Description
PENGUINS FANS COMMENT ONLY

BUCKLE UP BABY!!!

I just watched the latest episode of "In The Room" S9 EP7 "A Star Crossed Season. After seeing this I was inspired to create this.

Many spectators think that the window has closed for the Pittsburgh Penguins and that it is time for a rebuild... well ladies and gentleman that is not the case! This team still has gas in the tank and they are ready to go!

I created this ACGM thread to show how good this team can be come next season that is if GMJR smartens up. Now ofc not all of this is going to happen, this is just what I want to happen. I don't expect it... but hey NOBODY KNOWS... ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!!

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Missouri

Just wanna say, Pens are better than last year.

Also, Sabres counter with Kasper Bjorkqvist + 2nd for Staal.

the most realistic scenario would be for them to do just sign Haula or Granland as a UFA. id love that.

Guenztal-Malkin-Rust
McCann-Haula-Erod/Jano

Theres just so many good teams that are better, and alot of good teams in Metro. I think they may barely make the playoffs but won't go far. Even if they did they'd get killed by the Avs as would any team except maybe Tampa, Lol

Minnesota declines instantly. And even if they didn't, Pittsburgh is the very last team they'd ever help get better as they have your unprotected 1st rounder

I’d be more worried about coaching’s drive to win.

Edit: And also management’s methods of trying to win.

if pens can stay healthy, we add a player like Haula or Granlund, and players like Jano and Matheson have bounce back years, this team would be tough to beat. am I calling them a cup favourite team? no. but I think they're definitely still a darkhorse

Hmm. I'd still probably do it tbh. What makes you think that we are better this year? I'm not saying we aren't I just want your opinion on it.

Buddy buddy, everyone this is the typical "stupid non-believer" here. @Jeuck75 Let me remind you that back in 2016 & 2017... Everyone said that this team can't go back to back. AND THEY DID. So be quiet and re-read my description where it says ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN One thing I have learned as a die hard penguins fan is that you NEVER and I mean NEVER count this team out. Cause when you least expect it, they will strike and kid they will win ANOTHER CUP AND ANOTHER CUP. I expect them to have 2 more (OR MAYBE MORE THERE IS NO LIMIT) before Crosby or Malkin retire... yeah thats positive thinking but ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

I suggest you watch more hockey because obviously you don't watch it enough to know anything about teams stories and history. Now thank you for putting such a negative vibe on my thread. shakes head

GO PENS GO

I was never the age of the players closing the window out, it was JR constant dumb ass decision making. Like signing Ceci for his 8th straight bad defenseman acquisition.

Hmmm lets see. Idk If you pay attention at all but Buffalo is a rebuilding team and not sure if your aware but that means that they suck and they trade away there old but good players for futures. So to answer your stupid question... NO THIS IS NOT A JOKE. ARE YOU A PENGUINS FAN?? DIDN"T THINK SO SO GO AWAY.

And hey buddy did I say all these trades and signings were going to happen ASAP??? NOOOOOOOO I didn't. This happens over the course of the season (probably at TDL)

Yeah I agree with that. I watched that "In the room" episode and ofc they didn't say anything about JR just about what this team has left in the tank for the future. So thats what I went with for this thread. I totally agree with you tho. JR has made some terrible decisions. smh

Anything is definitely possible. If Jarry and Crosby go on a tear in the playoffs, this team could still compete, I think.
Honestly, this team reminds me of the Red Wings circa 2011-2014. Stars are getting older and complimentary players getting locked in to longer term deals for too much money. GMJR is definitely not doing your team any favors though.

I'm very positive about the next couple years. the fact that the pens have battled through injuries and players underperforming shows there is something still there. with so few of the 2017 team still intact, the new players with more youth and speed have more potential for sure.
