That arena went nuts last night when Martin got the insurance goal.

Every home arena is going to go nuts when their own player scores a playoff goal in an extremely crucial game to get a W hahah...but good for him for doing it. Years ago I would of liked him in the Pens bottom 6.

They don’t play the right way for a Martin-type to be effective.

Just trying to occupy my time I mess around with capfriendly.com. What's some realistic Defense options the Pens could get after (hopefully) trading away Rutta and Petry?

Rutta was dece, just overpaid. I think he might be dumpable to a team that might think he’s a capable second pairing guy. Petry I think we may just have to hope a second year in the system will do him good.

Whyyyyyy?

As a diehard Pens fan I really dont give much of a sh!t about this...but it would be nice for a majority of the people I love, and care about in this life, to get rewarded for their unwavering loyalties their whole life....plus hockey is like a religion up here haha

Unless they are pittsburgh fans (frank) them. I revel in my friends hockey misery. Especially Montreal and Edmonton fans.

I agree. Rutta was just a case of a player we could sign for $1.5M and we decided to give almost $3M.

Petry is not a bad player, just not worth his cap hit. He's more like a $4.5-5M guy tbh.

I hope we can find a way to re-sign Zucker for less than $4.5M.

hahahah...you landlocked people have small hearts compared to our big by the oceans ones.

I mean, I really dont give that much of a sh!t after the Pens get knocked out, or dont make it at all, just really hope it isn't a Metro team....or the Bruins haha.

If the Islanders find a way to come back they could get dangerous. Carolina is really good at laying on the ice like they’ve just been shot in the back with a 12 gauge loaded with rock salt though.

The whole point of sports is to be a tribal Richard and get it all out of your system so that you’re not a tribal Richard about stuff that actually matters. Being a “nice” sports fan that just hopes everyone has a good time out there is silly.

I wish all teams in the Metro nothing but pain. Somewhat indifferent to the rest of the teams.

Islanders aren't that good of a team this year, dude. They have the best goalie in the league and that's the biggest factor of how they squeaked in. Pens almost squeaked in despite their goalies. Canes are down two very important top 6 wingers and still MAJORLY outplayed them in game 4.

I was only speaking of the last game and its not even close. Canes majorly outplayed them.

As for this past regular season, which I also spoke of, they are bottom 10'ish in all 5 on 5 metrics as far as I know.
