Forsberg is a big what if. Think he had foot issues he struggled with. Dude was a beast.

(frank)ing Deslauriers? We're in danger of passing Detroit and Vancouver, this has to ben a Pens win. You gonna let that overpaid scrub score?

If there’s a guy in the league that deserves a goal it’s him.

Its too bad that Sabres and Panthers game is on the same time as Pens and Devs tonight. I think it has the potential to be a real doozy.

Didn't Burke and Hextall want to add "truculence?"

hahaha where are the other 14 teams?

Not that I disagree with this at all but how do they quantify passive? Obviously not with hit stats haha

EDIT: also, having watched the Canes a good few times this season I would say they are anything but passive...but perhaps whoever made this chart has different ideas on these such things as me.

Size is easily quantified...but passive?

Just the current playoff teams.

Aren't the Pens 2nd in hits or something? I really don't believe that stat but I've seen it televised before.

They're first in hits the last time I checked. I'm curious as to where all the other non-playoff teams fall on this.

*que Grinder saying its not real hits.


Also, there's 18 teams on that chart...16 make playoffs. I guess though the Panthers and Flames are really sniffing at them.

It's playoff teams only, and the passive/physical is something related to road hits due to consistency issues in arena's calculating hits.

Rumor on Twitter today is that Hextall nearly had a deal done for JT Miller at the deadline and it wouldve cost at least 2 first round picks and Zucker.

Holy frank, PPG Paints Arena would've burned down if that deal went through.

In a good way or a bad way? I feel like that’s not a good trade for us and I was a big advocate of getting Miller.

I believe it said we would give up multiple 1st picks and Zucker and Miller was involved as well as potential other players and picks. I would give up a 1st for Miller and Zucker. It would depend on who would have been coming back in that trade besides Miller.

As if it was a bad trade. Giving up 2 firsts for that contract would've been criminal... but on par for Ron Hextall.

I'd rather have JT Miller than Granlund, at least Miller could help this team for the next few years.

Is Ty Smith getting his face rebuilt? Really tired of the 52 and 2 pairing.

Well if no one fights after that this isn’t even a hockey team anymore. Just some entertainment commodity for fat baseball douchebags.

What a disaster he's become. I mean, he's almost as washed as Carter.
