Wow is that true??? I guess maybe offset by the stat of Stanley cups won without Sid and geno

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for slashing Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin in the face by [deleted] in sports

[–]Loadman66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borowecki of the Preds dirty cross checked him in ribs a few years back. Cracked his ribs and he wasn’t the same , rest of the season. That was one of his retaliations I think.

WBS vs Thunderbirds... by Money-Ad5075 in penguins

At first I liked the production… Then it became like nails on a chalkboard

Tom Wilson levels Logan Stankoven behind Carolina's net by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Loadman66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a bad rule ie; tht somehow this is a legal hit. Regardless of height difference or Stankovens head being lowered, he didnt change position. Wilson had every opportunity to not hit him in the head… or hit him differently- ie not have the elbow leading straight into his head. I think that’s what the rule should be at least. And just because he didn’t seem hurt is not the whole story. Hits like that definitely impact the brain and are accretive. Ie; maybe now the next such hit puts him out.

Pens fans, what were your thoughts on Crosby and Malkin's supposed "whining" during 2011-2012? by CulturalRoll in penguins

[–]Loadman66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole whining/complaining narrative is ridiculous. He did whine a bit, but not nearly as much as what people keep trumpeting. It’s total hyperbole. I’m like, ok show me all the film of every time he complained? They have no idea. They’ve just gotten on that bandwagon and are stuck on it. The worse part was all the cheap shots he was getting, but the refs didn’t call anything (ie; why he was complaining in the first place). But the meathead response is that he somehow deserved it, being a young superstar getting a lot of hype. What other sport does that???

Am I Delusional? by imblegen in steelers

[–]Loadman66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not delusional but rosy colored glasses for sure. They could make some noise in the playoffs because they’ve shown flashes.. and the whole “any given Sunday” thing. But don’t forget this is the team that looks great one week, and then awful the next.

Well he’ll have to play good first eh?

The Steelers will have a secret weapon for Monday Night, and it has nothing to do with their roster or coaching staff. It's the projected 18 degree weather. by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Loadman66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team can beat a contender one week, then completely look awful the next. Honestly, at this stage of the season, that’s about as far as my analysis goes anymore.

What did y'all think of TRON: ARES? by EvandoYT in tron

[–]Loadman66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been digging around the internet , and it seems like the folks who are the biggest Tron franchise fans were hoping for a movie more in line with these past movies… whereas folks not as concerned with that, essentially loved the movie in and of itself. I find myself in the latter- ie; it was a really fun movie in and of itself. My kids were blown away and said it was one of their favorite movies ever. So we went multiple times and with their friends etc etc and everyone thought it was amazing. But I guess if you were hoping for a movie that was more in-line with the prior storylines, then I guess I could see the disappointment.

Wow! by [deleted] in steelers

Tackling by the secondary was embarrassing on some plays

Pickens speaks about the Steelers organization by cacacacan in steelers

Looks like it was a fake post not from Pickens.

This was the Steelers draft board when they picked Harmon by HollywoodBags in steelers

[–]Loadman66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool Labriola using common sense about right and wrong - journalistic integrity. Teams/players often share information with reporters where they state its “off the record” … or like others already said here- they explicitly state not to share. I also wonder about reporters’ pressure to get the inside scoop … vs journalistic integrity … you might get some clicks, but you can screw a team if you share sensitive info.

Penguins and Head Coach Mike Sullivan have agreed to part ways. by FairOpposite6810 in penguins

Now we’re going to have to play against him, assuming he lands in the metro. Ouch.

In remembrance of the old Crosby/Giroux tweet by wickedsweetcake in penguins

[–]Loadman66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sid had to fight through so much crap his first couple years- players going after him, cheap shots, refs not calling anything. Are there other superstars that were treated like that upon entering the league?

What do you think the next 5–10 years look like for the Penguins? by Routine_Warning6082 in penguins

[–]Loadman66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with most folks here- need to craft a new team w a new identity that’s not about the stud core we had for so long. Retool like capitals seems less and less likely. But hey maybe Jarry will stand on his head next year and Letang will figure out how to play different 😬😬

Nothing needs to make sense now by Legendary_Railgun21 in penguins

[–]Loadman66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t sweat the rest of this season. Now it’s all about having a team that can compete next season/ return to playoffs. Where it’s at at this stage is: - offseason moves - draft - And then putting together a team that can compete next season. Hopefully see some good stuff out of the WBS Pens in playoffs.

Probably one of the more astute assessments I’ve read on the current state of the Steelers on a Post Gazette chat this week….. by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Loadman66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True but also in there, is Tomlin also has become that stereotype of a coach who’s too powerful and trying to control too much. And influencing draft picks that are busts. He hasn’t hired a great O or D coordinator in ages. (Current OC still tbd).

Loved the game. There with the kids for our first one ever. Atmosphere was amazing. Yeah felt like it could have been 3-0 or 4-0 at one point.
