You guys will like Pitlick, has some speed and can play anywhere in the lineup.
A swiss army knife type kinda like Byron. But MTL already has lots of smallish players and so he found himself on the outside looking in, but on a good team with some size he can be a very good addition on any line.

I think the mindset of playing Letang/Karlsson 25 minutes each sounds really good, but in reality it would lead to big problems. If they make the playoffs, that top 4 will be dead by March.

In the regular season, you dont need to play both of those guys 50 out of the 60 minutes of the game.

Yea they don't even NEED to play 50min, we can put together a solid third pair. I honestly don't mind the idea of using Friedman either, he stirs the pot. I actually wished he was a forward. I'd use him on the 4th line.

I know next to nothing about him and haven't seen much. I feel like he will be either a great surprise or forgotten by November. No in-between

I felt the same way about Paul Byron when we got him off the wire.
Pitlick is just like that, some speed and quickness, but he is small and wasn't one of our better small players. Can only have so many in the lineup

Just let Crosby take a lead pipe to Cater's knees. It's win-win.

I wouldn't call it a Grand Slam. To me, it looks like a long fly ball out. It'll take one injury to the core to scuttle the Penguins going forward. Too many Pens supporters are living in the recent past instead of being objective. The Pens haven't won a playoff round in many years and the lack of depth and draft capital is going to be their undoing.

Thanks for letting us know. We had no idea our team has likely aged out and has some rough times ahead.

Hey Madmike, how's the Eastern conference finals again? Maybe the Toronto fan can help us out with that.

One time the guy who played Mr. Belvedere grand slammed his own balls by sitting on them while they were filming and they had to stop the set for a couple of weeks.

Nah, Carter just needs to call up Ray Lewis and get some of that deer antler spary, then go out like a champ.

Shhhh...let the Penwhines fans enjoy themselves! It'll all come crashing down on them soon enough. Let's see... their main 4 are Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlsson. Yeah, I don't injuries being an issue with that group!!

Penguins fans are enjoying themselves. Lemieux, Jagr, Crosby, and Malkin all in the past 30+ years and 5 cups in that era. We all know they’re getting old, but damn it’s been a fun ride.

Remember that time Philly was won a cup? Yea, me neither.

Or he could teach him how to murder someone, tamper with and destroy evidence, thave someone else take the fall, and win the playoff MVP award.

Because (frank) Ray Lewis.

Any Flyers fan that feels he can poop talk any other team's fan base is a (frank)ing moron. Yeah, this is a huge swing for the fences and it it's not lost on anyone that the Penguins will be in serious trouble in about 2 seasons. I'd rather have that and 5 Cups in my lifetime as opposed to 2 Cups in franchise history.
