty much gauranteed win in Motown 3 losses in about 16 or 17 games (both the Sooners no surprise and an OT to TCU I think). As for PPG it's a shame I always had luck at the Igloo...also a shame is it's imo the best arena in the league. I am the Road Warrior it seems. Unbeatable there. Wanna talk about a pain in the ass? How the hell am I gonna keep swinging trips to rinks hell and gone from my neck of the woods? You are either paying for my flight to keep us on the level or I am continuing my fixation at PPG lol. I am bored of always winning IN Buffalo and Ottawa when there...
Wow that's rough...wtf?
Oh for certain...but last night was extra special lol. I usually yell quite a bit at the games (ya I am that jerk but somebody has to), my voice was hoarse leaving the arena. It was an epidemic beyond belief and this time ALL of them had equal hand in it.
Per PHN, big moves here on Friday after last night's abortion.....in today's presumably joyous practice:
Not sure about you knuckleheads, but sure I feel better now about tomorrow night against the Blojax
- Simon was moved up with Sid and Jake (who, of course, both played like 4th liners last night) on the top line
- Hornqvist.....who I didn't think, compared to most of the other forwards, was that bad last night.....was down with Tricky Nicky on the 3rd line
- Kahun now owns Simon's old spot with Teddy and ZAR on the 4th line
There are two glaring issues to my eyes outta this news... 1. This is a ton of goals out of the lineup if you include the departure of 81. ... 2 - if they try Kahun up the middle and move Teddy up? We are down about what, a foot at C ??? That is damn scary thought for a team that already gives limited pushback. Teams (The Jets for starters ) will totally steamroll us. I think GMJR absolutely has to deal. I've already had 6 or 7 buddies trying to peddle us Spezza for Casey. He is in Babs doghouse from day 1...I would have scoffed at this deal a week ago. Now? Maybe he could fill in for a bit as he's on an inexpensive one year deal. I can't believe I'm even suggesting it, but here we are! No matter who he can get if he decides to deal, The Pens are gonna get bent over.
True enough...their backup Hutch is horrific. Can GMJR swing some kind of magic and give em Jarry instead? I'd go for that. Should be enough time to jettison a relatively small amount of coin before Geno is back. I am assuming with Geno on LTIR his cap hit will disappear during that time frame? Or at least some of it? You are more the numbers guy than I....at least Spez has a modicum of offensive smarts left... damn I would hate to deal with the Leaves asshats but, imo the deal would at least give some temp depth...
The mammoth,Avs, nuggets rapids are all owned by the same guy. He also owns the La Chargers. The altitude network is owned by Him. The mammoth got televised quite a bit before the network was taken off the air. Its just a couple of millionaires fighting over a chicken wing.
