3 more points and 2 more W's in 2 less games.

And they also had their stars injured

Weren't you posting a bunch of advanced stats articles around the time we signed Okposo? Making the case he only didn't just score with Tavares?
- sbroads24

I'm not doing this.

And no, I posted simple stats that he scored almost equally with and w/o Tavares.

Love that guy!

He's a rochester guy. Works the RedWings and Amerks games.

"You get a warm Genesee,
the next one's on me!"

All on price. Apparently he can do more than just block. If he's going to be used in the actual offense, have fun. If he's Jerome Felton 3 years ago, (frank) off Whaley. But it sounds like he's much more useful.

they need a lot: safety, db, o-line, wr...

imo, continue building there

Gionta is not leading this team at all. Not sure if anybody else caught it, but when D-Lo was fighting, right in front of #12, he wasn't even watching. He was looking around, at the ice, at the score board. How can you not watch a fight? And dude hardly ever talks post game. Where is the accountability and the bleed blue and gold attitude? If they resign him, put his ass on the fourth line and rip the C- give it directly to Jack. get a coach in here who isn't afraid of youth. the pens won last year BECAUSE of youth, not despite of it. Toronto is going to be light years ahead of us next year because they are putting their young guys out there. It's a young man's game. we have pieces, we have talent. our leadership is suspect and has to change. Fire the coach, hand the bus keys to Jack, get some D that can at least not be embarrassing, and let's go!

My gif represents the "his analytics say he's amazing so why isn't he here even though he didn't produce who cares his analytics are amazing"

You know who had amazing analytics? Carlo Colaiacovo. I'm disappointed I had to post this statement.

I keep waiting every game for this and it never happens. We never get any good in-zone setups 5v5 and never got a threatening shot from the point either.

I see the same thing. Though every team we face you see it a few times a game .

He hustles man. Some people do that Delaware north beer stuff part time a few games here and there and then drop off. He's made a living out of it. He's everywhere.

Joe and Sal seem to be defending the notion, claiming he's a great player (he is) and he'd be a welcome addition, as well as "just because he signs here doesn't mean we can't get other players."

That was after "this would be the mid to big FA addition". No (frank)ing wonder fans are poopting bricks. Are you kidding?

The only guy that can get a breakaway is Foligno, because nobody cares if he gets the puck and 3/5 guys on the ice are within arms length of Jack, with or without the puck (and dude is still a point per game player).

You kidding? Our own players don't know how his system works. Rex (frank)ing Ryan Part (frank)ing 2.

Turns out he is NOT the one with the rabbit.

That's Zenon Konopka. I was confused.

is this really a reason why a guy can't be a captain?
