Pens re-sign Kevin Porter

He could very well be the replacement for Cullen if he retires.
I'd probably put Sundqvist in that spot in the very near future (though I think Sundqvist replaces Bonino long-term).

Pens re-sign Kevin Porter

Was a quality PKer & a good 4th-liner before he got injured. Glad to see him come back.

Datsyuk to Leave Detroit after Playoffs, Return to Russia

What is his actual salary this season?
Per NHLNumbers, 5.5 (but 7.5 cap hit).

Datsyuk to Leave Detroit after Playoffs, Return to Russia

https://twitter.com/cotsonika/status/744198134750908416 (Saw this in the Hockey Randomness thread, but just updating this.) Apparently it's official now. Saw some rumors that they're gonna trade the contract & make a strong push for Stamkos. Wonder what it'll take to trade away that contract, and wh...

Second half starts up, Colombian soccer player immediately shot in the chest by a sniper. Gets up after a quick look to the ref. The toughness of these players is amazing!

I hope Colombia loses in heart-breaking fashion.

GMJR would like to re-sign Schultz

Re: Pouliot, per Yohe in the Friday Insider.
I won’t be surprised if Derrick Pouliot is traded this season. This might not make sense if Ben Lovejoy and Justin Schultz leave, but the organization isn’t thrilled with his development and might opt to trade him before his value declines.

A little more on Malkin... GMJR said he's 50/50 on needing surgery.

Reversing my stance from months ago, there's zero chance I retain Bennett now. Kunitz is probably an odd-man out, but I wouldn't mind them trying to sign Schultz and Lovejoy (who I think is one guy who would take less money to stay here).

Brian Dumoulin and Justin Schultz bypassed most of their car ride to walk route and high five and hug everyone they saw.

Car acquires: T.Teravainen & Bryan Bickell | Chi acquires: 2nd in '16, 3rd in '17

That seems like a pretty big cost just to get rid of Bickell's salary. Teravainen has a lot of upside, doesn't he?

Religion Discussion Thread

Do the quotes people use against homosexual relationships fall under those laws? Not all of them (not to jump in - Freddy's certainly the more knowledgeable in terms of Bible / creed stuff), but it does hit the Leviticus passages ( 18:22 & 20:13 ) which are used a lot. The other major one comes fro...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are once again STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!

That "Mr. Game One" clip is amazing. Zatkoff seems to be genuinely beloved by his teammates and took his demotion to third-string goalie like a complete pro.

Since we're making fun of Kunitz, let's also make sure to praise this backcheck.

Rorabaugh retweeted this, so I guess it's probably a legit source.
