Well...those sour grapes are turning into whining. Never said the ovie hit on gonchar wasn't dirty, he's had his fair share. But the Cooke hit on Ovie and then a game later on Tyutin were both dirty. You're obviously just sore that there wasn't any front office action taken on the crosby hits. During the broadcast the announcers even said the hit from steckle was incidental (that's valid since you like to use announcers as a source).

Also, if Cooke is the guy that caused rule 48, all the more reason for him to get suspended for repeat offenses. Even if he wasn't a repeat offender, it was a blind side hit (cause he hit him in the back, last i checked our eyes are in the front) and he left his feet...both are illegal, both led to his suspension on top of him being a filthy player.

Also, you're the definition of fail garbage with what you bring to the table.

You guys can slice it up any way you want but Tyutin is a pussy, he CLEARLY saw Cooke coming and he CLEARLY turned his back.

I think 4 games is a bit harsh, but a repeat offender so I'm not surprised.

That hurts...need him in the playoffs if they wanna hoist Lord Stanley's CUp

rock_knutne;672178 wrote:Yep, they just mentioned that on the radio, Ray Shero made it official. I'm not sure but putting Malkin on IR would release his salary money from the cap and they may be able to go out and get someone. Shero has worked magic in the past although the Ponikarovsky deal blew up on him last year, I still think he can get a deal done with someone productive.

Also, they were talking on the radio and which isn't a bad idea IMO, about the Pens calling up their best line from Wilkes Barre and playing them together until they get things sorted out with the injuries.

Was it last season, or two years ago, a couple of guys got called up from Wilkes and played pretty darned good...who were they? Not a bad idea bring up the whole line.....why not try it!

Raw Dawgin' it;672859 wrote:so his cap hit is $8.7mil and that gets freed up with him on long term IR.

Raw Dawgin' it;673208 wrote:I'm not sure there is a player like hossa out there this year. The bruins are in the same boat, they said they want a top D and F and they have draft picks and savards money to play with but i don't think there is that big name out there this year like when hossa was picked up by the pens. Brad Richards and Zach Parise's name have been tossed around but those are just rumors and I doubt they move. I know the bruins are trying to get Tomas Kaberle, but brian burke might not deal with the bruins again, we'll see though, the trade deadline is coming up soon. Also, Jerome Iginla's name has been tossed around, but with their recent success i doubt their interim GM will make any moves since they're on a playoff push.

rock_knutne;673336 wrote:So would I but I'm pretty sure he comes with two years on his contract, unless the Pens cut even more money loose (because they won't trade Malkin) they just don't have the cap space to keep him. Who knows, maybe Ray Shero can figure something out.
