You cannot convince me that EK didn't do that on purpose.
That pass probably made sense in a structured offense.

Dubas said this long road trip would help KD decide which way to go with regards to player moves. We all know he is going to sell but doesn’t want to put that message out there.

I think he has seen enough.

I can't believe, that once again, I'm going to have to rely on the Buccos to at least hover around.500 until June as these guys will be golfing in mid-April.
Next month starts Spring Training.

At this point you might as well bring Jarry back and go for the bottom.

Man, I know you know already but as a peer I feel like it’s my obligation to remind you … the pirates are going to suck this season the same way they always suck. There will be glimmers of hope, maybe even early in the season like last year, but the ownership will do. Nothing to support or encourage the growth and we will be drafting early again. Do not fool yourself. It’s better that way, as I am sure you know.

Yep. And can the ‘fire the coach’ chants too. No point in making changes that spur wins.

In better news, WBS Penguins won 2-1. McGroarty with a goal, and Murashov stopped 29 of 30 shots. Once again, the Puljujarvi-Koppanen-Puustinen line was out there for the only goal against.

McGroarty has 11 points in his last 14 games, including 4 goals. He now has 6 goals, 19 points in 33 games

Yeah I think that line is... Finnished..


Nice to see RMG turn up the heat and Murashov doing well. Did he remember to let in the first shot? We expect our NHL goalies to do that.

I was only half-joking when I said this team would go 1-5 on this road trip beating the only good team and losing to 5 garbage teams. So far, I don’t know why we would be expected to beat SJ, Utah or Nashville right now.

This is a 7 game road trip and they are 2-3 so far.

Yeah, the human body is not suited to moving sideways. That's Geno out for a month, I reckon.

This is a 7 game road trip and they are 2-3 so far.
Let me revise, I meant the swing outside the Eastern conference so out of 5 games, they will beat the only team they shouldn’t. I wasn’t intending to count the Sabres and Caps games and I forgot Nashville was home.
