notfondajane Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 After Florida Panthers backup defeated the Pens in a shootout on Monday. The Pens will try to WING it on Thursday! Let's hope for better results?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Crosby and Company got shut down by Montoya, no shame in that, he has developed into one of the finest backup goalies in the games and the Panthers have a stingy defense that prevents quality shots with the best of them, forcing you to take poor percentage shots. Florida is tough. My Wings however are missing their top defensive pairing in Kronwall and Ericsson and are playing two rookies from Grand Rapids in Oullet and Marchenko. Green and Quincey, not exactly Letang on their best days are both playing banged up. That said, the Wings forwards have caught fire since the reuniting of Datsyk and Zetterberg alongside Abdelkader on the top line. We are running three lines deep and the forwards are gaining confidence. Tatar and Nyquist team with Athanasiou for a super fast line and Dylan Larkin and Helm make for one heck of a third line. On your club, Hornquist has caught fire and Crosby has been insane lately. Mrazek was a shot as any goalie in the game until a week or so ago when he started letting in softies, if he does that to your boys it could get ugly real quick.

notfondajane Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Fleury played OK against the Panthers I'm getting tired Of calling the game winner long before the shot is taken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Go Penguins!! I need them to win so they make the play-offs. That way the Leafs get their first round pick in the 2016 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bright side if the Pens miss the playoffs this year, you'll get 2017 1st round pick! The Pens are trending backwards, next year's pick may be higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think it's actually worse than that. I believe the deal is that further, if the Pens miss the play-offs two years in a row, the Leafs only get a second rounder in 2017..... That could turn out to be a bad deal (for us).

notfondajane Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ouch! That would hurt both teams! I understand that most draft choice don't pan out! On the only some do and do well! I would hate to miss out on a decent prospect for a win now attitude that didn't work! And on the business side of things it would mean lost revenue from missing the playoffs! With Mario and Ron trying to sell the team, it just bode well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfondajane Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 6 goals against Detroit is a pleasant surprise! That was a nice 2 points, which was very much needed, especially not giving up the annoying loser point! Now to repeat this feat against the Tampa Bay Lightning!

Congrats to your boys, they took it to us, that kid Sheehy was your best player most of the night, Wilson looks like he needs to stay as a third liner. If your team gets bottom six play like this out of the kids the rest fo the year the Pens are gonna be hard to beat. We will get you next time!

Yave It sounded like a good game all over for the most part. I'm hoping for consistency throughout the line up! Hopefully the Pen's will take out the Wings again next time! Good luck to you and the Wings Have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yave Sheary has been playing like a little ball of energy since his callup. He may have to go back down soon when Malkin, Boninno, Fehr and Bennet get back. Which would be a shame as he plays for pure love of the game. The AHL'rs called up have been great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
