If we were doing a candy draft, Swedish fish would be my consensus number 1 pick.

I realize you did not request this information.

So what's the mood like over there in Pens Town today?

I take it from your earlier comment in this thread that you're a bit befuddled?

- Tomahawk


it would be hard not to be. im just kind of confused as to what their agenda is. i hope they at least have one.

im not ready to get the pitchfork out that shero left. he was more good than bad. but im not opposed to trying something new.

he will be employed quickly no doubt. but i just dont understand this limbo process.

requested or not, it was a fine contribution.

It's tough. Everyone knows how tough it is to win the Cup, but there's certainly validity in saying that the Pens should have more than 1 Cup in the Crosby era. When you see that the bottom 6 forwards aren't getting the job done, you either turnover the entire team or fire the guy who constructed it. Like you said, he will land on his feet very quickly.

oh yeah. the cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports. you cant legitimately expect to win it any given season.

it seems kind of obvious, but to me. its not losing. its HOW the losing occurs.

you play boston and they beat you in 7 hard fought games. no shame in that. you tip your cap and call it a season. you hold a 3 to 1 series lead and only manage to score 3 goals the rest of the way in an epic choke job, thats entirely different.

Hopefully he lands back here as Asst. GM while he's waiting for his next dream job to open up.

Cherry only is my first choice, but the assorted flavors is not a bad alternative.

And now, my 8 YO son likes them too. I can't ever keep them in the house anymore. I have to hide them at work.

Let's be honest. We can pretty much all agree that's Gus ceiling right? This really makes no difference. There's 5 -10 Gus's out there in UFA who will all sign for about 1 mil
- Just5


i don't think anyone's upset. personally, i would have like to see him have a real opportunity here. he didn't get it for whatever reason. there are thousands that can take his place.

If Kimmo comes back I still hope they find a younger guy to play top minutes with B Coburn.

Kimmo can play with Luke Schenn against favorable matchups next year for 14-15 minutes a night at even strength, and play a few minutes on the PP too. He should sign for dollars appropriate to that role or they should just say thank you, offer him an assistant coaching spot or a scout position for future Finnish warriors.

If he signed a multi-year deal w/ Omsk, there would almost be no point in doing that, since he goes UFA at 27 no matter what.
