Zach6668 513 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well, the biggest positive is that their score-adjusted CF% has been near the top of the league for the last couple months or whatever and their PDO has been way below normal. If the puck starts bouncing the right way, they certainly have a shot to win some games. Link to post Share on other sites

doox 15 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 True, but how many of those will be NHL caliber? I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see us getting past the Rangers at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Heck of a performance tonight. Maybe try to stay out of the box, though. Many marginal calls, but nothing too crazy. The Pens first 2 PPs were on horrendous calls by the officials. Link to post Share on other sites

I dont even really care if its true, I just like that Jagr thinks it is. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 That's really awesome. I knew part of the reason he came back was because Austin was too young to remember seeing him play, but that's a new wrinkle to it. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I like the Kessel add, but Pens need some help. They've got a shade over $6M left and need a backup goalie, to re-sign Bennett (RFA), add probably 4 more bottom line forwards, and maybe upgrade over Scuderi/Lovejoy on D. They'll need some Flyers-sequel cap voodoo. Maybe they can get a cap floor-ish team to take on Scuderi. That money can be spent far more efficiently. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Depth Chart: F - Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Hornqvist, Perron, Kunitz, Dupuis, Sutter, Bennett (RFA) D - Letang, Maatta, Pouliot, Cole, Lovejoy, Scuderi, Erixon G - Fleury Essentially nothing of value on the farm to step in and make an impact. Maybe a 4th liner may emerge at a cheap cap hit, but won't be any breakout surprises. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Watching Kessel pretty much every game the last 6 years I don't think he is a fit with Crosby. I think he is best suited to play with Malkin I think those two can be great together. The PP will be pretty interesting Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 This is such a weird trade..Usually when you trade for a team's first round pick, you hope that team does really crappy.. Well if the Pens fall off the face of the earth the next 2 years( ok it can happen) the Leafs dont get a first round pick. So we have to hope the Pens do bad but we have to hope they make the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites
