Schwartz is definitely 10x better. Sanford was a regular scratch as I recall...

I really wish Lafferty's first name was Daniel and they always announced him last-name-first.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

It’s a 150 foot 2-on-2. What do you want him to do there exactly?
Be Bobby Orr 24/7/365.25 and go balls out, taking the perfect angle, against someone going full speed trying desperately to impress their coach, in what's basically a late-summer pick-up game.

110 points. Sheesh.
Well, 100.

PP
Kessel 3:07 (all 1st unit) 12/24/36
Jake 2:04 (mostly not 1st) 6/5/11

I don't think an extra 20 points with that extra 1st line PP is that crazy. Okay, another 10+ even strength is pushing it.

You gave up a lot of goals by moving Phil. You will not replace him. I know, no matter what, Alex can't offset with preventing goals...so just please try to make up the automatic 80 points that Kessel brought as best you can... Jake was like 3rd in the league in 5-on-5 points - tied with Ovenchkn. ...

So, (very long term) is Simon a guy that makes a good coach of some kind, someday? He knows the game and the fundamentals, but he is just not personally talented enough to play the game at that same level. His shooting % has to be at least league average (9% - he was 11% his first year and 6.6% las...

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Simon is smart enough to do the right thing, he's just not good enough to actually execute at putting the puck in the net or making difference making plays imo. So imo his advanced stats might make it seem as if he's on the verge of breaking out or that the regression will happen and the points wil...

hot take: bench him game 1 and get the streak over with so we can treat him like any other player going forward with rest/maintenance days

I didn’t say she was liberal. I said she lacks beliefs. Only cares about votes and her corporations that make her rich.
So she's a republican.

Except she doesn't wear 40 lbs. of makeup like Palin or Bachman or Conway and that gets her kicked out of the club.
