Geno is lazy?

I'm not sure how a Calder, Hart, Art Ross and Conn Smythe winner, not to mention potential Hart winner at 33, could be called lazy...

Talent =/= hard working. For the record, Lemieux used to smoke cigarettes and could barely practice at times due to back pain and he was still one of the best players in history. Talent can go a long way.

Over all these years I have never heard one person in the organization compliment him on his preparation and work in practice. The opposite if anything.

That first goal first shot list... why did I not see Luca Caputi on it? He did it as a Penguin as well

Byoot!

Nice keep in, Sid

McCann has quietly had a decent season.

Vury nice! Miller with the perfect screen

McCann scored from a similar spot to Zohorna. TIPS TO WIN!

Dude's always got his clown shoes on, what do you expect?

The leprechaun has spoken...

Philly is falling apart at the seems.

Only player I've really heard praised for work in practice or preperation is Sid.

Mario wasn't lazy... Yeah, he smoked cigs when he was younger... a large portion of NHLers these days do cocaine, what's your point on that?

I'd really like to see Marino shoot more.

Jesus. Maybe they will hit 9 again haha. Back to back Hatty’s for Zib. Hart is prob going through a full Murray breakdown right now.

Erod and McCann are developing some nice chemistry.

Jesus ERod! What’re you taking between periods?

McCann, with his 1st PP time, is looking like an attractive pick up in the Yahoo fantasy league with a very thin free agent pool.... But I've already used my 3 moved this week...

The only thing lazy here is your narrative.

He’d get hurt as soo as you picked him. Stay away we need him.

Mountain bikes are awesome. Might be a different yeti though idk

Used to downhill a lot but then all my friends had kids and couldn’t afford fun toys anymore. Now I just have an all purpose intense tracer that I bulked up the suspension on for trails and park.

Petts completes a pass and it’s a nice one

Well there's no way I could pick him up now after reading that.

And Letang, Dupuis, Kunitz, Fleury, Jake. He is one of the top guys and not once has something good been said about his prep.

Point with Lemieux is that you can get by on talent alone when you are that good.

Gotcha. I have an entry level diamondback. Need to find a crew to ride trails with this year.

That sounded like a back-handed compliment.

I remember seeing his training sessions in Russia. Pretty sure the Pens trainers made special trips over there for weeks to train with him in the summers. It was documented. He was praised for this.

If you think these guys didn't have to also work hard with their talent and work hard on their talent to be the best in the world at times then I'm not sure there's any more point to continuing this convo...
