Lots of scouting this week between pens/arizona ...interesting

Bout damn time the officials are caught in the bs they pull. It's been my biggest gripe about the product almost forever. The concept of managing the game needs to go. the league has mandated keeping games close(reg season) to increase parity. They have silently held up biases against certain players and teams and have given favorable outcomes to others(boston). This is the least riggable of the four major sports in the US(prob why its the least popular too), but its still evident there is a form of rigging going on. Fans should not just sit there and accept that because well...its an idea sold to them years ago and makes sorta sense....no. Call the bloody rule book and see what happens. I really do not care if for a half season some teams can't adjust and take 20 penalties to their opponents 2. Just call the damn rule book...its there for a reason.

You actually think this is going to change anything?

If you’re making a joke here about how goal totals are advanced stats, good job. I chuckled.

If you were being serious about his advanced stats being good though, what were you looking at? The numbers made him look like a garbage player with a wrister that sometimes went in. I remember thinking we had just realquiles Brandon Sutter from the numbers.

Haha yes it was a joke.

Nope, but thats why sports are becoming less and less a thing to put money and energy into. Occasionally watching when nothing else is going on. Id rather watch wwe to be entertained..at least they embrace the scripting. Pro sports are not much different really.

Beauty sauce from Lafferty

Sick sauce from Lafferty there.

Nice pass from Laff

That was a really nice pass and goal... But how f'n bad are the Sabres to allow not one, but two, odd man breaks for those 3 forwards in the same shift hahah

I think the third and fourth playoff spots are going to come down to the very last games and the Pens are lucky that their last two games of the season are against BUF.

Tanger gonna here about that one the bench

Arizona sites did have them interested in younger defensemen. So maybe Pettersson or Matheson they may be Scouting?

Side note has Penguins as a possibility for Getzlaf (due to Burke).

ERod getting a lot of looks

What an add that would be...

Definitely an entertaining game

Honestly I just feel embarrassed for Buffalo watching this

Yup, but I'm curious where he read that. He just said "side note" has the Pens tied to him. Not sure what that means.

This Tim Peel poop is just woke folk bs. You guys want the rule book being called to a T in the playoffs? No one wants that’s. Personally I think less penalties = better game. Special teams are generally boring. I also like watching penalty killing better than pp though?

Who said "side note" was it in comments or a source?

Edit: nevermind haha I read back

Just read Yohe's interview with Burke and the biggest take away is he wants to make this team bigger and more physical. He said straight up you don't bring him and Hextall on if you're not looking for a different composition.

No mention of targets, but he basically said Poulin and Legare are not in play. I'm not familiar enough with Burke or Hex enough yet to know what's misdirection and what isn't. One thing we can for JR is he was very transparent.
