I don't think I've ever read an Anthony Daniels story that wasn't about him being an dadhole to fans or fellow actors.

So, I haven't been much attention to the intricacies of the schedule...but back to back road games in Washington and Nashville? That's going to be mental.

What a terrible, terrible schedule.

The league is definitely making as difficult as possible for the Pens to win the Cup again.

My apologies to HCMJ. The Pens can be very boring and lethargic even without him.

The Pens haven't been the same since The Athletic came to the Pittsburgh market.

They're still reeling from the loss of Conor Shear-y.

11 games without a goal for Sid...

Hagelin has 1 goal in his last 33 regular season games and 7 in his last 80. On pace to score 5 goals this season; had a career-low 6 in 61 games last season while missing 21 with injuries.

I like Hags, but not at 4 million a year. I probably said this before.

I think everyone has...including Anaheim...

That said, I have liked his defensive game this year, he has been very attentive in recent games...and I like Rust's skill game, it has improved...let's see if he finds some finish...

They're schedule has been ridiculous, at least in the next couple of weeks they get some home games.

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 9:32 am

What's a home game?

So what is the deal with Crosby? Injury? Pouting cuz his bff went to Tampa? Linenates? Simple funk?

11 games seems way too long for the last.

Funks have to start becoming more common with him...he's leaving his physical prime. He's 30 and he has a ton of miles on him...

Postby **meow** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 11:36 am

The flip side of Crosby’s point funk is his detail game has never been higher. He’s been very tidy

He's upped his defensive game to account for Guentzel and Sheary, as both of them are not interested or effective...perhaps by design. He can switch off defensive responsibilities safely when he's with Hornqvist though. Good point, meow.

IB4 some blue raspberry dum-dum says he is a -14

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 12:13 pm

Blue raspberry is an affront to society.

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 12:31 pm

Hagelin, Sheary, Corrado, Elmo for RNH.

Do it, GMJR.

Speaking of blue raspberry...Antti Niemi on waivers from Florida today...

Postby **Gaucho** » Mon Nov 13, 2017 12:32 pm

Don't do it, GMJR!

Coach Sullivan: "We've had discussions with Letang about simplifying his game. We encourage defensemen to think 'shoot first' and generate offense from that. We are going to continue to encourage all of our defensemen, especially Tanger, to shoot the puck."

I predict a lot of weak shots directly into opponents' shins.
