Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

I hear your logic but consider: this is Zucker's first injury free year in awhile, He is 31, with some wear and tear, and currently making $5.5M. He's going to get at least that - if not more - and probably wants at least 3 years. Re-signing him could be another, "why the hell did we do that?" in a year or two.

 

Absolutely. I'm not sure he's worth risking another contract, for the reasons you gave. But it's just a bummer that this year he is finally everything we hoped he would be, and it's looking like it won't matter. But we need more guys who play that style of game. The Pens can't be the small, finesse, fast skill team anymore. We need to be more of a puck posession team, that plays smart and has a few guys that will play in the tough spots.

 

Pens waived Kappenan. So that is the first move.

 

So, if he doesn't clear, he's at Wilkes-Barre? Is he still a cap hit?

 

Colo @ PEG is insane ...Hellebuyck should have been pulled already, we'll see if the team can bail him out.

 

Pulling for Quick in NYI tonight !

 

How I understood it was if he goes unclaimed then around 1mil comes off the cap. If he does get claimed, then the whole hit comes off. If he goes unclaimed then we still need another move to clear Rutta. So likely would be O'Conner since he us waiver exempt. Or they could do something w/ Phoeling on LTIR but I'm unsure of exactly how that woukd work.

 

Lol Mathew Tkachuk is such s fucking loser

50 save win for old man Craig Andersen

 

Not much savings. Then you have what, another year or two left on that contract? Not good.

 

I really want to see the Panthers just barely make it in and face Boston first. I want to see Chucky act like a baby in a series with the king baby, Marchand, on the other side of the ice.

 

Kapanen to the Blues. Good luck to both.

 

Another 3 points for McDavid in less than half a period. I'm still salty Matthews won the Hart last year.

 

It's a shame about the 'pee-wee' level D....and garbage netminder!!

 

I actually watched a pee wee game today and caught myself saying "Good D" more than I do when I watch the Oilers....

 

Sorry you won't get to watch McDavid hoist the Hart 20 times and the cup ever, at least not in an Oilers jersey?

 

Any of yall watch any SPHL or ECHL teams? Weve got a local SPHL team , Roanoke railyard dogs and we just set a franchise attendance record at a game last night

 

At least I know McDavid isn't getting carjacked

 

Pens spanking the Lightning 7-2 after 2, what’s up with that.

 

Hard to say. Lightning look confused. Guys that haven't scored forever are scoring. The Pens better save some of those goals for the next game.
