It's a universal law of management that when you assume management of a new department, the first thing you do is make a bunch of random changes, so that if lucky things happen you can take credit for them. If nothing lucky happens, well, things were going badly enough to get your predecessor fired so no one will blame you if they continue to go badly in the short term. It's all upside.

He's rapidly going the way of Scuderi, I think. His legs are about gone and he can't adjust his game. I actually fear Kunitz will be much harder than Scuderi to dislodge from playing big minutes every night even when he's the worst forward in the league because he's Crosby's BFF. Imagine Craig Adams but playing 16 minutes instead of 9.

I wonder what the Penguins did to piss the refs off tonight? Or is this one of those veteran ref crews that have loathed the Pens for years?

Don't worry. The Bruins PP has stopped working.

No Doc, Pens do not have 6 attackers. They have 1 man in the box.

Not sure it would have mattered much, Penguins haven't had a zone entry in about 4 minutes.

regardless of the bruins powerplay not working, that should have put the bruins shorthanded if anything. I mean it's not likely that the pens would have scored on it since their pp is poo poo too, but it's at least a chance vs an absolute horseshit penalty.

Yeah, there's more to that story than meets the eye. It was so obviously a "gently caress you" phantom penalty that I'm genuinely curious what exactly provoked the refs to do it. SOMETHING did.

I need to look around and see if there's a way to bet on "the Bruins will shut the Penguins out again on Friday," because they will and it's free money.

Seeiously though hornqvist isnt that big even if he plays bigger than he is, how do you launch yourself at him on open ice and end up on your rear end

So at least the penguins looked better offensively tonight even if they didn't score.

Also we're so hosed if fluery is out long term unless Murrey adjusts to NHL speed games fast.

Would much rather just give up on the season and draft high next summer than trade more picks/prospects for a mediocre goalie, if MAF is out longer than 2 weeks. Even if MAF returns quickly and the team improves, its absolute best-case ceiling is a miracle run to the conference finals and they will likely struggle their way to a quick first round exit.

He looked decent in preseason. I'm just upset I won't see how he does again st the Marlies, the second best AHL team right now.
