Zach6668 513 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Huh... Weird. Wonder why the Pens got Arcobello. Won't complain about the depth, but didn't think it was needed. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Huh... Weird. Wonder why the Pens got Arcobello. Won't complain about the depth, but didn't think it was needed. Cause they are going to play him with Crosby+Malkin. JR is a genious! In other news, Whalers move up to the #1 spot in the power rankings with this development. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Arcobello is goin to be a 40 goal scorer now that he has a playmaker like crosby Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't really see where he fits in. Don't think he's top 6, but he's not much of a bottom sizer either. Crosby-Perron-Kunitz Malkin-Bennett-Downie Sutter-Spaling-Rust Goc-Adams-Sil I guess he'd fit in for either Downie or Rust. He'd e ok on the third line I guess. They could use some extra scoring skill. Don't care if Downie gets bumped down. All of this is pretty moot when Comeau and Hornqvist come back. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Are you listing the centers first? What's wrong with you? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't know. I agree with you, though. Rust got sent down, so looks like Arcobello slots in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This team almost has enough decent forwards (when healthy) now to field four solid possession lines, rather than a typical fourth line of grinders. Kunitz - Crosby - Perron Bennett - Malkin - Hornqvist Spaling - Sutter - Comeau Downie - Goc - Arcobello That keeps scrubs like Sill and Adams out of the lineup. Goc and Downie a decently gritty, but have some offensive acumen. Not sure how well Arcobello complements that, but obviously that could get shifted around. Maybe Arcobello just gets waived when everyone else is healthy. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Boy, I forgot about Pascal Dupuis, but I think he's out for the season. All of a sudden we have a super deep group of forwards, which was an area that I thought was weak coming in to the season. Guys like Downie, Comeau, and Spaling have all performed above my expectations, helping to solidify that top 9 considerably. Adding Perron is obviously a big boost on the top end. But also, the emergence of guys like Rust and Farnham as reliable depth players, and the veteran AAAA type guys like Ebbett. For the first time an ages, this team has a really legit group of top 6 wingers in Perron, Horqvist, Kunitz, and Bennett. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Zach: Did you watch the game? 1. I saw the first period only. There was a play where it seemed like Malkin gained the zone, stopped skating completely, and just kept passing the puck around and the Pens kept control for like 30 seconds with Malkin just standing at the middle of the point. He just kept wiring passes to one side, touch soft passes to the other.....I couldnt believe it, so pretty. I realized after he was just gassed at the end of a shift, but it was something to see. His passing is so underrated, at least by those I read/talk to. 2. Voracek got into a fight? Scuderi? WTF? Missed that Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't remember the Malkin play. His entire game is amazing. Shuddering hip checked Voracek and he snapped. Refs got the instigator penalty right. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Rinaldo thinks another suspension could be on its way. "I changed the whole game, man," Rinaldo said after the game. "Who knows what the game would have been like if I didn't do what I did?" Yeah, doesn't sound like he's too sorry about the hit. Piece of shit. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Probably gets 6 games... Which is worth about one shift from Letang. Garbage league to let these idiots stick around. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDaveyG 6 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 They need to not let the team replace the suspended player on the roster. Make them ice one less player. That will stop teams from signing these players. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Steve Downie went thru a couple year stage where he was trying to win Lady Byng trophies. He was all changed. Last couple of years though he has upped the goonish meter. The guy can play a little though. Has value Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah... He's a littttttle bit different in that he can actually provide 20 goals (once)... Rinaldo is just a hack. Then he laughed it up after the game, bragged about how his illegal hit changed the whole game, and now apparently the whole fight club style was agreed upon at a team dinner the night before or something. The flyers in general are an embarrassment. A Flyers blogger today even put out a story about how embarrassing Rinaldo is. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Haven't said. He missed a little bit of the game last night, then left warm up early tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Maybe he'll skip the all-star game and get some rest. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The news is a bit ambigous on the subject. Reports are that Sidney Crosby is suspended for 1 game. Other reports just state if you miss the ASG you must miss the next league game, so he isnt really suspended but he isnt allowed to play. However if you are suspended thats a hefty chunk of cash out of pocket, if just not allowed to play you are injured and still get paid? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I don't think he's suspended. They announced he was out for at least that game, maybe longer, when he was first announced as being injured. Link to post Share on other sites
