Think it's enough if they make the final. Wouldn't mind seeing CAR-VAN..

Re: Jake to Carolina
For the Cup... fine. But of the East teams that made the playoffs... you really want NYR, NYI, WAS, BOS, TOR to advance over CAR? These are good teams with likeable fanbases?pronovost19 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 5:05 pm ABC

Carolina makes the final, the Pens get a first. That's good enough reason for me to cheer them on until then, because there is no one else compelling to me in the East.

Re: Jake to Carolina
I dislike pretty much all other eastern teams more than Carolina. Maybe Florida a distant second? Anyone else, please lose every game lol.Sigwolf wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:57 pmFor the Cup... fine.

I'll take a western team to win the cup and prefer Vancouver. Wouldn't mind Winnipeg either. So either of those to beat Carolina in the final and we get an extra 31st overall pick.

Re: Jake to Carolina
Rags beat the Canes in OT tonight to go up 3-0.
Canes aren’t going anywhere.

Re: Jake to Carolina
Carolina won't be making a reverse sweep against this Rangers team. Just not happening.
Say goodbye to 31st overall as well.

Re: Jake to Carolina
Carolina could use Bunting actually. They don't have any players that score dirty goals. It's the same thing every year with them. They are a great regular season team, but come playoff team they aren't nearly gritty enough.

Re: Jake to Carolina
I like Bunting. As much as losing Jake was painful, he gives something we really missed. The team's identity needs to change or we'll never get anywhere, even with an influx of younger guys down the line. Bunting and the prospects will help towards that

Re: Jake to Carolina
I miss Jake as well, but I still feel that trade was the right thing, and it's been good for both squads (the 3-0 deficit notwithstanding...Jake hasn't been the problem). Bunting was really something the Pens lacked. Throw in the 3 prospects (fingers crossed that at the very least one of them makes the club at some point), and it's a good a deal as I think they were going to get under the circumstances.

Re: Jake to Carolina
I'm not sure I get any heartburn over the trade. He absolutely was not staying or resigning here, so what is there to be upset about? Unhappiness over the return I guess is the only thing I could theoretically understand but I'm not sure we were going to be able to get much more than what we got. Being unhappy that he was traded at all though, that I just don't get. I loved Jake but if people are mad that he was moved at all, it kind of highlights one of what this organization's major issues are... a refusal to move on from anything and anyone, or make any substantive changes. Keep the core together for 30 years at all costs, keep the same failure behind the bench for a decade, etc etc. The entire rest of the league is moving people, firing coaches, making changes and adjusting ... this team still acts like and thinks if they close their eyes and imagine it's still 2016, it will be.

Same (senti)mentality submarined the Steelers in the early '80s and set them up for quite a few seasons of mediocrity.

Re: Jake to Carolina
Last night between periods, the boys in the studio lamented the fact that the Canes have nobody screening the goalie on the PP. Actually said Jake needs to get in front instead of off to the side for a deflection. Gee, sounds familiar.

Bunting and more players who play his type of game are what we need.
