Game Thread: Penguins GDT/GNT's week 12 (Dec 22 - Dec 28)

[scoutyjones2]

Well, we never ever hear how Skid looks possessed during a game or actually takes one over...lets face it, he isn't that player. He's barely a very poor Adam Oates right now...and that could change by January! He freaking sucks as the once heralded "best player" in the game...he should be embarrassed by his play and lack of any points.

Agree to disagree, doobs.

Fair enough

Adam Oates? Right now I would settle for Craig Janney or Joe Juneau.

At least I could tear it up with Sid on NHL 15, at least I got that.

Proof that Sid was invisible last night…

Merry Christmas to all my fellow Penguin fans, hope Santa gets Sid his game back.

Merry Christmas to all my fine feathered friends! When I was young, I went to see Santa & sat on his knee. He said," Ho Ho Ho". I replied, "I'll take one!". Hmm, I'm still waiting...

Merry Christmas Ishall, congrats on the win last night

I noticed Sid was on the PK the other night. That says a lot. Don't know what's wrong, but something physically or mentally is off with the kid. He's had some pretty serious injuries in his young career, maybe the instinct for self preservation is kicking in and he can't play all out like he used to.

Anyway hope that yinz guys has a great Christmas, and maybe Santy we'll bring us a new Cup next year.

I think that had more to do with Johnston not trusting the young guys in that role, honestly.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

May very well be. Johnston should have trusted Zatkof in the net against Tampa. Fluery definitely didn't have it that night.

By the way for anyone from north of the boarder, Happy Boxing Day!

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Anyway back to the bad news looks like Greiss and Downie now have Mumps but the good news Sutter tested negative.

3 goals for Skid in the last 22 games...he has played in 31. He's piss poor...maybe Santa brought him some of his old skill back


I thought his pathetic 5.3 % shooting % was bad...he's 3.8 for December! Holy Schnikees!

Yeah, those things have a habit of evening out over time. He was 21.9% in October, and 14.5% for his career, no chance he continues has shooting %'s like that for much longer.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sid has decided that he's just a playmaker, I don't expect anything from Sid besides getting 2nd assists now. It's sad, but it is what it is. At least we got Geno.

Doob's take: Pens comeback from the Christmas break facing one of our most heated rivals. Hopefully the rivalry with Ovechkin will bring the best out of Sid who needs to get back on track. Doobster picks the Pens to win 3-2.

Pens get blown out 6-2

I could see the Caps making a statement tonight.
