It was the free hand on the player that got the call, not the foot.

Look if you put a free hand on the player it gets called all the time. No brainer.

There in lies the problem. He didn't have one free hand, he had two on Sid....therefor no call.

Don't know about time against Tavares, but Sutter is averaging 15+ minutes a game and has not been on the ice for any goals against......he hasn't been on the ice for any goals for either.

My problem is Sutter's foot speed.
Iggy needs to play with Sid after that the lines work themselves out.

Iggy has not had much chemistry with Malkin. I'd stick him with Sid and Duper, and Kunitz with Malkin and Neal when he returns.

AMEN.

Yep. That's why i'm trying to figure out what that video shows?

hes talking about 3 games??!??! and really just 1 game being that both players scored all of their goals in yesterdays game...well thats stupid...certainly he cant mean JUST the 3 games of playoffs

and where does that connection come from anyone?!
- LetsGoIsles

That's exactly what I meant troll.... I'm not saying JT isn't the better player overall... but he's come up small in this series up to this point.... saying Kunitz has more goals than Tavares isn't anything more than a fact.

But it's the Penguins were talking about here so facts carry little weight in dealing with this team..... opinions and blatant lies carry the day.

Who cares about the playoffs? We all know the only thing that matters is regular season production.

I'd at least like them to try it. Iggy isn't the most dynamic skater and Neal isn't going to be greased lightning either when he comes back. They need another guy on that line that can really skate.

Is Crosby ok?

I sure do miss this guy...

Is Crosby ok?

Funny you ask...I could've swore it was Tavares that was crying after the game yesterday

Is Crosby ok?


- jimmc7722

5 points in 2 games, i think he's alright.

Agreed. They need to get the top 2 units producing 5 on 5 again.

i think most of your fellow penguin fans would agree i wasnt trolling...in fact, you were the one that made some comment seemingly out of left field that had no rhyme or reason or quite frankly at flow..."I'll personally take the nuts considering I'd be wearing a cup but don't hate on Kunitz cause he's got more goals than JT"

not sure how Tavares got involved in what i was discussing... and yes, the facts are kunitz has 2 goals and tavares has one goal. congrats, awards will be handed out after snack time.

and while were playing the mine-is-bigger-than-yours/stating-the-obvious game...kyle okposo has more goals than malkin...

They aren't going to be able to do that if they insist on looking for that stretch pass coming out of the zone. They are most productive when they have good puck support and the forwards come back to give the D easier outlet options. In the absence of that, they just don't possess the puck much.

Yeah, but Malkin has twice as many points.......we could do this all day.....

exactly...pretty childish, no?

EDIT: i just dont get how when discussing dirty plays IE carkner/kunitz, it all of a sudden unexpectedly takes a turn to a discussion about kunitz/jt...seems odd to me.

just kunitz have more goals than jt...yes
would everyone prefer jt over kunitz...yes

discussion over...now back to our original programming.

The only "orginal programming" for Isles fans is you sitting on the couch watching other teams play hockey in May. Don't worry...you'll be there soon enough

Just heard the Islander radio guy saying the Isle are basically emulating what the flyers did last year (not his exact words but it was his sentiment). Intercepting that long first pass and killing us in transition. Sometimes the only Pens skaters in the frame are the two D.....no forward in sight.

The thing I don't understand is the Pens corrected this after that crazy Montreal game. They essentially flipped a switch and played a much more responsible game. Now...here we are again. Very frustrating.
