And for what cost? None of the "experts" writing this seem to go as far as figuring that part out. Link to post Share on other sites

None of the "experts" writing this seem to go as far as figuring that part out.basically first round picks and Esposito thats really all i think. although Staal's name has come up a ton all over the place and I think that would be a big mistake.

krup24 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don't think a scoring winger is the difference between winning and losing in the playoffs.If anything, we'd need a shutdown D.The argument that it's "insulting" to Crosby is ludicrous. We aren't in the business of making him happy by giving him linemates who are his friends. This isn't the mid 90s with Mario.Crosby won't care either way, and this is about winning. Crosby can make anyone play great with him, and TK has shown that already, and Cros and Army have already had chemistry in their first few years together.Of course, I'd like to get a scoring winger for that line, but not getting one isn't going to change anything in the playoffs, imho.Seriously i don't think Kennedy or Army are going to pull a Robbie Brown. it's just not gonna happen anymore. those guys are both 3rd liners and penalty killers imo. i would kinda agree with the shutdown d man though but who goes. not gonchar, orpik, whits, letang would have to be scuds or sydor who both are defensive guys. so i still think a 30-40 goal scorer for sid is top priority.dunno a lot of people are talking about this being insulting to crosby and i don't think that it's that ludicrous. we want him here forever not for 5 more years. giving him the talent to achieve this is crucial imo.

Zach6668 513 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Dude, Crosby is a team player. He doesn't care if he gets all the points.He's not gonna want to break up the two sick lines right now if he doesn't have to.I honestly don't think this team needs anything up front, and I really don't want to lose any of the players. I could deal with Army or Crusher going in exchange for a shut down D, but anything beyond that is just too much.We don't want to destroy the chemistry this team has. I don't know if you've seen the standings, but they've been playing very well lately. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Interesting to see Goligoski make his NHL debut tonight. He probably won't see much ice time, though, as the Pens have 7 defensemen dressed, and only 11 forwards. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Christensen has gotten @ least 3 golden chances and went on to blow each and every one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yeah, wtf was with the last one? Like shoot the ****ing puck.All they do is talk about how good this guy's wrist shot is, but I haven't seen a single goal that's gotten off the wrist shot this season.

doox 15 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm glad Errey brought it up - I have no idea why more teams don't play the PK vs the Pens like Boston is doing. I've always complained to family/friends that the Pens don't do well against Carolina, since they constantly pressure the Pens and never let them have time to set up.

I've always complained to family/friends that the Pens don't do well against Carolina, since they constantly pressure the Pens and never let them have time to set up.FWIW Boston has the 2nd worst penalty kill in the NHL.And WOW at Conklin stopping the 2-0 followed by a 1-0, very nice. I felt sick when Pittsburgh scored their first goal, although I should be used to it. It's not like the Bruins to win without giving the other team a chance first. Good game Pens.

TheDaveyG 6 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How did Goligoski look? The box score shows he got about 8 min, and a little over one minute on the power play. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Gogo looked really good, imo. He seemed to play with a lot of confidence with the puck, the times he was on the ice. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yeah, they actually had him and Letang on the PP at a couple points, and they looked very good together. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I saw this snippet in an article about the loss tonight:Perhaps the Penguins' only good news of the evening came from Norfolk, Va., where goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 30 of 31 shots while leading their Wilkes-Barre minor-league team to a 3-1 victory. It was Fleury's first start in his rehabilitation stint with the Baby Penguins.Yeah, it's the minors, but that's a real encouraging sign. I just hope he can stay healthy and give Conklin some extra motivation to keep his play level up. Link to post Share on other sites
