ER GDT PENS @ CAPS

Is anybody concerned just a little about blowing leads vs Caps or is it me?

One year ago

Yes, yes, no.
Has it been a significant drop?
This board does not yet have the membership volume to yield much with my survey solicitations yet.
Hoping we get there someday so I can send out at least a handful for the big games.

OFFICIAL GDT CAPS @ PENS 3/20/2016

Did anybody here go to the game because if you did, I'd like to know, was it me or where there a lot of Caps fans there? I'm used to it being where when the Pens are in DC, it is 25-50% Pens fans, and when the Caps are in PIT, you can hear whispers when they score, in other words, there are no Caps ...

Penguins @ Cryers

Anybody go to the game? Only disappointment was on TV, it didn't look or sound like there were too many Pens fans. I saw some and heard some cheering but it was not that loud, even Bob Errey mentioned there aren't many Pens jerseys. I was surprised as this was the most in demand game of the season a...

Malkin out for 6-8 weeks

Honestly I wonder if they are best off re-buulding/tooling around Sid. Geno reminds me of Foppa (Forsberg), great player but just always banged up. Since the 2011-2012 Geno has not had 30 goals and routintely misses dozens of games. The Pens are a 4-8 seed at best with a healthy Geno and Sid firing ...

GDT: Pens @ Craps - 03/01/2016 - 7:30pm EST

Went to the game... First....this was the fewest amount of Pens fans in DC I have ever seen. 10-15% max, WAY less than 25-35% I am used to (and 50/50 from longer ago)...I was disappointed, but I guess it being a make up game from Sunday in January probably screwed things up for Pens fans? There stil...

Game #56 PENS vs WINGS

1) A LOT OF EMPTY SEATS? 2) A LOT OF RED WING FANS? I'm seeing way more empty seats, late arriving fans, and red jerseys in the stands than I can recall in a long long time. Is this an optical illusion or what gives? DK on Pittsburgh sports the other day said Detroit brings the most fans of any team...

Has The PensBlog Completely Deteriorated To Utter Crap?

I'm still bitter about several stunned pics I submitted from the Flyers-Pens elimination game (2009). That was the game we came back from 3-0 to win 5-3, I was sitting in the lower bowl at the Wells Fargo Center. I emailed them from my wife's hotmail account on her phone because my phone was dead--...

Has The PensBlog Completely Deteriorated To Utter Crap?

No. It was utter crap on day 1, and remains utter crap. Bunch of nerds who think they're funny. But they're just nerds.
So it's not just me....TPB does have an irrational one sided hatred for GMJR?

In 2014 I recall Maata leading rushes into the offensive zone. When 100% if not mobile, what would you qualify him as? Overall then you'd rank our d as: -Letang....top pair/mobile/offense -Maata.....top 4/mobility decent/defensive instincts great -Demoulin....borderline top 4? -Lovejoy....depth 3rd ...

Has The PensBlog Completely Deteriorated To Utter Crap?

Deteriorate insinuates that there was a point when it wasn't total crap. Which is not the case.
They were quite good, I thought, with Derek/Adam/Stoosh and Jesse Marshall (who has been absent for some reason this season).

Pouliot called up

Might want to give it a little longer. I assume you must be thinking of Bennett. No, but basically I see a player who was supposed to be a top four, offensively skilled defenseman who cannot crack the line up of a team which really needs that kind of player while his draft cohort (Maata) is in his ...

Alright, here's something I don't quite get. The Pens are said to have a bad defense that is killing their ability to generate a rush offensively. They either have to be very conservative (as they were under MJ) OR they will struggle to be defensively responsible. Yet, lets look at the depth chart: ...

OK, you know what, I've had enough of this non-sense about Jim Rutherford from ThePensBlog (TPB). TPB because they have been relentless in their mostly ignorant attacks on Rutherford. They claim the GMJR has been clueless, without any direction at all since taking over, which is total non sense. Rut...

My wife and I were there, yeah.

Yeh on TV it seemed pretty low for the Pens-less than Boston or Montreal.
What would you say the % was? How did it compare to other trips?
