MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hello Penguins fans, You got injuries? Tough, our team just sucks. We got our own problems, don't give a sh-t about yours. At least you got an excuse for sucking. Our only excuse is that "As god as my witness, I thought the Staal brothers could fly" Canes nation rep MLP Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Was there last night. Besides a 10-12 minute period in the late 2nd/early 3rd that the hawks kept the pens in their zone it was a pretty solid game. The pens just connected on their chances and MAF was in the way for them. Orpik's hit on Toews was clean. Hate to see the guy get hurt but it was clean. I kept an eye on Orpik the rest of the game to see if they would go after him but thankfully they weren't that stupid in what was a 2-1 game at that point. Sharp did go for a hit though and as he was finishing it Shaw tried a hit from the other side that Sharp appeared to get the worst of. He did play the rest of the game but certainly came off the ice favoring a shoulder. And yay for Crosby finally getting a empty net goal this year. He only has I think 7 in his career compared to Ovechkin's 22. Stamkos even has 8. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it was only his 3rd or 4th game against Chicago. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it was only his 3rd or 4th game against Chicago. well naturally..I think he has scored like a bazillion goals against the Leafs Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Bazillion is probably accurate. I also thought it was crazy that this was only the 2nd NHL matchup ever of Crosby vs. Toews. The first being their outdoor game. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Had bowling last night so I caught bits and pieces of the game. People here are freaking out at how this team is trending and I can't say I blame them. These games are essentially meaningless but I'd think you'd prefer your team to have momentum going into the playoffs. Historically teams don't exactly have the ability to turn it on. This happened though so it's cool...Crosby gives Harrison a Rock Bottom after he attempts to elbow him in the head. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This team is unwatchable tonight. Meaningless game, pre-season lineup, just awful. Also, the Pens are at 506 man games lost due to injury now. Get rid of Vokoun's games, so 78 or however many games the Pens have played. That's still an average of well over 5 regulars out every game. EVERY GAME. FIVE. Crazy. (I think some of those man games are some AHL tweeners though, but the big numbers are from the better players). Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I would have assumed, if you couldn't watch it for the Pens, you would at least be watching+entertained by seeing McKinnon skating around everyone whenever he wants. PS- Meaningless? I THINK NOT! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Heh, I mentioned MacKinnon when I made a similar tweet about it. I've been fairly bored by the Penguins lately. The team is garbage when Sid/Geno aren't on the ice. Not entertaining, anyways. Plus the games mean nothing to them or me. AHL, blah blah. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You mean no one has Adam Payerl in the AHL? Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I did chuckle when I heard Ebbett. My first thought was "He's not in Austria/Switz/Albania playing pro hockey?!!?!?!" I'm pretty sure the Underdogs still have Ebbett at like $3 though. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Pens injuries couldn't have come at a better time for you, Arp. Malkin out so Neal is stuck with, uh, non-Malkin players (albeit ok guys), and Crosby means no Stempbiak bump, and he was even demoted prior to the injury or whatever it is.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 True, hadn't thought of that. Though sometimes some of the players step up+get more ice time, and manage to do even better. That would be hard to imagine in this case. Until you said it, didn't even realize. Was too busy cursing Crosby sitting out, because I need him in my other high roller pool.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Is Crosby playing tonight? Anyone know, I cant find any solid info. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 According to line rushing at the morning skate he, Kunitz, Matta, and Orpik are back but we haven't heard anything yet. Usually Bylsma will give some more info after the skate. Shero did confirm that Letang is returning tonight though. Not sure what to think about that, he's medically cleared and the decision was made by Letang. Hopefully he has enough info to make an educated decision. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,321 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Letang playing this soon scares me a little Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ya, i was a little uneasy reading some of the bits of news on this....about how he+his family know the risks (hockey isn't going to cause it), and he really wanted to get out there. Even the way the team was quoted. Shero: We would have supported Kris in whatever he wanted to do. Health-wise he feels good. This was his decision. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My biggest fear is that hockey would increase his risk, but if he's just as susceptible to a stroke playing hockey as he is sitting at home, then I feel a lot better about hiim playing. I'm still gonna cringe when I see him get hit, though. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Didn't he have a stroke? I guess he's not taking blood thinners because hockey would put him at more of a risk of getting cut. Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 yes he had a stroke and he was on blood thinners. He's been off them for a couple weeks though I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Letang playing this soon scares me a little It's apprentaly been 10 weeks, what do you suggest, doctor? Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,321 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's apprentaly been 10 weeks, what do you suggest, doctor? 10 weeks is not a long time for a stroke and usually they are on blood thinners for quite awhile and you shouldn't play hockey on blood thinners. I hope they haven't taken him off the blood thinners too early in order to let him play. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I assume it was a micro stroke? Big difference. Link to post Share on other sites
