It would be more interesting if he did. He should have super kicked Rossi through an ice cream shop window

Here's another gem.

We chatted with Fleury for 15-20 minutes this morning. Every bit as nice, funny and personable as he was in Pittsburgh.
He left 4 months ago Mackey. He's not going to do a WWE heel turn just because he's on another team.

If that's one thing I hate about media in this city. Nobody is very impartial when they find guys they like/don't like. It's obnoxious.

That wouldn't make MAF a heel though....just even more of a face.

Yohe especially has devolved into a major fangirl over the past year or so. It's weird.

Fleury and Cullen turn heel.. Rossi and Yohe have challenged them to a HIAC Tag Team TItle Match! BAH GAWD KING!

"did you see that? Rossi jumped through that window!"

Yohe is in full on spank it mode because there's a lot of Pens fans at the game tonight.

Yinzers Love Yohe.

Yohe loves dad

I **** hate Yohe.

And **** Matt Cullen.

Well the Penguins may suck at the moment, but I’m just really happy Jason Mackey and Josh Yohe had a good time in Vegas and got to see Flower again : )

Honestly looks better. He seems like a solid kid - hopefully, he survives the post mega-fame route and continues to find success.

It's becoming satirical at this point. A dark part of me would love if Fleury just went full heel turn and mocked Yohe in a Twitter video.

Ugh. Not Oleksiak. Anyone who follows @Classlicity knows that this is not a good idea.

Overall, it's best to walk into this trade with an open mind and just give Oleksiak a chance. This has worked for the Penguins before. Let's see what happens before we reverse the earth's rotation on it's axis.

@Classlicity is a self proclaimed “hockey analytics hedgewitch”. Interesting.

What’s Jesse’s background? I know he’s a big analytics guy. But Yohe and Seth came from major (locally at least) media outlets. Jesse came from a blog.

Jesse’s background is annoying former Let’s Go Pens poster.

I think most of the stuff I've read from The Athletic has been pretty sub-par or non-memorable. I don't even read Jesse's stuff.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed Dec 20, 2017 9:45 am

Everything Yohe has written in his career can be categorized as sub-par or non-memorable. Kaboly still hasn't finished 5th grade English class. I've never read anything from Rorabaugh that wasn't a blog. If I wanted to read someone poorly analyze hockey I can get that here for free. I don't need to pay to read some nonsense from Jesse that is full of make believe stats.

Tbh, Jesse being signed to The Athletic was the decider for me against subbing
