"Contact to the head" shouldn't be a 2 minute penalty.

Not at all. 5 min and a game misconduct

and I wouldn't give you taylor pyatt for yakupov.

I would give them taylor pyatt and $100 if they arranged to pick him up.

I wouldnt ask.

I'm surprised there's not a lot more of this, that was a cluster(frank) of a period for him. He'll probably still finish with a goal and 2 assists in Letang fashion.
- canadianpenfan

I thought it was OK for Letang. In general team is passing to someone who is not there which is never a good sign. Hopefully Dan snaps them out of perfect pass syndrome.

oh make no mistake, i'd give them pyatt for a 7th round pick, just not for yakupov.

It means nothing to say you're trying to eliminate it from the game when that penalty is 2 minutes.

"We can't believe how many players have taken their skate off to cut someone lately, let's make that a minor penalty so they know it won't be tolerated."

Not for that, 'contact to the head. BS call. I have had rougher sex.

The Pens are EXTRA lucky you're not GM

Can we please sign Paul Maurice as an associate coach? He's a very intelligent guy

I saw someone picking up Harry Zolnierczyk at the airport once. Made my life

Astonishes me that both Maurice and Laviolette don't have NHL jobs.

Assistant? I wanted him or Laviolette before they took Eakins.

It was OK for an NHL dman, but especially bad by Letang's standards. I feel like that's where people were bringing in the "Hemsky on defense" comparisons.

Not to trololol guys, but after watching that period I wouldnt trade Smyth for Letang.

lol and that is why Edmonton is Edmonton

Snipe. What work by Geno.

Good. Then I hope you feel the same way when it happens to Crosby again and it ends his career.

Well the Pens are lucky you're not a GM.

You are a lot more logical than that other guy. That kind of play has no place in this league.

Honestly I'd rather play with 3 d men on the ice or double shift other players ... No reason pyatt should be out there ... Even 4 on 5 pens pp kill is number 2

exactly

So Letang must have heard the rumors and decided he's going to tank this game......or at least that's what I hope he's doing.

What? Uneducated fans that don't watch the kid play regularly.

Did Yakupov burn down an orphanage in Pittsburgh or something I'm not aware of?
