enjoy Rupp you sunsabeeches

[DeathByEmu]

The guy I'll miss the most this season as a Pens fan. Big guy, big heart, big fists.

Good luck, Rupper.

Here's his last Tweet to us before he went to the Rangers...

"3 things will stay true.... 1) I won't like the Miami Heat (LBJ) 2) grown men shouldn't ride scooters 3) I will hit the Mullet,for all fans!"


classic.

He's keeping the family here, he says. I expect him to have an office job in the organization in 5 or 6 years. Class act.

Later, Ragboys.

Good pick up. We need some more muscle on defense.

I actually like this move. Rupp is actually one enforcer who can play on a 4th line and score a few goals. He'll also allow McIlrath not to be rushed who will be the next enforcer as well as a shut down defenseman.

I seen "RUPP"and i thought you guys might be talking about RUPP ARENA!!! oops!

The whole team plays defense in their opponent's zone no?

He is a large forward who plays good defense. The Rangers have a pretty small lineup when it comes to forwards. Cally is great on defense but he and Debo can't take all the abuse.

Prust is a very defense-minded forward as well, no?

 

[Bone]

No doubt. Plays just about every game too. def not afraid to mix it up.

 

[SLY]

Prust and Cally, def my fav players on that team. 110% from start to finish.

and a goalie can get an assist, point being is I mistook your post that you thought he was a defenseman and not a forward.

neither here nor there...i think he was a good guy to get, has some offense to his game, especially if he sticks his big body in front of the crease during the PP, need dirty goals from someone

 

[SLY]

Dirty goals are the best goals. Fuck all that finesse. Love the grinders.

thinking Tim Kerr back in the day...unfortunately as a Flyer..not as a Ranger lol

 

[SLY]

lol, yea, I remember his brief stint in Hartford back in the early nineties. I saw him a couple times that year here in Hartford, I was a wee little lad then. He definitely was not the same player though. That style, while fun to play and to watch, is plagued with injuries unfortunately.

Rupp will have to step up even more now with Staal disey all the time.
