Official 08-09 Penguins Thread

It sure seems like it, wow…

I would say Malkin, but English seems to be a prerequisite for a leadership role.

I kinda like the idea. You think when you have the A on your jersey you may step up your game on and off the ice…

So my roomate’s company has been developing an online fantasy hockey type game for the only Pens, it should be relased in the next week or two and ill post the link but they said they will be awarding prizes about every week and i believe one of the grand prizes is a meet and greet as well as a morning skate with crosby, should be pretty sweet.

sweet!

well wtf is happening with the pens!! these lines are horrible, they have no urgency, they’re blowing leads, etc… we need to start trading people and get some talent!

Havlat, Afinogenov, gaborik( if he was healthy and didnt want alot of money), kovalchuk (would be nice but him and sid hate each other with a passion and it would never work), and there are others out there that we could pick up… but the pens need to do something and step up.

dupius, fedotenko, arent doing anything, plus we have others in the ahl that arent bad that we can trade!

and what sucks is that the pens openly admitted that they usually always lose the first game if they play back to back… that sucks

umm.

:bowrofl: maybe we could get AO and have all 3 of the leagues leading scorers. how much more talent do you want?

didnt fedotenko just have a 2 goal game?

no urgency, but you want to get rid of dupuis?? i really cant name anyone they’ve played against this year that gets to a loose puck faster… theres a lot more to hockey then what number is in the goal column next to your name on the score sheet.

:slap:

^ good post.

I think it is injuries finally catching up to us. Figure we have 2 allstar d-men out…not that Letang and Goli aren’t doing well, but we would be a better team with #19 and #55 back there…especailly on the PP. Then add in Ziggy and Kennedy are out, good faceoff man and a energy guy…no gill, fleury… it all adds up. Look at our lineup last night how many minor leaguers did we have? I think cone late December early Jan we will pick it back up again if we get some healthy players back.

I will say though I do not like how we are winning and losing games this season. It seems like we win by coming back which is good, but I would like to see us control the game from the start. Then when we do start good we seem to blow a lead and do not finish the game strong. I mean like 1/2 of our games went to OT…b/c of either having to comeback in the 3rd or blowing a lead. I just want to see them play more 60 minute games and start and finish strong. I think/hope this will happen once we get some healthy bodies back.

exactly we cant control one game, either we are losing and wait till the 3rd to make a come back or we have to play catch up.

as for fedotenko, WOW one game with 2 goals… nobody besides crosby and malkin can stay on a streak with points. and yes it does matter about the score sheet cause if there are no points next to anyones name then you dont win. Ya I want people out there that give 100% note I didnt put talbot or staals name into my rant bc to me they play 100% or more a game even though there is no points next to their name. but fedotenko and dupius have been jumping through all the lines and it doesnt seem like they have chemistry… thats what im saying.

yes injuries are hurting us especially on D, but im talking offense. and yes once ziggy and TK get back then they will help out. but i think we need to find someone to put up on that top line with crosby. it seems only malkin can play with him, and everyone else is just there to fill in.

I can pretty much agree with all of that. If you think of it how many “true” top 6 players do we really have? Maybe 4?..Sid, Geno, Pistol Pete, and Satan. Pistol Pete and Satan are too inconsistent…You could argue Staal is a top 2 liner but he plays center and we have those. Not sure what is going to happen in the near future (this season) but I am sure Shero knows we need a solid winger who can light the lamp on a somewhat consistent basis…hence Satan and Fedetanko having 1yr deals

What

a

Game!

Nothing like some total domination of the Islanders to cure a 3 game slump!

i want to hear some more “we need to trade up for some more scoring talent” bullshi t from hopewell’s leading hockey analyst

first off your an ass! and ill start listening to you once you start consistently scoring on the ice :slight_smile:

second wow so he can score when they put him out there the entire game against one of the worse teams in the league… ill take back my statement when he can do it consistently and against teams like the sharks, nyr, vancouver… etc…

ya so everyones excited that he scored, good for him, do it again and again and again… dont go on dry spells then have one big game and think hes an all star… I want to see people other then malkin and crosby doing something game after game after game…

dont you?

Awesome game. It was a great game to be at…I even watched most of it again when I got home. Anyone else go?

Coach Hoth…

What’s North Hills’ record? :kekegay:

I passed on tix cus I’ve seen the Islanders at least 10 times, and now I am kicking myself for not taking them.

well the team I coach is 3-4-1. (2 of the game we should have won, the other 2 we got crushed)

and your point is? don’t see you doing anything… oh wow shawns team is 7-0. Good im glad they have a talented team… sorry we don’t have their record but atleast the kids try their hardest, well atleast some… if I could trade some that could put points up, or send them down to a freshmen team (which we dont have) I would…

whats your point. I am trying the best I can with what I got…

im just messing with ya… cause you cant compete to my level of points in the C leauge.

well arent you snippy.

you coming tonight?

and shawns team lost to pine richland

whats tonight?
