@SNPittsburgh Can we stop acting like Letang is Bobby Orr? Jesus Christ! It’s a big 2! And a pretty good defenseman(!) who has found a way to stay here for a billion years, can we finally move on and act like a real franchise who wants to win?
@BombulieTrib One might surmise, that the last 10 years is why teams don’t generally cater to legacy players, and move on from one or 2 of them as they grow old.
@Cory_Tucek@Fansville412 And to be clear. I don’t think he sucks. I think he’s sucked for about 5 years. He’s a really above average player. The type that usually does t get this kinda red carpet. It’s weird.
@Cory_Tucek@Fansville412 I sure wish they would! And they could! But they won’t. Up to them to make me believe they’ll do what’s best. He is the most overrated player in nhl history, and it’s because he’s played in the same team his whole career. Lol
@CornerGordo@Bob902661@BombulieTrib He’s a big game player…….. if his dogshit goaltending can keep him around enough to play in the big games. I concede he has a knack for the big spots. But a sub 900 sv% should earn you a spot in the AHL. That said, I’d now take him over skinner as 1A/backup
@Fansville412@Cory_Tucek lol we’re stuck with him for 2 more years! What are we even taking about here? He says yeah ok I dont want 10 million more dollars? Come on now.
@DanHoppOPS@somebeersilike I wanted skinner for a year or 2 as the vet. I think Silovs is awful. But he has a nose for the big games. Can’t teach that. Silovs/murashov for the next year or 2. I’m on board now.
@asdfjkmark@Michaeladen7@penguins He protects the puck well and does a great job of driving the net wide. Strong on the boards. But sometimes looks like a boy amongst men lol
@asdfjkmark@Michaeladen7@penguins I don’t either. But despite the shortcoming I can see a niche role for him if they use him right. He doesn’t play like he’s small. But he could do a lot more with his size and have a niche spot as a net front pp guy. But at this point he prolly is what he is.
