what we will be talking about..

Shorthouse was right to say it could go either way but it was a goal. Even though Chapoo was heading towards the crease he was still guided by Hainsey and Hainsey having 'pushed' or guided Chapoo resulted in Chapoos leg hitting the goalie 'but'…had no impeding impact on the goal. If Chapoo does it on his own sure…no goal, but in this case the goal should have stood. Whether he arrives before the puck in this instance makes no difference because Hainsey has guided Chapoo to that point. But it was no shock to see it go against the Nucks. Carol mentioned it should have counted and she was correct.

Right up there with Talbot moving his glove forward and hitting sutters shoulder after the puck was already by him.

We should all be afraid.

what we will be talking about..
- Nuck4U

ah.
Tangent understood.

yes, hockey.
We will be talking about hockey. Followed by the weather, wine, beer, food, politics, cars, sometimes keeper pools and occasionally current events.
It's just like spending time with people you don't really know or like...wait a minute...

Pens playing without 7 regulars Who was undermanned? Canucks stink

If that Chapoo goal counts as it should have completely different dynamic to the outcome. Even with injuries the Pens only managed 2 regulation goals (empty net don't count) vs a 2/3rds AHL squad…

Sweet.

Happy to take on another reclamation project at this point.
Give him some games and see if he can play.
Decide later if he deserves a contract next year, like Boucher.
- dbot

Yeah they will just not sure if with Canucks or Comets? He's 6'3" 205 lbs. Don't have details of contract but sounds like a PTO. It's just for the rest of this season the reporting states.

What's up with Drew Shore?

via sportsnet:

Shore has 24 points, including nine goals, and 24 penalty minutes in 80 career games.

to compare,
Megna: 103GP 10 9 19pts and 28 pims.
Chaput 112GP 6 9 15pts and 53 pims.

C'mon guys, better than Megna and Chaput!
- dbot

Chapu has worked out okay for the role he is in. Megna I am not sold on to many little mistakes and that is a no go for me.

No it wasn't. Not the same play at all. You're grasping at straws.

Exactly. See how she goes. Make a decision later. I welcome contracts like these along with NCAA signings

But seriously.
JB sucks.
What an idiot.

You know what I mean, they look for ways not to count goals against the canucks, The decisions are made in Toronto that explains everything.

What was up with the music last night... it was good for like the first time in 5 years... whatever they did keep it up. As usual, kill it on the music, you get a good environment.

Thats just par for the course dude. It won't change. We will always be stuck with that stigma. Own it.

this is a link to top free agent NCAA free agents

Number one they have is Zach Reese. It's been reported and Carol mentioned in blog JB is trying to sign him. He's a teammate of draft pick Gaudette. No report yet if he's leaving college at 19.

School should be the number one priority(proper grammar for Lefty). Finish school.

You know our team is bad when you are comparing these names

Well, we'll just agree to disagree on that one.

I think JB had his eye on the top 4 forwards (Mathews, Laine, PLD and Pujlivarji) and OJ as the best Dman of the bunch and he took BPA.

I recall pundits agreeing that he was the best dman available, although of course others disagreed, because, you know, it's always a bit of a roll of the dice.

Fair enough

that's why this league is bush league and we will never win the cup.

Undermanned isn't a poor excuse. It means lacking the requisite workers or players, which we have been for a number of years now. I don't blame injuries, we just don't have the talent to begin with.

- thundachunk

Zach is a senior so he's finishing. So are you saying Guadette should stay playing college hockey?

Either way all these guys finish school by taking summer classes and credits with long distance classes.

Wonder what rules they change in the playoffs? if its flames vrs oilers who do they favour I bet the oilers because of mcdavid, there will be a set of rules for each team.

Do people still buy into these Crosby conspiracies? Seriously?

Those of you who claim this garbage clearly don't watch the Pens on a regular basis and see how much murder other team's get away with in how they go after Sid.
