Kunitz doesn't belong on the big ice and playing on this stage...his talent level doesn't compare to everyone else and he has clearly struggled...he needs to sit when the games matter.

Believe it or not, this doesn't even make his Top Ten.

Wow.

I'm not sure if that's more scary or impressive

Funny how you bring up the word "tool" when you seem to be the sharpest one in the shed.

Why don't you go back to bashing your own group of first overall draft picks that have amounted to absolutely nothing.

Your team is trash, and the only chance you have of winning another cup is if Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, etc. come out of retirement and you'll probably still come up short.

Is this real life?

What a tool.

Tone of voice? This is a message board.
Or do u mean all of the Canadians uve been interviewing?

And we bashed Crosby before the Olympics??

Fact is, our best player hasn't been our best player. Tough to win that way.

The only real issue that I heard pre games was the Kunitz selection. He never belonged on this team. But just sit him and move on. We have enough stars that his inclusion shouldn't matter much.

Are your posts always that stupid?

The only toolbag in here is you...

But when Letang returns from LTIR and they have to put his cap back on? The thing is just because you appear to have room due to LTIR; you don't. Once those guys return you would be royally effed....

What are the odds a guy who had a stroke like him is back this year?

I just love how a decent sized element of the hockey media and fan base feel the need to find someone to blame for an undefeated team.

Agreed 100% and they found it... Kunitz (Scapegoat)

Giroux was always the better pick. As much as I hate the Flyers, I was shaking my head at the fact he was left off. Great skating Center that can easily play wing....

They say 6 weeks. Could happen. I don't know. But there are others on LTIR too.

We're talking about kunitz not belonging on team Canada. What does Paul Coffey have to do with anything?

Another banger post!
This thread is gold.

That group is 20,20 and 22. I wouldn't call them washed just yet
You pens fans are killing it!

6 weeks before hes re-evaluated. I think the realistic timeframe for Letang is next year.

Funny that all the things Pens fans say he excels at are the things he is not doing for Team Canada....
- Iggysbff

I haven't watched enough of Canada to see what Kunitz is/isn't doing, but it's not like they just randomly picked some plugger to include on the team to make Crosby comfortable - the guy is a very effective NHL player, and he obviously has chemistry with Crosby. Watch, he and Crosby will team up for a big goal shortly and the narrative will suddenly change.

well you guys wont have to worry about that idiot

Fellow penguin fan camaraderie no matter how retarded the posts are.

Admirable or blind?

I think what is kinda frustrating so far is that the appeal was supposed to be was instant chemistry in a short tournament. Let alone in terms of scoring, they haven't seemed to be playing well together period so far.

So is it that kind of instant chemistry that takes a little while and has to develop?

I will agree on how fickle the fans/media can be though.

DERP!!!!!

So are a few other Canadian players that weren't even considered. I mean they left off guys who have had 100 point seasons to try and get a guy to mesh with Crosby, and so far it's backfired, like most predicted.

DERP!!!!!


- Killian

So weak.

Cheering for a better team clearly hasn't improved your hockey iq.

And glass house bro. 5 lottery picks in a row.
Damnit!! I'm letting the quality of your posts bring me down to your level...well played

DERP!!!!!


- Killian

Typical Pens fans....


WTF does any of this have to do with the Oilers? Nothing. But you have no real rebuttal so all you can come back with is "Ya but Oilerz suck hyuk hyuk hyuk"

Sad....

Too much logic here! They don't appreciate this here apparently

Cool...talking about a guy that doesn't belong on a team that's 3-0. Makes a lot of sense douchebag.

I guess that's the result of rooting for a team year after year that is the complete scum of the NHL. You guys have quite a lock on that last place in the NHL trophy every season. How many 1st overall picks is it going to take before you actually start winning games? Must suck to have to watch repeats of the 80s to enjoy watching your team win a game. Go back to your troll filled blog and cry some more about your garbage team

Giroux was always the better pick. As much as I hate the Flyers, I was shaking my head at the fact he was left off. Great skating Center that can easily play wing....
- sbroads24

Kunitz has been a good player his entire career. Are Giroux, Hall ... more talented??? sure!!! This is not an all star game. How is it that anyone here makes the claim that good players don,t have a role on great teams or with great players? 2009 Penguins probably don't win the cup without Kennedy and Talbot, neither of which is a great player. I can find equally important "good players" on even the best cup teams ... Stop the nonsense, Kunitz has been in the top 10 in every major scoring category the last two seasons!!!! He deserved to be there, end of story. If they sit him now fine. But this conversation is utterly ridiculous. Canada is 3 0!!! Are you really saying a solid hockey player that's won 2 stanley cups playing with some of the best player's in the world forgot how to play hockey? or can't adjust??? What about Sharp and St Louis who have done nothing! This is total nonsense and show's the arrogance of some Canadian fans.

We"re clearly aware of how bad the oilers are.
But he doesn't seem to be aware of how stupid he's coming off.

Ignorance is bliss they say

And to answer your question...Yes, that picture next to my name is of me kissing the Stanley Cup. Something you'll never get to do, because your garbage team will never win another one
