I've mentioned before as long as he's rostered he's still taking up needed cap space, an injury brings me no joy because he's being both expensive and completely useless.

I will not rest until he's playing for Edmonton.

Letang has to be one of the league leaders in shots, right?

To faces and shins? Sure.

I was called into this and can go as long as you guys want. I'm in your head, it's cool, lets go.

It's only November and I'm already numb to the injuries. Whatever.

Not that it proves or disproves things necessarily, but Letang leads all NHL d-men in shots (55) on net...11th best in the NHL. There's only one other d-man in the NHL that's top 35 (Giordano, 32nd - 47 shots)...

There is a pretty obvious reason for that; one that conflicts with my expectations on what I want from a 1D pairing. My expectations and the Pens are different though so I don't bother discussing it anymore. The short version is it's easy to rack up shots as a defenseman when you're not playing defense. I'm not interested in rehashing the whole thing and I'm pretty certain nobody else wants to hear it either.

Actually, I'd be really interested to see a shot chart, bonus points if they can overlay shot attempts. I don't know if such a thing exists or how to get it, but it would inform me as to whether I'm tilting a windmills or not.

Also, the stupid Isles have won ten straight.
the full flower of lou hockey has been resurrected and though you didnt think it possible it is even worse than nj at their worst.
the hockey hate i have for the fishsticks equals and perhaps even surpasses the flyer hate of 2012.
this will be a tough watch; one to mute perhaps because though you love goring, that he constantly fellates their 4th line is just too much to bear alongside the grinding boredom of trotz's mutilation of the game.
of course mears-zee and bibs -the nhl's wors broadcastt combo - will prattle on about potash in a wig or what bibs had for breakfast or where mears-zee was the last time he was constipated. how they managed to hire a guy who would suck at calling the demolition derby at a county fair in southern west virginia still boggles the mind
if the pens don't get frustrated or fall asleep from boredom they might win
and if they manage that i'm going to be pleasantly surprised

Letang has had more good games than bad this season, it's just that when he has bad games, they're glaringly bad. Certainly not what I'd expect from an elite defenseman. I still want him in the lineup each night, though.

Are we calling the lines "workflow" now? Is that a thing?

Right now, that would be my preference. ZAR has had some sloppy, lazy play recently, and Lafferty is all go all the time.

Malkin, Dumo, and Riikola in the lineup tonight. Didn’t realize that there was the possibility that Malkin may not have been?
