A lot more hate than I thought for a guy who gave his all for this franchise. Not that it was that much, but it was a ton of effort and fight. Oh we'll,

It isn't hate...its the facts of life. He was terrible. You can have all the heart you want and still be terrible at what you do.MarioLives wrote:A lot more hate than I thought for a guy who gave his all for this franchise. Not that it was that much, but it was a ton of effort and fight. Oh we'll,

Re: Ex-pen moving on
The "hating" is a good balance from the irrational love he gets from pens fans for a good month and a half on crosby's wing. If he never plays on crosbys wing, no one cares about him. See...Tomas Surovy.

That's really my main motivation. Talbot at least won this franchise a cup. All Armstrong ever did was be funny and have a stupid nose.Idoit40fans wrote:The "hating" is a good balance from the irrational love he gets from pens fans for a good month and a half on crosby's wing.

Re: Ex-pen moving on
What does that have to do with hockey? That's the facts. Rico Fata had heart, but he sucked. Rushel Shell loves his kids, but sucks at being a dad. It is all relevant.Crankshaft wrote:Your wife or girlfriend must think you're a joy to be around.Kovy27 wrote:It isn't hate...its the facts of life. He was terrible.

Happy trails. He was never the same ever since he laid that hit out on that Hurricane and they changed the rules.

Re: Ex-pen moving on
Good luck in Sweden. He didn't look good at all with MTL and had a HC in MT that really knew him and probably wanted him around to tell guys in the locker room exactly what it means to play on a MT team. He just looked really slow and lethargic in the games I saw him in and probably time to take it overseas and make some $$$. Colby obviously wasn't in much or any demand around the NHL.
He's 30 years old and likely has some hockey left in him. Hope he invested wisely before or will now because he sure ain't got a career as a commercial pitchman![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Dude always showed up against the Flyers and was a big part of what made Sid's rookie year special despite being a bad team. The Cardiac Kids were very entertaining to watch, and for that I'll be thankful for your time as a Penguin, Army. Good luck.

Re: Ex-pen moving on
Not gonna hate on @armdog, but I don't see his career lasting more than two years at this point. He looked beyond slow and was unnoticeable last season.
If I had one game of pro experience, I'd be content with my hockey "career". He played the 400 game minimum for his NHL pension and will be more than likely playing until he's 32 or 33. I'm guessing/hoping he was smart enough to put some money back from that overpayment of a Leafs contract.Crankshaft wrote:He's making a living doing what he loves. We should all be so lucky.
