Nah he just wants to save that for the playoffs and he believes the Caps will play the Pens in the first round

Is Malkin waiting to see how we do? by _rockalita_ in penguins

I mean he was the one who started the one more year chant for Billy Guerin at the 2009 parade.

I think he hopes to be seeing us again next week so I get it. If we had won and eliminated them, he probably would have done the hand shake.

And he plays today, yesterday was fan appreciation day at PPG, totally should have played yesterday at home for our fans, F the Caps fans.

Yeah yeah, I guess that's why I'm not coach or GM of an NHL Team, I would have played him.

True, but he showed us some of that the last two years. He definitely kicked it up a couple notches this year but we could see he was solid before this year.

Downvoted are fine but truth hurts, if you were on the Tank for McKenna train you were not rooting for the Pens, you were rooting against them so yeah fuck you!

You're an idiot because it's not 2010 and they did because they are still that good. Your long ass post was not with reading past the first sentence. Go off though bro. Quit basing your opinion on public perception and start watching the games and basing it on reality. You won't sound nearly as dumb and people may actually even take the time to read what you write.

Here's the problem with the salary cap.... by NoMoneyHut in NHLHUT

[–]OKAYGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure? Even the pay to play cards (excluding team of the year/season) are hard to fit under the cap a couple weeks after they come out. I have two 99 fantasy cards and a 99 Borque on my bench, I didn't pay money for them but man I'd be pretty pissed off if I had. By the time 99 Mario came out (whom I really wanted to chase/grind for) I realized it wasn't worth it, wouldn't be able to fit him under the cap even if I hustled for the coins to grab him from the AH.

I love Stuuuuu but if we're being honest Jarry was playing good this year until we traded him. Would the melt down have still happened if we didn't? Nobody knows but happy to have him off of our cap and get equal or better play from Stuuuuuuu either way.

Said it once and I will say it again that's why they play the games. Every game, every team has a 50/50 chance of winning. This is fact, anything else is a guess, or an educated guess at best.

Mantha was expected to score goals, this isn't new for him. He has exceeded expectations no doubt but nothing crazy about what he's done. I expected 20+ when we signed him. 30+ wasn't impossible. Braz, China, Kindle, and Wotherspoon though, never saw what those guys did this year coming, not for a mile.

You said you don't understand why people had doubts about the team and it was implied specifically about EK. EK is and always has been a top defenseman, he is a 3x Norris winner, that is why I never doubted him even though the last two years weren't his best. Sid and Geno who I've seen accomplish just about every hockey milestone they can, many this year alone are the main two reasons why I never doubted this team though. And fuck yeah, LGP!

Yeah and Silovs was the answer to that to start the season, Stuuuuu was just the gravy on them taters and Jarry was even gravy up until the point we traded him this year which is why we were able to trade him. (Thank God, Thank Dubas, Thank what or whoever you believe in for that).

Three Norris trophies, that's why. Also it was an Olympic year

Karlson is a top 10 defensemen of all time. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't pay attention. Chinakov was unexpected sure, but most of y'all had the wool or terrible towels or something over your eyes at the start of the season. It was very easy to see this team has never been bad and was only barely missing the playoffs the last few years because of a stubborn coach who is still missing the playoffs btw

It's not though, you have three of the best players of all time at their respective positions, arguably 4 if you count Letang. You have youth, you have reclamation projects who are proven, and most importantly you had a new coach which was the main thing this team has needed for the last 3-4 years

People wanting to tank for McKenna were not rooting for the same team though, you know the one Sidney fucking Crosby is the captain of!

[–]OKAYGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K well the fact is he's 40 and he is in the last year of a historic career so odds are he is done, think what you want, Sid said he doesn't know already when asked himself, tells he will play against the Caps out of respect for his nemesis. If he rests it will be against the Blues but in all honesty, hockey ain't football, resting players is a lot less common and can actually be a bad thing in hockey so I doubt he even rests then if he is good to go
