Time to ship Letang? Yay or nay?
- chimpira


If you can move him without retaining salary and bring in a #1, then yes.

Good luck homie. I'm rooting for the Caps from here on out. I wanna see Ovi lift the cup more than anyone else left.

I've never seen a penguin team look more disinterested in a game that mention so much. Let an was horrible! Brassard, why did we get him again? Kessel was a shell! I knew this couldn't go on forever but to lose with so little effort was a disgrace!

wanted

Caps wanted it more. Pens were slow to every loose puck. Injury or whatever else, the Pens didn't play up to our expectations. Hang your hat on back to back and hope they learn from this.

Montreal doesnt have a 1D to trade away

I was just mocking the Subban-Weber trade. I don't want any part of any defenseman Montreal has.

Nah. Go Caps. I wanna see Ovi get a cup, and I'd rather the Pens lose to the best.
- j.boyd919


F that. Really, because that would mean Wilson lifts the cup. I just can't sanction that.

Go Knights go, I'm pulling for MAF to have a hollywood ending for his first season in the desert.

I’m most dissapointed with the lack of adjusting to the game the Caps were playing. They just kept doing the same thing all night long.

Great run.


Congrats Blackstrom. It has to feel good.

Trade for a stay-at-home guy and some depth? I was actually thinking that Letang would fit well in MTL.
- chimpira

No if you ship out Letang you need a 1D. End of story.

Me too.
You guys had a great run, time for a little more time off to recharge. They deserve it.

The only real options IMO are Karlsson and if LAK is truly looking for a change from Doughty... I'm sure neither are realistic though.

My love for Fleury out weighs anything about any of the remaining teams.

Also, while I wouldn't mind seeing Ovechkin and Backstrom win the Cup, I hate Wilson, Oshie, and Trotz more than I like those two. Won't be heart broken if they win, but certainly not rooting for it.

agreed but with the way he is playing at key moments, you still need a 1D.

he was always prone to getting lost in his own end during cycles, but its not just that anymore. its glaring inability to cover back after pinches. the ability to defeat presses by skating the zone out and the ability to get good stretch passes going the other way has been glaring too.

i agree with you, after the instant anger subsides, rationality does dictate you cant just cut him loose obviously. yes hes the number one on this team, but its more by default now than merit.

He was one season removed from neck surgery lol, and he still put up a poop load of points. That last play was on both him and Dumo for trying to jump up. Dude's fine. Pens are fine. We just won back-to-back cups. They'll be back next year.

On the plus side...I've been keeping this avatar of Hank tipping over the net for the past 2 years because the Pens hadn't lost a series since he did that. You don't mess with a streak, after all...but looking forward to a new one after all this time.

I had Sheary going with Hunwick to dump him.

Obviously just have to do some reach arounds in Ottawa and get a Letang for Karlsson swap.

If Nashville can do the Weaber Subban swap, we can do that one

I'll settle for a puck to the teeth, just so it wipes off that dumbass grin.
