Yeah, I expect they'll work there, was just joking because that team has now moved twice.

It’s not like he went to Columbus.

It’s more impressive that Rust and Sid have lit it up without him. If only sully was willing to tinker with lines to get the best out of this team. Having Jake would’ve helped Geno immediately.

This made me laugh out loud. Then I thought Nomads rolled off the tongue better. Then I thought their theme song could be “Wherever I May Roam” …. My brain is weird

Not sure how unpopular of an opinion this is, but I think Quebec City, while a really fun place to visit, should absolutely not get an expansion team/relocation team. Financially I think they'd really struggle.

Sid and Rust not skipping a beat and Bunting bringing new spirit to the team and specifically the 2nd line is why this trade works. Sullivan wasn’t ever going to put Guentzel with Malkin barring a Sid injury. Hoping Smith stays on the 1st line.

A football, cornerback analogy… (insert a lmao here) -- an entire NFL game is 11 minutes of ACTION. Look it up. Could be the only sport where the clock is running and nothing is going on.

With offense and defense being equal -- and not counting punts, field goals and kickoffs – which would make the following number less time means that a corner back is playing less time (5-1/2 minutes) per game then a 4th liner in SILKY Sullivans system. The CHEF plays almost twice as much as the average NFL cornerback.

In fact, if it wasn’t for beer and for friends who haven’t much else to do in their life – no one would watch the NFL!

Well he’s also in better shape than a 25 year old football player.

I think it's just high hopes of them getting a NHL team. Winnipeg is struggling...again, while winning, I don't think Bettman has the appetite right now.

No, I’m not. Lump me in with Grinder when talking business. However, I had the same thought about the gong and sitar alerting everyone the team was coming and then they jump on the ice when the snare kicks in!

Man, I can't even make a sarcastic comment without it being picked apart. I was in no way serious saying that Jeff Carter is a good shut down player.

Carter sucks, hopefully he won't be playing anymore after this year.

Isles lose in SO. We are 4 back with a game in hand and hold the tie breaker. If we get to two, have a chance to overtake them if we beat them in regulation on the last game.

It would be weird if we ended up playing the Canes in the first round.

Yohe gave the breakdown of scenarios and is it’s looking pretty good for us. As far as I’m concerned we’re already in.

Harsh considering he single handedly unassisted saved the Pens season. Especially when EK did his best job to sabotage it.

Hard o'le matchup tonight. Having my doubts this will be a point earning affair. Also, I would have started Jarry 🤷

Mr Spicy Pork scored a goalie goal last night in the A. Seems like anybody who plays goalie for the Pens has to also score.

I think Carters inspired heroics from the other night will have the boys dialed in. You just can’t teach that leadership and experience.

Yes. Fortunate for us Carter had a brain fart chose the low IQ play of shooting on a breakaway rather than the smart vet play of bringing it behind the net to kill time
