it's remarkable. i can't recall a single successful poke check. every time he's attempted it, it's resulted in a goal. either 5-hole or going around him. they need to hire johnny bower on a special consulting gig for this. - hammarby31
When he's on his game, I've seen him poke check successfully but even then it's been rare. He needs to scrap that from his repertoire because it's not there.
yeah your right they dont, they just prefer not winning a Championship for the past 38 years. - nbartley9
Do the Penguins have more Stanley Cups or Bankruptcies? How about Stanley Cups vs number of times being the worst team in the NHL and getting the top overall pick?
You wanna talk history? Let's talk about how many times the Penguins held taxpayers hostage to get a new arena while threatening to move to Kansas City vs the number of times the Flyers built their own arena.

The sad thing is, I believe he's over thinking again and expecting the defensive mistake to result in a rebound goal or feeling he has to cheat to prevent a goal from blown coverage.
If you look at the second goal, even if he stones Callahan, the nearest player is Gaborik, with a point blank chance.

Yeah. At a minimum, you have to figure he'd be out an extended period just from the concussion. Add in potential eye and bone damage and he's probably done for the year. Hopefully he'll be able to resume his career in September.
So Sam just told me that Meszy did indeed suffer a shoulder dislocation... This whole time I was thinking just a deltoid tear and a AC separation - jak521
