Coreau getting the nod in net. LGW!

Bert didn't fight because nobody wanted a part of him. There were lots of times people started acting tough until he got close, then they stfu.

Our first line is good man. NHL video below https://www.nhl.com/video/zetterberg-opens-up-the-scoring/t-283200844/c-46983503

I'm fine with Coreau playing tonight. This is a game they went into heavily favored to lose regardless, Mrazek came off two solid starts after a few abysmal appearances, why toss him in against the offensive powerhouse Pens and risk him giving up 4-5 and knocking him down a notch? The Isles game tomorrow is less tilted, for both Mrazek and his confidence, and as a game overall that can be won. Mrazek gives us the better chance to win than Coreau in a more winnable game. Just my opinion though.

Ever since "Do you believe in Miracles!?!" Nearly Every announcer has tried to create their own iconic moment. Most to fail.

Zetterberg looks way better playing with Mantha!

Z + Mantha = Magic

Your buddy must not be that good of a gambler if he gives Howard a 42% chance to win this game.

Nyet. Howard too injury prone, historically s***s the ice after December. Consistently. You don't trade Mrazek. That would spell the immediate end of Holland...which I'd love, but not at the expense of Petr.

Curse of the 2 goal lead? With this wings team its the "curse of the any goal lead or tied in the third."

They are still very good at spending large periods of time in their own zone

Fair point. The Pens announcers are terrible, but an extended listen to Jack Edwards is enough to make one want to self-Trotsky. If he was Finnish, it would be a scene from Spamalot....

Mental picture of Swedish fish, flopping around

I imagine other teams' fans feel similarly when they're forced to listen to Mickey.

Ya, these kids are real, let's hope they don't turn into Nyquist and Tatar 2.0.

i like that Coreau kid. Will be good backup for Howie and the starting tender in two years.

I would argue that all of those players use(d) their size to their advantage. Like, Mantha doesn't throw his weight around aggressively, but we've seen him use his size to protect the puck, drive to the net, outmuscle smaller players, intercept the opposition's pass attempts with his long reach, etc.

Yeah Bertuzzi def got psychologically screwed after that whole incident

As many goals as Holmstrom cause to be disallowed, how could that Pens goal have possibly stood?

Probably but this is Roots Canada... so they shouldn't be quite so biased, IMO. I listen to FSD because I like my homer announcers. LOL

Jeez, I just thought something nice about the Pitts announcers until they started whinging about never ever getting any calls... Oops, there is a weak trip... never mind. Ugh

Read my post, I'm asking for trades where one side actually won (like the Wings did with Shanahan or Montreal did with Roy). Subban / Weber deal was one for one. Pretty much a stalemate. Each side had a major piece to contribute. That's like trading Seguin for Kane or something. Or Toews for Bergeron. Hall - Larsson seems lopsided but one team needed a D-man and had overstock of young players that couldn't get into the playoffs. Maybe that will be another "once in a blue moon" lopsided trade like the Seguin one was.. ? Someone previously was talking about how Holland is bad at trading. And my point is that it's not actually true. The guy just doesn't do much trading to begin with. And when he does, it's usually low risk. And my second point is, who actually in the league does bad trades? Once in a while maybe? Everyone is too smart to make the wrong move now. And when they do make moves, they have something worthwhile to give and receive.

Unfortunately I feel the only way he gets us a 1st rounder is if he is up near 25 goals at the deadline. With this team anemic offense I dont see that. I see it the other way. He doesnt do it much because he rarely gets good results. Sure he is no Milbury in the failing department but hes also not really a winner in the long game of trades during his tenure. I wouldnt call KFQ a worthless deal. The contract he was given after that was the mistake.

Jamie Benn is the top PF in the game to me. Over PPG, captain, can do it all. He reminds me very much of a prime Shanahan
