GDT: Pens vs Rags Game 3

The series is reminiscent of the 2012 Flyers series in that neither team looks like a plausible SC finalist.
I'm definitely getting flashbacks to 2012 Flyers-Pens.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Tampa added a tough third line and tough D. It's not the same team. They earned their Cup... Bonus: They did it without Stamkos... From the start of last season, TB had a whole different attitude and were playing beyond the whistle to try and compensate for being embarrassed the year before by CBJ....

OFFICIAL GDT: Pens vs Caps 01/17/21

Our old buddy Draftnik would've loved Marino's cowardice on the Wilson forecheck before the Ovechkin goal. Reminded me of early Pens Gonchar.
Yes, and he'd describe Marino as a "gelding" for that one.

All the ads on the ice, including the weird digital Honda ad just inside the zones, plus the tarp ads, plus the helmet ads... Reminds me of Major League.
It's going to take a while to get used to the digital ads on the ice. When it's the NBC ad, the puck disappears for a moment.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Absolutely the biggest hole on the roster, then maybe a #6 RHD. Not sure Ruhwedel can handle 82 games. I don't think he can either, but I also don't think he'll be getting that opportunity because someone else is coming in now or during the season. TVR at 800K would have been a slight upgrade and B...

2020 Penguins draft review + free agents/trades review

Thanks for the detailed analysis, mikey. I haven't seen a lot of the guy but the line about how the game plays him instead of him playing the game reminded me of a guy rumored too often to be coming to the Pens, Viktor Rask. Or a guy the Pens had, Galenupchuck. Maybe he'll be decent as a 4th liner b...

Murray to Ottawa for 2nd Round Pick

I'll preface this by saying I don't know anything about goalie mechanics: That being said; for a big guy, he always seemed to make himself play small in the net. He always looked hunched over. That seemed like a worse problem to me than "high glove". yeah, that's probably the base cause of the issu...

I’m rusty as hell and spent my entire career playing the left side, but I am right handed. Just throwing it out there.
I'm sorry to inform you the longest term we can give you is 6 years, not 7. Modified NTC too. Deal?

Non-Penguins NHL Games 2019-2020

Bummer way to end an OT with a PP goal from Shattenkirk after a bogus call on a slew foot that didn't come close to happening. Tampa was owed one when Point was called for diving. slew foot? no but Benn put his arm over the shoulder so that could easily be holding. Any call or not should have been ...

Financial situation aside, that pair makes sense to the right org. Like Phoenix if their ownership wasn’t the monopoly man with his pockets turned inside out.

If this were the last deal JR made this off season, I'd say this was a loser trade, but expect more to come and then judge the off season as a whole. No way JR is done yet and no way he could sit around and do just some minor addition/subtraction to the roster and expect something different from the...

So...7 D...? TB approves of 7 D, but they do have Hedman who can turn scrubs like Shattenkirk and Bogosian into something pretty good for a short while. Both of those guys are upcoming UFAs and probably need to kick some $$$ Hedman's way because their good contract potential has gone up a lot highe...

All good here, Mikey. It's been a minute. Really have enjoyed the playoffs despite the early Pens exit. Some pretty good hockey in Toronto and EDM even under the bizarre circumstances and no fans.

We're already wasting $3.25 million a year on a 30+ year-old bottom-pairing defenseman so clearly the correct move forward is to waste $5 million a year on a 30+ year-old bottom-pairing defenseman for the next, oh, five seasons. Exactly. A 5/6 30 yr old dman with the puck moving skills of Scuderi a...

GDT #67: Pens vs Caps

Free Riikola, sit Schultz I say. I'd normally say that Sullivan likes matching L/R, but having recently pushed Ruhwedel to L even after Ruhwedel sort of complained about it makes me wonder just what is going on with Riikola/Sullivan. A real mystery. While Schultz hasn't been good for quite a long t...
