Do the Pens blow it up?

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahah. It's really hard to see what he's gonna do....

I think I'm actually pretty predictable.

but for a guy that spent his entire career in one town, I have trouble seeing him bouncing around.

That's not fair, I did live in Cleveland for awhile, but yeah, I'm probably sticking in DC. If I were to move anywhere, it would probably be Portland or Denver.

James Neal is still relatively young and has shown his top end to be WELL beyond Dupuis. After 12 seasons, Dupuis has 374 points. In only 5 seasons, Neal has 254 points. Neil has already scored 40 goals in a season. Dupuis topped out at 25.

That help? To me, they aren't even close.

Not really. His potential is nice, sure. But right now, Dupuis out plays Neal. 18 of Neals 40 goals came on the PP... he's a PP specialist... Dupuis is an all around better hockey player.. last year and this year... potential has nothing to do it.

And you are right, they aren't even close. Neal's all around game may one day be what Dupuis is.

IMO, Dupper is one of the more underrated players in the league and Neal one of the more overrated players.

EDIT: Overrated does not mean not talented or not good... but he's a PP specialist. He has zero play making ability... he shoots the puck.

Keep it simple... in general.

What is a top 6 forward?

A guy who is not a bottom 6 forward or a power forward. So in short, a guy that is not a power bottom. Oh snap!

In my mind, Crosby is really a top , but Dupuis is much more of a power bottom. But we're gettting off track now, weren't we talking more about the Pens blowing something?

If eloco can somehow find a suitable reference for "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" by Split Enz, he wins the internets.

This is just my opinion, but if the Flyers are going to use a compliance buyout on Bryzgalov, don't you think the smart move from that point would be to, you know, find another goalie?

Well I agree with you there. Apparently at the deadline Read for Bernier was discussed and obviously we have Mason too. I don't think Mason is the answer, but a cheap, young, former Calder winning goalie can't be a bigger risk than Bryzgalov at this point.

You want him to go to Winnipeg?!?

Winnipeg would fit the description except in every way.

Anyone see the commercial for Flex Seal? It's like the Hoover dam in a can.

Sounds like every Caps' season ever to me!

We need to get this thread to a hospital.
A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

/Airplane, but close enough.

Reports are saying Bylsma is safe...honestly they're saying this because nothing has leaked to say otherwise. I just...I just can't see him making the changes necessary. He's going to go back with the same "get to our game" BS that hasn't worked in the postseason ever.

 

[pixburgher66]

NOT only extensions with Bylsma, but extensions with both assistants. Yep...status quo. Meloche is gone though.

 

[JustAsking]

for those who don't check pens page... byslma got a 2 yr extension
