I do have concerns about Jugs in the playoffs...he's well known as a nice guy, he's never really been in that spot before...I just wonder how it will shake out...hopefully he crushes it, but ya never know until you're in one...

He'll be fine.

From Reddit today:

Gudbranson is leading the Penguins in CF%, at 57.2% through 6 games, as well as Fenwick with 59%.

Excellent. He’s been good

I'll say unequivocally it's because the entire team is forced to play simple defense, it'll go to hell when Letang gets back into the mix and him freewheeling for 22 minutes a night, thus making everyone else feeling like they can do the same things.

I like Letang, but I also feel that I love the sense of defensive responsibility that happens in order to give themselves a better chance to win.

INB4: You're wrong.

You're wrong.

Yeah, I don't get that take...

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 3:22 pm

Still don't think Gudbranson is worth 4 million.

After receiving thousands of entries, Mike Lange has selected five finalists for his new goal call. Which has your vote?

Buy me a banjo in Biloxi!

Make my donkey dance!

Hey! Who stole my pickle?

Get the boat ready, Bourquey! We're headed to Bogota!

Give that tiger a bath!

‘Make my monkey dance’ and ‘Give that tiger a bath’ are the two best options, IMO.

@mikey what's the take on this zucchini guy we signed out of Michigan Tech?

Not overly familiar with him...but he's not an interesting prospect from what I do know...

Blandisi recalled

So ZAR got injured last night? Damn, I really hope that he can go tomorrow night. That’s going to be a big game.

Seeing Hags in a Caps sweater makes my stomach churn. Recently, I was chatting about it with a friend who's an NYR fan.

NYR friend: "Loved that guy. Now you know how we felt when he went to you guys."
Me: "Yeah, but still...Caps."
NYR friend: "Just f'n disgusting."

Let this be a lesson to us all. There's almost always some common ground.

Seeing Jagr in a Caps Jersey was way harder.

Or Talbot in a Flyers jersey.

Agree. With respect to Hags...Jagr in a Flyers Jersey actually stung more than Washington...as I was dumb enough to be excited to get him back...

After all, he is one of the reasons I like hockey...

Yep. Looking forward to Hagelin’s tribute video, though.

Seeing Hags in Caps jersey doesn't bother me. Losing ZAR bothers me.

Postby **shmenguin** » Mon Mar 11, 2019 7:30 pm

ZAR is doing a little bit of his “this isn’t worth my time” thing lately. His effort isn’t exactly consistent.

How much he and Kessel are suffering from not having a center is a question with asking, I suppose.

Jesus...

Yeah... I actually enjoy Lange's goal calls but they are too.... Mainstream now. Stop forcing this.
