If we end up trading Downie, get ready for the most catastrophic flip out (by me) of all time. I will explode with anger.

Please choose one:

a) Do not trade Downie
b) Downie for Tyler Kennedy
c) Downie for Jagr

Go.

@StanLoveTheShow The @penguins swept the @NHLBruins in the regular season a couple years ago. Then Boston swept the Pens in the playoffs.

No problem. It's a quality site with good sports articles.

So, I probably shouldn't post a picture of a former player with an augmented head apparel?

I'm sure that posting a picture of a hockey player for pure enjoyment that does not directly violate the Hockeybuzz CoC would be allowed.

And I believe the year we won the cup we went 1-3 against the Caps. So it looks like either way there's a positive.

what if it's a package deal with Sutter? Consider it collateral damage

Yes, but you also went 4-2 against the Flyers that year, so....

But then again... JR is a grumpy old man, decisions will be made based on the outcome of this game, imo

I think by this stage of the season the Pens MGMT. has a good idea of what they need and don't need. 1 game isn't going to make GMJR change his mind

The problem is that management isn't good at identifying what roster deficiencies there are. Which is why Sutter is the 3C at $3.3m/yr. And also why teams like Chicago always seem to have the right players for the postseason.

Can't believe Rutherford gave Sutter such an awful contract, brought in a broken-down Scuderi, and refused to use a first round pick on a forward,

Whatever, I'm right.

We didn't play the Flyers in the playoffs in the cup year, so...

Whatever, I'm right.

No, you're a flyer fan. You're always wrong here when it suits our needs

Dude, you're so wrong. Your wrongness is so wrong that it doesn't even register on the wrongness scale.

Sutter was compared to Anisimov in negotiations which is why the money is the same. The other option was 1 yr for $2.85m which obviously would be preferable. And I'm not ruling out Pouliot developing into a better player than Forsberg either.

Um....what????

Did Sutter go to arbitration that year ?

You can stop being wrong any time now.
