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

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.

the team IMHO may or may not be better this year....the one thing the pens have done is give the team huge potential to succeed. maybe matheson, Kapanen, and Jankowski rebound..., maybe jarry/desmith can perform be a solid G tandem, maybe adding Sceviour/Erod/etc... plus a step forward from ZAR/Blueger/McCann etc.... can give us a decent bottom-6 for once...

with the players we had before, there was not as much potential for a rebound in some cases....
Hornqvist isn't getting any better, Murray's been average for 2-3 years, Sheary/Schultz have had 1 good year, etc...

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

EXACTLY!!! Now these are TRUE penguins fans!! I like the positivity guys! Its going to be yet another great season (if we have one lol) and I look forward to it! Thank you for your great comments!!

I look forward to seeing your reaction when you don't win another Cup with that core. Cause its not happening. As I said to the other guy, there's a BUNCH of better teams like the Avs that would CRUSH you in a series.

And your welcome for the "negative vibes"

Buddy every year there is better teams... but guess what they don't win its always an unexpected underdog. Sure Tampa finally one and yet they've been predicted to for the past 5 years. Anyways what I'm trying to say is yes I see your point but I do believe that the playoffs are unpredictable... the season not so much but the playoffs you never know who will win. Take the penguins v.s Montreal... shall I say more (I'm still largely embarassed by that loss lol) shakes head

I understand what your saying man, I'm just saying that there is plenty of stuff that can happen yet!! Really excited for it all!!

Ok don't be hasty... I'm laughing at this rn tho. You are talking to a guy who has season tickets for both the Jets and Brandon Wheat Kings, I also pay around $200 a year for the subscription of TSN NHL Live Streams just so I can watch every single Penguins game. I also take a week in every year (as a vacation) to go see 3-4 random NHL games somewhere (usually an american team) just so I can scout out players. I also get up each morning and instead of watching the normal news I watch a new episode of either 7 Eleven That's Hockey or Sportscentre (Depending what is on atm)

So dude don't judge me.

Well I’d assume that most people on this website watch each team play at least once, since each team plays each other at least twice. So you’d be able to watch the whole league just by watching your own favourite team.
