Iggy to the Penguins - Ray Shero is GOD (GOD just got fired) Upd: Now rehired

[pixburgher66]

The Pens have THREE NHL captains on their team right now.

I'm mostly excited because now that vision of Sid/Iggy having a Ray Bourque moment could possibly happen. It's no longer a mere pipe dream. AND I WANT IT SO BAD.

STOP. YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY FROM SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN.

 

[pixburgher66]

I HAVE TO GO TO CLASS. WHY.

 

[evolver115]

All three acquisitions Shero has made (so far) will be hungry for the Cup. I still can't believe Ray pulled this off!?! I'm stunned

First off PenVo good to see you online again.

Second I went to bed last night thinking Ignila was a Bruin and woke up today seeing the headline Iginla is a Penguin. I thought it was April Fools or something that there is no way that could ever happen after the other deals.

God if they don't win the east now that will be a huge disappointment!

So, it was Iggy who told Jacobs to take a hike?

 

[PenVolution]

Thanks! I've been busy.. and I forgot the link to the website until just recently. o_O

The ironic part in all this for me is I have a contact that has seats a few rows behind the Pens bench. He offered me them for March the 30th against the Islanders (my last two Pens games have been against them). I said, "Yeah, no thanks". I coughed up some good cash for the Rangers game on the 16th instead. Awesome game but... yeah.. in hindsight:

"No, I don't want to go to the debut of Jarome Iginla in a Penguins' jersey."

Also, this is one of the greatest nights in HFBoards history, for anyone who posts there. Legendary troll job by Aaron Ward.

I really wish I could be there to see the look on some Boston fans faces when they wake up and check their twitter feed...

I am very surprised though. I was kinda jacked up that Iggy was coming to Boston. Thought it would give us that last piece. In any case life goes on.

Can I cheer for the Penguins?

No, you may not.

Craig Button is still bitter from being canned by the Flames, he wouldn't say that any trade that Calgary made would be good enough for Iggy. What a putz.

But in this case, he is correct. Blind Squirrel... nut... etc.

Damn, I though Howson got fleeced in the Nash deal.

Kunitz - Crosby - Iginla
Neal - Malkin - Dupuis
Morrow - Sutter - Bennett
Cooke - Kennedy - Adams

Holy crap, Pens are loaded.

Anything that keeps Cooke on the bench is good.

Apparently, the Penguins still have $13 million in cap space this season.

Is another move possible? We now have spare parts at every position except in the net, does Shero deal for another defenseman? Perhaps a real shutdown guy?

Duh. They still have Jack Johnson to acquire.

Anyone else wanting one last post from Jeff Sly right now?

Why? He's a Rangers fan.

this is whats gonna make it hilarious when they shit the bed in the first round.

They still have MAF. And their backup is Vokoun.

The Pens have THREE NHL captains on their team right now.

Iginla, Morrow and who else?

So, it was Iggy who told Jacobs to take a hike?

And when Boston plays Pittsburgh in the playoffs... It will be EPIC. Two teams enter. One team leaves.




Two college players and draft pick that will be very late in the round for the heart and soul of a franchise and city. Firing is too good for Feaster.

Sorry, dash. I won't say "I know how you feel", but I did just watch the Jackets shit the bed just this past summer.

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Holy shit.... Damn Penguins

Breaking: Ray Shero's phone to be inducted to the HOF.

And hey, you two can wipe those smiles off your faces anytime now...

Also: D'Agostino has potential. I like him a lot. He's no slam dunk though. Hanowski I don't know as much about. Seems pretty obvious that Iggy had a word on this. I buy into the "Suck it Jacobs" idea too.


Okay, okay, one more. Pens fans this morning:

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Have a couple of Flames fans at work here. They are furious understandably...There is a theory going around here that Feaster was pressured by the league to hand Iginla over to Mario's team. personally I think Jay is just a giant moron.

Someone just told Rask that Iginla chose Pitt:

NHL insider: Unlike Guerin in 2009, Iginla does not fit with Pens | TribLIVE

Rossi doesn't like the trade, that confirms Shero made a great swap.

Rossi will be vindicated when Jack Johnson comes to Pitt and wins the Vezina.
