Official Gameday Thread Pens v Habs 17/04/13

[mariojr]

I think Brendan Morrow is now my favorite Pen. Just echoing what others have said, I know, but I loved him challenging Subban to go again. PK may have been laughing, but he knew he got his a^& kicked.

[NeddieVedder]

Happy about the win, but if we're going to get into god damn shootouts again, we'll be out of the playoffs quick.

WAY too many dzone breakdowns and chances given up. We better figure it out before we play Boston.

I've never seen someone go from one extreme to another so quickly.

He's always teaching us.

[Shakes]

Aww, the 2-9er hates all things Subban, but he doesn't want to go there tonight. I turned on the hotline just for that.

He did say: "Well, Subban got himself off the ice as if he won the fight, hands down. I'll leave it at that."

B Morrow schooling PK on how to remove a helmet.

I love Brendan Morrow.

I've wanted him on this team for so long... In some ways, I hope Sid picks up some things from him.

Some guys just have it, and Morrow has it. Even as a rookie, he did this kind of stuff for the Stars.

Shero knows. The perfect guy for this team, and the offense is a bonus.

Subhuman needs to have his face reconstructed

fu

He does how can you defend him?
he's the biggest gutless puke in the league!
Intentionally injures people. Refuses to be accountable for being a ******.
He wouldn't have lasted 10 games in this league 20 years ago.

He isn't defending Subban as a hockey player... how is this not obvious? Gaucho is angry you used "Subhuman" without even thinking about the possible racist context of such an insult/nickname....

Gaucho needs to relax though because clearly this was within the context of being a hockey player.

Was merely poking fun at his last name

yeah I saw what you first wrote that garnered the fu before you ninja edited. you deserved it.

I wouldn't even feel bad if I was you. Its pretty clear to anyone who isn't extremely pretentious that you didn't even think of race.

[skullman80]

So how do you justify sitting Bennett come playoff time with how he is playing?

you can't, but DB will find a way

Um... My brother in law is black

[Spum]

Insert racial slur here

[marek]

And no way BB should sit... But I agree he will be

Lol just saying... It wasn't racial in any way...lets get back to the game... Sorry if anyone was offended

[FreeCandy44]

I wonder how many tears were shed when Engelland was scratched.

Seriously....why do we employ this man?

Who Rocco? I don't know that anyone employs him? Wouldn't he have to be paid?

I'm sure as hell not paying Rocco

[Shakes]

you can't, but DB will find a way

I don't know. DB used some different PKers and really talked up BB's ease in filling in on the 4th line. Maybe, just maybe BB is finally winning a spot. Now he just has to play perfectly the rest of the way.

I can understand being wary of playing a rookie in the playoffs, but Bennett just doesn't play like a rookie. The kid has earned a spot.

Also, I'm in the minority who think Glass is not useless, but I do think his role has been diminished because now the entire team has a mean streak again, thanks to Morrow, Murray, and...Shero. Guys like Kunitz, Dupuis, and Cooke are all doing it again.

I really like the fact that Cooke is getting back to being Matt Cooke, agitating the other team. Just not doing the over the line stuff.

It's your loss. But then it would be bad to have an employee who shows you up, so I understand why not.

[Mr. Colby]

Fairly certain that anyone that's taking the term "Subhuman" and saying it's racist are the real racist ones.

It was brutally obvious that it was a jeer at his last name. Unbelievable

Again, it was edited before someone posted after him.

[Mr. Colby]

Now the real reason I came here - was Jokinen injured? Only played 7:05. Or was he the one they referred to as being sick.

"Asked about the "fight," Morrow said: "Well, that's just not how you see a fight going, I guess. I wanted to stand up and throw some punches. I was just upset with how it went."

It looked like Subban tried to sneak a punch in almost before the gloves were completely off, yes?

"A little bit," Morrow said. "Usually, when you have a visor, you're respectful and you both take your helmets off. That's kind of the unwritten rule or code. I was expecting that and I'm kind of upset by it."

Question: It looked like you wanted to go again.

Morrow: "I didn't have the opportunity."

A reporter than wondered what happened in the penalty boxes and whether "I want to do it again in five" was a fairly accurate quote on what Morrow yelled to Subban:

"That's probably the PG-13 version of it, yeah.""
