That's kind of the inherent problem of the Internet. PR is kind of a microcosm of it. Only so much can be said about the Pens, but instead we have a thousand page "Trade Deadline" thread where every poster comes up with unrealistic hypotheticals as to who'd they want and who they want to get rid of.

Not to mention you have the Ilk who suck off the blood of Pens fans after a loss. I don't know if they're just very depressed individuals or if they just want to do it to see optimists lower their hopes but they're insufferable

Not to mention the snowball effect of this, where you have a group of people who only show up to call out those people who only show up to complain after a loss.

When I see the first of these comments in a GDT I stop and don't come back to it. It's a discussion forum Event Horizon for me. ;)

:lol: Perhaps. If I read multiple posts from a person that are just constantly berating a player (as in, more than Jim against Fleury :P - I like Jim's comments) or cruelly sarcastic, I lose my patience quick & foe.

... my number's around 50, but includes a lot of folks like Puck Drama & other people in the past that haven't posted in years.

And exactly, MIMH/Douglas Murray ( ;) ), it's such a terrible circle that builds up. It's just not fun to join in on GDTs most of the time, and I end up getting frustrated. Just not worth it anymore.

The ban list should be publicized, along with their offence.

That will never happen for the same reason the insider's guide was removed. The mod's don't want to give trophys to morons.

I read that he injured it blocked a shot Feb 22 and then reinjured it against the Pens.

I spotted by Chara and Hossa jersey shirts during my morning travels. That's exceedingly rare in coastal Georgia.

A little Jr. B action if I may...Colton Point (Erie Otters 14th round pick) of North Bay made 107 saves in a 3OT win...

meow, easy or hard to make 107 saves in a game...? I'm thinking pretty darn easy, but you're the goalie guy so...

98.1% is pretty legit. I went into triple overtime one time. Ended up with 76 saves, I think, and a hospital visit for dehydration. I can't imagine how he felt after that game. Once the adrenaline wore off, I bet his crash was monumental. That's great for him. Always like to hear nuggets like that.

So... suspension or no? Guessing a small one because it's Kucherov & he has no history.

Maybe...I could see it either way...Enstrom has such a high level of escapability and he normally makes this same pivot move to get out of trouble...the thought is, the forechecker will follow me to the end boards, I'll hit the brakes and reverse the flow just as the forechecker commits to the hit, I'll slip underneath him and out the backdoor...in this case, Kucherov comes from underneath him and Enstrom basically turns right into it...Kucherov goes through his numbers and it results in an injury, so he might get dinged a game or two...but he was ejected from that game and has a clean history, so I wouldn't be surprised with any outcome that results in a 0-2 game suspension...

Without knowing any of the context, that looks like a minor penalty.
