In other news, Manny Malhotra signed a tryout agreement with Lake Erie.

John Gillies out for 6 months with hip surgery. I'm no doctor, but I think this is the same surgey Rinne underwent.

I've developed a little bit of a man crush on Craig Anderson this year. No idea why. Can't explain it. Not ashamed of it.

Didn't realize how low in the standings Tampa is

Yeah, I only look at the standings 2-3 times a year these days (aside from when they happen to get flashed on the screen during a game).

Tampa has, for some reason, just lost so much creativity...they were a revelation last year, the angles they attacked from and passed into/from, they had crosses, picks, double swings, they had all kinds of stuff from the Soviet elements of the game...this year...I don't know, it's just different...tough to describe...

They had 2 centers playing at an elite level too.

Same here. I am, however, happy with where the Pens stand currently, given how the season started.

Ty Loney absolutely blows.

Postby **meow** » Sun Dec 06, 2015 7:40 pm

You think so? There is definitely some potential there. He's a big boy, so he might have to learn to play in the frame still. I haven't seen him play in a season or two, so I can't really speak about his development.

Alexander Semin on waivers today...hasn't been the same since the wrist surgeries...

Postby **dodint** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:10 pm

Can he coach?

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:14 pm

I'm not sure if he speaks fluent English still...

Postby **dodint** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:15 pm

Pffft.

So long as he has little to no experience coaching, we're good.

Postby **columbia** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:19 pm

I don't like Semin. He's very low energy.

Could you imagine if an NFL ref dropped two f-bombs on a broadcast? I guess you can get away with that kind of thing when nobody is watching your product.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:03 am

Ha ha, that's funny.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:17 am

I wish referees were totally objective observers of the game and called every infraction they saw. When officials become emotionally invested in the game and the players, that's when they control the game instead of monitoring it.
