I agree mdw. I do not get this trade at all and why rush making a deal now?

Not in our division but I hate that because I hate Toronto maybe even more then the Pens.

I get it from Torontos side, the Pens, I have no idea. There is a good chance you could get a better player than Kapenen at 15 in this draft

Yep! Totally get it from the Leafs side.

I always liked Wendell Clark. Even when the Isles had nothing he was good.

I mean I agree with what chiefs is saying about the Pens going for it, but Kapanen??? He is a mid 40's pt player.... its so strange

He is not the last piece to the puzzle type player. Pens will need more than Kapanen.

They don't have anything left to give.

Two early exits in the playoffs in back to back years and this years wasn't really a playoff series

i guess getting knocked out by mont was the final nail.

Their time came and it’s past. Time for them to start rebuilding. Completely shocked they traded the #15 pick but hey love watching them make the wrong moves. By all means I hope they keep on doing that one less team to worry about in the division.

looks like the caps/pens era is over. hopefully the isles era begins this year.

I keep thinking that and the Pens keep finding things to trade. They may pull a Ditka and trade the entire draft.

Huh. That’s decent considering the depth of this years draft.

Hate Meter: Toronto < Rangers < Pens < Bruins < Garth/Cappy < Brussel Sprouts

i think so. did you see eberle get leveled by a late CC after the whistle? he wasnt anywhere near the crease. i thought that wud get it going.

is that bet euro 4.975?

No. Didnt see the Eberle hit. I am thinking the flyers will instigate early in Game 2. Try and get Isles off their game. Not happy with Barzal’s lack of awareness (the tomahawk high-stick) and chippy play. Takes too many dumb penalties. He’s gotta understand that he’s got a target on his jersey. Other teams are going to go after him. He needs to either stop the dumb retaliations, stand up and fight(not preferably) or wait for MM or Ross to settle the score on another shift. He also embellishes often and nobody likes a Cindy.

These stats are pretty insane

barzal seemed a bit calmer this game than in some of the caps games, and wasn't holding the puck so much. hes learning.
