I don't find fake fights entertaining. I find them abrasive and insulting. I'm not a mindless gorilla. I know when somethings not real. The fact that plugs think he average audience is dumb enough to think that when a fight breaks out before the race off is a real, legit, I want to kill you fight is insulting to our intelligence

well most of america does find fights entertaining. Its in our nature. last time i checked the biggest sporting event of last week was some Irishmen getting in a fight. I don't think those two guys "hated" each other. It was just a way to make millions. It doesn't make you a gorilla - it makes you human. Fighting is more human than farming.

I'd much rather have Porter in the lineup thankyou but I think Sestito for a little bit is good for the team. Like it or not the other guys on the team like having that around. Crosby, Malkin those guys love fighting. I hope they go one like a 10 game winning streak and the broadcast announcers keep laying it on how having Sestito in the lineup made a big difference. Boy would your kind be pissed.

Sesito is useless and there is no way you know if the rest of the roster likes him in the lineup or not. "My kind," fully evolved homo sapiens, would be able to differentiate team success from Sesito/other plug being in the lineup.

All the talk about Sestito and fighting is kind of funny to me.

The game still allows it.

Crosby has been pounded on in the past...by Dubinsky and Staal in the playoffs...and nobody did a damn thing about it.

I like the idea that it has been said that it won't be tolerated again.

Sully seems to like him in the lineup. I agree that he's basically useless, but he's also barely going to play, and against the Devils that resulted in some extra shifts for Sid and Geno with the bottom six wingers, which is fine and can help avoid certain matchups.

Dubinsky would probably prefer to play Friday night without Sestito instead of with him, which is all that matters.

I still can't believe Pens have zatkoff up. I am wondering if they are afraid of putting him on waivers.... He is blocking a slot for a guy to be recalled...





And that guy is DJ!!

Death in the family... and near 100 pages of paperwork for this job... because both the company and the recruiting agency needed their own forms that are near (frank)ing identical. I am a programmer, I hate writing poop out over and over. -_-

But pretty sure there is no more writing after this morning

Bingo. Sestito will be gone after that game. When you have repeated examples of one particular player trying to hurt your star player while the NHL watches (encourages) it, you have to do everything in your power to stop it. It shouldn't be necessary but as we all know the NHL refuses to get out of the garage.

1 game suspension for what Dubinsky did to Sid earlier in the year is ENCOURAGEMENT.
