I dunno. Other young players had the same opportunities. Instead of worrying about not making mistakes they played their butts off and did enough good to outweigh the bad. When you work hard and show the coaches and team you're working hard that leash gets some length. When you play video games and tweet about going out instead of working out then underperform the leash doesn't have much length. Tangradi wasn't a victim of not getting a chance he was a victim of not making the most of his chance.

If Bennett commits a turnover tonight then I expect 4th line duty for him

On what he’s been told about his opportunity with the Jets:
I’ve been told that it is an opportunity. I think I’m going to start with (Kyle Wellwood) and (Olli Jokinen) there on the left side. I’m just looking forward to it. It’s up to me if I stay there or not. That’s an opportunity I feel like I haven’t been given in the past, so I’m looking forward to it.

Really? An opportunity you havent been given? starting the season with Geno and Neal wasnt as good as an opportunity as Kyle Wellwood and Olli Jokinen, cmon man
Funny story at the bottom of the page:
Here’s a fun little story that I’m sure you’ll all enjoy regarding Eric Tangradi and Beau Bennett.

Anytime the Penguins arrive at a hotel on the road, all their keys are laid out on a table by the hotel staff. So the players, coaches, staff and media look for their names and grab their keys off the table – no big deal.

But when the players got to the hotel in Winnipeg, there was a key on the table marked “Tangradi.” The other players assumed that since the trip was planned in advance that Bennett, who was recalled that morning, didn’t have a room (he actually did have a room, but no one noticed his key). So the players handed Bennett the room key marked “Tangradi” and told him to take that room.

So Bennett, the wide-eyed rookie, headed up to “his” room. But there was a surprise awaiting him. After putting in his key and opening the door he found out someone was already in his room: Eric Tangradi.

As it turns out the Jets put Tangradi in the same hotel until he finds a place in the city. The Penguins did have a room for Bennett, but he didn’t see his key. The hotel put Tangradi’s room key out on the table going by the old list. Thus, a friendly face-to-face encounter by former teammates.

Needless to say, Bennett went back down to the front desk and grabbed his room key. No word yet if this time he opened the door to see Ben Lovejoy.
Bennett later commented that he found Tangradi playing video games upon entering the room.

I guess that's true. I mean look at Tyler Kennedy -- he has an extra long leash, and he hasn't worked hard and or played well at all this year. :pop:

Yeah, that was my main thing in one of my Tangradi diatribes earlier in the year (I think it was with Snapper)...he just looked so rigid (more rigid) out there, he literally over-thought everything and was scared to death...but whatever, I mean, he didn't show a ton of progress in a short time either...we could have handled it differently and gotten a somewhat different result I think...but this guy is no Todd Bertuzzi or anything skill wise...

It'll be interesting to see how he looks for the Jets tonight. Claude Noel doesn't seem too shy about giving his younger players every opportunity. That, and the fact that they traded Ponikarovsky to make room for Tangradi, should be a huge confidence boost for him.

He's also skating with Wellwood and Jokinen, not known for their speed. That should help him, I would think.

I thought it was Wellwood and Burmistrov.

Tangradi told reporters today that he'll be starting on a line with Jokinen and Wellwood. Burmistrov must've been moved up to 2nd line duty.

He'll be lined up for a hit, the guy will see him coming and move, and Tangradi puts himself thru the boards

That requires speed and direction. He doesn't have that vector, Victor.

Perhaps not, but for someone his size, will there be enough clearance, Clarence?

@slappybrown

Still haven't figured out why I used your comment as an emblem of "LGP ignorance", huh? Here's a clue: It had nothing to do with Tangradi. Re-read what I quoted. If you're still uncertain, ask a friend whose logic you trust. Good luck.

This isn't a game show or mystery theater; I'm not asking anybody anything. Your post says what it says. I said "[Tangradi] has little to no value" in the context of trade discussions. You quoted that and said that such a comment "sum[med] up LGP ignorance." There's nothing to "figure out." Given he was traded for a 7th round pick, there's not much more to say. Good luck.

I was able to watch the last couple Jets games. Tangradi looks the same as he did with the Pens.

He isn't getting a chance there. :roll:

He's playing with Wellwood who hasn't scored all year, and Jokinen who hadn't scored in forever until he got a gift today (it was on a shift where he wasn't with Tangradi).

Tangradi is useless.
