GSG Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I do not like the Flyers, but this is a pretty cool mask: Steve Mason's Goalie Mask Features Zombified American Patriots Ben Franklin: Betsy Ross: George Washington: Quote Link to comment

SeeingRedMK Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Those Sabres jerseys look gross. Yuck! Not a fan of the main yellow color with gray and midnight blue. IMO that combination just does NOT look right with gold as the central color. The other jerseys worn by Buffalo where the blue was the central color look much better. Quote Link to comment

That is good news for you guys... Having solid help on the blue line does so much that folks fail to think about... Quote Link to comment

What were your impression(s)? from what little I saw, the Pens are gonna be tough to beat... I read that Fleury did not play too well. Only 8 saves on 10 shots, allowing 2 goals. I know it's just a preseason game, but still. Vokoun is scheduled to start tonight against Detroit. But I really don't think it matters how well he plays in the preseason. The team intends on sticking with Flower, according to the coaches. Quote Link to comment

They are going to steam roll through the regular season, but at the end of the day, it's either going to be the Rangers, Bruins? Quote Link to comment

He was downright awful. Definitely a contrast between his level of play in the regular season those years compared to the playoffs. Vokoun is not a legitimate starting goalie. He is past his time for that role. He's a nice backup who can provide a spot start, or hold down the fort when the starter is hurt. From what I have seen over last year, the Penguins will only go as far as Fleury takes them. A team can score all it wants, but if it does not have strong, consistent goaltending, then forget about a run. Quote Link to comment

There had been some Sid the Kid trade rumors, and it makes you wonder, as the trade deadline approaches, would they pull the trigger on a move for a top goalie?? Quote Link to comment
SeeingRedMK Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Trading Crosby? I highly doubt that. To me that is an unthinkable transaction. The Kid is THE franchise. Add in that he probably has the most stringest clauses in his contract about being traded/moving to another team, and I highly doubt he'll leave Pittsburgh. I would think he is going to be a Penguin for his entire career - as much to the dismay of other hockey fans! Knowing the Pens, I think they will give Fleury a while to play better. But if he can't live up, a trade is possible. The Penguins certainly have the assests to make it happen. By the way, are you a Penguins fan? If you can't tell, I am. Quote Link to comment
