mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

IMO, Pierre needed something to talk about for the Isles and those two weren’t horrendous in the first, unlike the rest of their team.

If you think about all the things Pierre was saying, they could have easily been about Ceci. They aren’t doing anything special that Ceci isn’t doing.

[shmenguin]

i haven't listened to pierre or NBC all year. i forgot how blech it is. there was one moment where the reasoning went like this:

Pierre: "Because the Isles have been allowed to hook everyone without getting called, I think this penalty for punching Guentzel in the face is wrong".

Other guy in the booth: "Yep"

...it's not good.

[Gaucho]

Setting terrible standards, then dragging everything else down. Hm, sounds familiar.

[mikey]

I don't care for Pelech. Pulock has really progressed. But I don't think Pelech is anything...

He was named the second star of the game last night by NBC despite being a dash-2 in the first 10 minutes or whatever. Including his double dipping on punching Kapanen in the head on the second goal that helped the front to be open for Carter to whirl one in...

it’s funny because on the islanders subreddit they’re complaining that Pierre was slurping the Pens the whole time

I think we can all agree that Pierre is a nuisance

That's because he's paid to announce a hockey game, not a wrestling match. Can't talk about what you don't know

[shmenguin]

The isles are so weird.

Komarov playing with Barzal, their 4th line getting seemingly first line ice time and their best player right now is a 3C.

Trotz has garbage character, but he’s a wizard because nothing about their forward group makes sense.

[mikey]

Trotz is bad character...?

[shmenguin]

Yes. But it’s a boring Caps/Wilson thing.

[NTP66]

[King Colby]

I'd definitely replace komarov on that first line and put Zajac in for Wahlstrom.

[meow]

No they need Wahlstrom in. He’s right below Barzal when it comes to instant offense. He’s got that bomb on the PP

[King Colby]

Pens aren't gonna let him unleash it

[shmenguin]

Komarov is multiplicity 3rd clone hornqvist and I don’t understand him as an NHL regular.

If you need a penalty killer with non-impactful physical play, pull someone up from the farm and see if you’ve got something cooking with a young guy.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I honestly didn’t know Komarov was still a thing. Or I mean, I guess he still isnt

[King Colby]

I dont see a reason for both komarov and martin.

[King Colby]

All that being said, Anders Lee would really make them pretty solid up front. Not at all sold on their D though. Leddy is great, pulock is pretty good, Mayfield is solid, pelech is OK, the other two kinda stink

[meow]

Mayfield stinks with a capital STINKS

[robbiestoupe]

I expect multiple PPs for the Islanders early on. Did they get one last game, other than the Rusty hand job?

If that is how it plays out and the Pens can kill the penalties, I expect the good guys to come out on top.

[PFiDC]

Closing your hand on the puck will now be referred to as The Rusty Handjob from now on.

[LeopardLetang]

at one point Rust was so screwed he just shoulda wound his arm a few times like a popeye punch before throwing it out of the zone

[shmenguin]

Bonino did something like that in game 7 against tampa right? Or was it just a lazy puck over the glass thing?

[Gaucho]

Remember when the Pens took three (?) consecutive delay-of-game penalties against the Caps? Boy, that was fun.

I thought I was going to have multiple heart attacks.

[willeyeam]

My heart rate just finally got back to its resting rate this year
