Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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

Bennett later commented that he found Tangradi playing video games upon entering the room.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:Funny story at the bottom of the page:ShipHockey7 wrote:Tangradi on the Pens Report today:
http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=655793" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;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
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.

2nd mistake = benching
3rd mistake = scratched
Playing video games = traded
C'mon rookies, squeeze those sticks a little tighter!

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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.Pavel Bure wrote:When you work hard and show the coaches and team you're working hard that leash gets some length.

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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...

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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.mikey287 wrote: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...

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
He's also skating with Wellwood and Jokinen, not known for their speed. That should help him, I would think.tfrizz wrote:It'll be interesting to see how he looks for the Jets tonight.

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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.MRandall25 wrote:I thought it was Wellwood and Burmistrov.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:He's also skating with Wellwood and Jokinen, not known for their speed.

That requires speed and direction. He doesn't have that vector, Victor.pensfan1989 wrote:He'll be lined up for a hit, the guy will see him coming and move, and Tangradi puts himself thru the boardscanaan wrote:i hope tangradi gets put through the boards.

Perhaps not, but for someone his size, will there be enough clearance, Clarence?Eismann wrote:That requires speed and direction.

@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.

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
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.pcm wrote:@slappybrown

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

No points and a minus player with 5 more mins of ice time a night. Thanks a lot HCDB.

Re: Tangradi traded to Winnipeg for 7th round pick
He isn't getting a chance there.
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.
