dEv~ 19 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 https://twitter.com/#!/stoosh10/status/32645379489013760Pens have taken 66.7% of their available standings points, and they've played just two games with 87, 71 & 11 together. That's sick.Gotta be happy with any points you get in a game without malkin and crosby. Nevermind that Asham went down early in the game and Staal got the boot late in the 2nd. Fluery steps up big in the 3rd and OT/shootout and Dustin Jeffery again with a big impact in his limited time in the lineup.Staal deserved a penalty for punching Prust but seriously a game misconduct? The refs react to what they saw and that was imo a good acting job by Prust. He might have charged Kennedy, the elbows Staal in the face before taking what I'm sure he no where near the biggest punch he's seem but he crumbles to the ice. The league better rule that the penalty assessed was more than enough of a punishment. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I thought the 5+GM was a bit silly, but not completely unexpected. No suspension though, I hope.What a gutsy win for the Pens. Link to post Share on other sites

No suspension though, I hope.What a gutsy win for the Pens.He is suspended indefinetely under league review under rules..I dont think it was as bad as the Eager sucker punch on Army that got 4 games, but he may get one or 2.

Zach6668 513 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The Pens are going to be lol tonight.Malkin apparently not returning, as he was retroactively placed on the IR.Staal IS being suspended one game, but nothing beyond that.No update on Letestu... Apparently Asham is hurt too?Kunitz - Jeffrey - DupuisCooke - Talbot - KennedyTangradi - Adams - ConnerGodard - Rupp - ??? Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 you said they would be LOL last night and you won..Tonight you are playing the Islanders..You will be fine.the Islanders are actually playing really well, and Grabner is a lock for 1g, 1a. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 the Islanders are actually playing really well, and Grabner is a lock for 1g, 1a.Well 3 wins in last 10 games for me doesnt qualify as playing well..But thats just me..:)And those 3 wins were against Buffalo(2) and Atlanta.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I didn't see the punch, but Staal shouldn't be throwing punches after his injury issues this season imo.Have the Pens called anyone up? Link to post Share on other sites

Not how many wins they got in last 10. I think your going to see the Islanders win quite a few games these next 2months. Poulin kid is playing great in net, Tavares is waking up, and the key right now.....Okposo is back to his old self, and he will be huge next 2months. Just another Cheap Thief who Ill never have, so I dont care about letting my feelings known. :)Watched them sometimes, and last few games the team looks much better.ps- Arent Buffalo and Atlanta ahead of the Leafs? Do wins against the Leafs get discounted too? Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 They're really confusing us with all of this nonsense.TSNBobMcKenzie Bob McKenzieJust to be clear on Jordan Staal, no supplementary discipline means he plays in next game for PIT. His penalty was missing end of NYR game. Link to post Share on other sites

I told my son this morning about our bet as he let me look at my emails, and he wanted a piece too. Leafs win, he gets $20 to spend on anything on Saturday. Canes win, I get him to clean up parts of the house for an hour. I think its good to teach a 10yr old gambling. Father of the Year baby.Im never as good as the other degens with these side bets. No creativity on my part. Ill think, you try too, Im game. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My opponent in the NGFHL tonight has Casey Pierro-Zabotel, does he even play?Also his OT player is Chris Kunitz..Combination of him being a shitty team and a short night has afforded me this luxury Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 CPZ plays... in the ECHL.I drafted him in the FCHL, worst homer pick ever. He'll be lucky to ever be an AHL regular. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He absolutely destroyed the WHL in his first season (after a couple years in the BCHL), but it was just like the stats being inflated in the WJC, they were inflated because he had a year on everyone else, I think.He's been absolute garbage as a pro, and apparently has no work ethic or drive at all. He's a complete bust. If he ever plays an NHL game, I'll be really really really surprised.edit - he was PPG in his first WHL year at 19, and at 20, he had 115 points on a strong Giants team. He's under a PPG in the ECHL, and has 1 point in 9 AHL games. Link to post Share on other sites
