Always good to take this old Caps team to OT. I think they fade by the end of the season.

They will.

Hard to enjoy this game very much after losing one of our better players.

The Pens have 16 games yet to play with Buff and NJ.

Blue has to be the center on PP 2. They don't get a ton of time but he's got hands and is great on faceoffs. Plus, he's more than earned it.
- Thorny87

Agree. Name him full-time 3C and C on PP2 and make lines around that.

They will.

I was just thinking that it's good to have the crap teams near or after the trade deadline when they sell off their good players.

I honestly think that despite those two goals, this was the Pens most complete performance. Dominated 5v5, solid play by Jarry and both the PK and PP came up big.

He couldn't, Panik was coming too fast and got body position before MM could pivot. MM played it fine, that one is on Jarry.

Played that fine? Dude got caught flat flooted at the blue line and had no gap control.

Both regulation goals on deflections. That should tell you how important they are.

Oh yeah I thought all in all the Pens played a great game.

I think Zucker’s season could have been turned around by putting him with Crosby. He’s a good player miscast as our third best winger, but he is our third best winger none the less. This is going to hurt bad.

100% this. I like his game. He's just not a match with Geno.

Forsberg

I keep seeing this name get thrown around on here today. Is he even available?

Forsberg

He won't come cheap. 9 goals and 7 assists in 18 games. Is he still rockin' the hipster stache? That should bring the price down a little.

I saw Freidman on the NHL network. He said the Preds are listening on everyone not named Ellis, Josi and Rinne. Of course with the caveat.... It will take a ton to get him.

They're gonna want pieces we don't have. A+ prospects and high picks.

Nice win. Would have been nice to get regulation 2 pts - outplayed the Caps for most of the game. That Marino-Matheson pairing looked shaky ... uffff. MM completely lost Panik on the first goal. Just let him skate by. Weak sauce.

Also, Sheary is becoming a Penguins killer. Seriously? Sheary?!

Those 3 "untouchable" names leave me very confused. Rinne I get for nostalgia reasons, but the other two are on the wrong side of 30 and make a lot for a long time. Ellis not so much but Josi? They would be wise to listen to offers for him. Granted, they are a tad thin on D with Eckholm on the shelf, but still, when do they hope to be competitive again? Johansen and Duchene are screwing up their cap and would be difficult to move.

That's all me haha. Friedman said everyone is fair game other than Josi, Ellis and Rinne

Yea I don't get Josi either. Hell they traded Weber haha

Yeah, maybe how well Weber is playing at age 35 is the reason they don't make that mistake again. Now I'm arguing against myself. Still, $9M per for the next 7 years after this year? Who knows, maybe I'm completely off-base here.

They have had a crazy amount of good dmen over the years. Hell they supplied the Habs, Wild and Jackets all #1 dmen while still having their own #1 lol

Edit: Timonen, Zidlicky and Hamhuis were good as hell too. Ekholm and Ellis who are still there. No wonder why Shero loved drafting dmen lol.

The only decent games that piece of poop plays is against the penguins.

Agree Panik was MMs daddy on that one. Saying MM played that fine is the observation of the year lol

He is being discussed in a trade to Toronto for Nylander, Dermott, and a prospect
