Hell-e-buyck! Hell-e-buyck! Hell-e-buyck!

Maurice never said someone was getting benched for poor play. It just didn't happen.

oops

Seemed like JSK was at WILL for both pre-season games. I didn't see much of training camp. I believe he was an inside LB in college.

I don't recall Buff ever being that effective in front of the net. Yes he is large and takes up a lot of space. But I don't think it has ever really worked since he was in Chicago. That's a long time ago.

I have a hard time agreeing. Just because a guy loses the title doesn't mean he's out of the picture. Neville has dominated the cruiserweight scene for months. So he has to take a step back for a bit... who cares? He still gets paid... and he would be back on top in no time anyways. This reminds me of Ryback quitting after a year when he won the IC Title and the US Title because he felt like he wasn't getting enough respect. His career was at its highest point and he walked away because he thought he should be world champ. Stupid. It's a long career if you play it right, and there are ups and downs for everyone.

What trash!! Buff is supposed to sit at home and stare at the wall because he's injured? I can't believe fans are making such a big deal over this. It was an off-day. It's the height of immaturity from the fanbase to expect players to not be human. As far as keeping Ladd.... the guy can barely skate anymore. I've never seen such an awkward, labored stride in my life.

So what's the problem then.... our DC or our lack of an impact MLB?

He was also asked to block more than any other back in the league over the last 2 years, with almost no threat of him running (often getting 5 carries or less per game). It's a tough assignment and yeah, there are going to be misses. I think he got a bit of a rough ride playing in an offence that was so pass-heavy for so long.

See this is what I tried to explain to my dad when mom died. I said "Dad, 30 people died in Iraq yesterday and you didn't care at all. Why so emotional now? You xenophobic ****."

Probably why they beat us at football nearly half the time

Who is paying you?

We're all doomed!!!

Well, I guess he is either hurt and this is a non-story, or he is not hurt and we will be hearing more as the days go on. Certainly it would seem that if he was close enough to maybe play on Monday, he should be in the lineup Thursday. We'll see.

I also would like to see the source of that quote because that's usually something the media would jump on and I haven't heard it at all

Backup QB comes in cold and doesn't mount a game-winning comeback. Should be cut immediately. Rookie receiver drops a pass? Cut! Who else can we cut? Maybe if we cut enough players we will never lose another game.

The video is kinda disturbing. This is a man going through a lot of issues.... cocaine abuse is likely just one small part. Hopefully he can get the help he needs.

If Poolman is actually better than Buff, he would stay in, I have no doubt about that. But that conversation can't even happen yet because he has played one game and while it was very encouraging, he still just played a safe, average-level game. It's nice that he didn't get lit up. But Buff has years of all-star level play on his resume. It takes a lot more than a decent game with 15 minutes TOI to knock a guy like that out of the lineup.

I did. We're talking about colour commentary. What are you talking about?

They do colour? Who? Big difference between analyst and colour commentator.

Of course it doesn't happen that often because the rookie is rarely better than the vet (even if the fans always insist otherwise). But it does happen. "Murray was better. He earned the job on equal footing.".... wtf... this is exactly what we're talking about. The rookie was better than the vet and won the job while Fleury was injured. Fleury got what... one game once he was healthy?

He was a rookie. Players do get better over their careers.

Yeah. You haven't? You're a Pens fan. Remember when Matt Murray became a starter?

Not that I've ever seen.
