He did catch the head, rules are rules. Doesnt matter anyway, Oshie got last laugh.

As stated, Pens suck without Shultz...clearly showing that now.

He caught the head but I don't believe it was intentional. I am not a Pens fan directly so I don't have a care either way other than to me it looked like the only reason he hit is head was cause Malkin is a tall big guy that was mostly upright and Oshie is shorter and was bearing down trying to cut across after the puck. In doing so it put his head directly at shoulder level. I think tossing a player when there is head contact the intent needs to be taken into consideration. I don't really feel like he showed intent and drove the contact towards the head.

Oshie literally skated straight into his shoulder and then dove like an olympic diver, he flopped earlier in the game trying to buy a penalty. Such a joke

Letang is injured too, right?



Yeah, without a good puck-mover to the forwards (cough, Edmonton), a team will struggle. In the new need-for-speed-NHL, it's all about that transition...

So...Pens won a cup in 16 with speed. Copy cat league...other now have it and the Pens are slow. Time to reinvent. We're older, need to play wiser.

And Letang missed 1. We just suck all around.

Well, FWIW, Hawks lost 6 now.

Maybe it's time for a new guard. The new way of the NHL is nothing lasts too long.

Pens are just playing uninspired hockey, it's November and they're bored. Sad as it is, they just assume they're going to make the playoffs so the effort isn't always there. They played lights out in Western Canadia, and played a great game against the Craps, minus giving up that late goal with a minute left. Changes most certainly are coming, but sucks to see them playing so haphazardly right now. Especially with what I pay for Season Tickets

They signed Seabrook to an insane contract and shut the door.

I would seriously consider moving Kane and starting over.

If he wants to move on to a contender that is, he has a full no movement clause.

Another new system under Colliton and it's now man-to-man...with players having a hard time getting it out of the zone. Recipe for disaster.

Things may have to get even worse before they can get better...I can't be too bitter as I've been treated to 3 Cups now but this is difficult to watch.

If the season is of any indication, the former powerhouses: Pens, Kings, and Hawks are all well, old and busted.



Did the Pens GM call out the team recently too? Yikes.

Both Hawks and Kings go and replace proven coaches but without really any true difference.

He didn't call them out per se, he said he didn't like the way they were playing and lamented that changes may need to be made. Honestly I think he was just trying to send a message

One of the winningest coaches who led the team to 3 Cups? Yeah, no.

Not a fan of the move at all esp. when it's the GM that made up this roster. Dunno. Whatever...it is what it is. Hawks are missing the playoffs again...but, they should just tank properly and hope for a shot at Hughes.

Yes...except, one thing: Hawks don't hand out 6M contracts to 1-goal scorers by the name of Loocheech.

I won't lie. I actually DRAFTED Loocheech with my last pick in my hockey pool because I thought he'd have some bounce-back...and him scoring in game 1 had me looking smart. Then, well, yeah. I had him around for hits and other goonery stats as our League counts for those but eventually, I just dropped him for Ryan Reeves. Yeah, Ryan farking Reeves who has FOUR goals and does just as much goonery stats.


Again, in a fantasy league, I dropped Loocheech...a $6M player for...Ryan Reeves. Someone should tell Sharelli.

Who's that number one draft pick? Hughes? I'll be keeping an eye out. I know Edmonton will be chomping at the bit to get another #1

2 goals in 63 games?! Crikes...that's $3M per goal.
