I get dead weight employees here fired. Hiring you just to fire you sounds like wasted effort.

My tasks are still ahead of schedule. Also I'm sure you've noticed I'm not on nearly as much as I was in years past.

And having to do dozens of application generations a day gives me dozens of ~5 minute time periods of dead time waiting for said generation to finish.

Meh... only been banned once so far this year.

Same here. Some of my 3D models take 5-10 minutes to fully render.

After two days at Chevron I feel like I am qualified to head the EPA.

I bet Torts wishes he didn't open his big fat stupid mouth

He probably should have referenced some obscure stats and given the best possible odds to his teams success? All seriousness I doubt it. Dudes a boss that’s accomplished a lot.

There's nothing wrong with some gamesmanship and showing confidence in your team, but when he called out Rask saying they dented him? That was just dumb.

Perron has played so well these playoffs. Always scratch my head on how he just didn't click in the Pens top 6. He's a good player.

I think the expectations for him were misguided and wasn't utilized properly. He was looked at as being the star winger for a line instead of support.

I always thought he looked hesitant as a Pen. Puck gets moved into an area and he would watch it go before reacting, too stationary in the slot at times, stuff like that

Pouliot is not being qualified by Vancouver and will become a UFA. I just have this weird feeling that Ruhwedel signs with Vancouver

He had so many games as a no-show for the Pens. Pretty skilled guy when he wanted to be.

I just think they tried to utilize him as a goal-scoring-winger and that's not what he is.

I would love to see Sundqvist end this thing. Low glove wrister through a screen maybe?

He actually was a bust for us lol we paid a high price to get him out of Edmonton. I was happy when we got Hagelin for him. Perron looked lazy AF with us. Almost like Brassard material, a bit better.

Most of us thought the 1st RP was a hefty price to pay but we knew he was very skilled and could find chemistry with Sid. Didn’t happen.

Funny, all 4 game sevens this year have been won by the team that was down 3-2.

He put up 22 points in his first 43 games with the Pens. He just got snake bit like a mufugga the next season. His apples were still consistent. His shooting percentage just dropped to a measly 4.2 when he’s used to shooting around 8-9.

He's a very inconsistent goal-scorer. He seems to score in bunches then go dry quite a bit, but that's also not uncommon of most players who put up around 20 goals. If they were more consistent they'd be 30+ goal-scorers.

I just think the Pens expected him to be the goal-scorer Sid needed on his wing and that's just not who he is. He's a fairly well-rounded player with above average offensive upside. He's basically a more consistent and more skilled Bryan Rust.

Just like Rust but different.

He's a slightly above average, average player lol

He's not a finisher and that's what they hoped he'd be next to Sid. If he was brought to be the support player on his line he would have stuck.

EDIT: Perron could have basically been Dupuis 2.0, but they wanted him to be what Jake is now.

Yeah that’s every “goal scorer” who’s not elite. If you’re not potting 40 goals, you’re not consistent. That’s pretty much a given.

It’s definitely given, but I think some people around here aren’t happy unless you’re scoring every game, i.e. Connor Sheary
