Another Guds game for the big fella tonight. 21 minutes and change.
I watched some of that game, Guds led a few rushes and made a couple of big hits and whatnot.

He's a different player when he knows he can trust his partner.
I’m gonna laugh when guddy demolishes the playoffs like he did with Florida. The media here needs to wise up.

Don't make him dig through your old posts Blobby.

You are a good example of a fan who wants an asshole but isn't willing to pay the asshole extra.

I guess if you didn't watch the games, you probably didn't watch the all the media coverage either.

You must have also been absent from the Internet during that time. Not even an old radio to tune into the sports talk stations?

Where were you? Doing some deep, undercover covert operations in the DES? Did you rescue Dude and get him to rehab?

Lol he had a six game run in the playoffs.

I think the only thing getting demolished is the bowl of paint chips you guys are passing around

I don't remember Gudbranson exacting retribution on the last two players who injured Pettersson, either.
It's not usually about "exacting retribution".

Most players wouldn't dare drop the gloves with Mr Gudbranson.

That doesn't mean the so-called "deterrent factor" isn't a thing.

Sure it didn't deter that particular player on that particular play

... but it remains "a factor".

Teams size up other teams and when they see a certain level of pussiness they take more liberties.

When they see a reasonable level of assholishness, they tend to take less liberties.

Are you new to hockey Cliffy?

Or are you serving as Danny's attorney tonight?

Lol he had a six game run in the playoffs.
And then his team got eliminated.

He was playing at an extremely high level and there's no reason to think that wouldn't have continued.

Some players perform better in the playoffs and Jim Rutherford considers the Guds to be one of those guys.

I agree with him.

Guds was a deterrent. He could well have been more of one but either he was reluctant to be or had a collar.
When the trade came down, my first impression was a sinking feeling and an Ah Fuck, Why? For what?......... Still is.
His mobility was in question and he seemed confused on his defensive positioning. Didn't seem too interested in an offensive side to his game
at all.
Not sure if his skating could have improved. I would guess yes, with the right help.
As for the rest of it, fear of doing the wrong thing and having his ice-time cut back comes to mind, at least mine.

Is Blobbee now in the market for a goon after running our goon out of town? Holy Hell man. His mind is like a Wringley Brothers Circus

Yo Yo Ma! Reefer? Can you recommend an album?

I haven’t said a word about getting a goon.

The elbow from Kreider was a love tap. Lemieux shouldn’t have even gotten a penalty for that okay with Rousell. Check the GDT for all the Garbagebranson fanboys

The Lemieux hit was the worse of the 2. The fact Petey got bonked in the schnoz was 50% pure dumb luck. But I liked the call going our way for once.

Pittsburgh is delighted with $4M Gudbranson and they know a thing or two about playoffs.

Admit it, you would have loved the Guds at $2M.
I have been dying to post something similar about the Guds. I'm just too busy for the whining more likely than not to ensue. As bad as the Guds was on paper I'd trade 2x Tanner Pearson for him back. An a good team he is a real tangible asset.

Blaming EG for our shitty team defense is like blaming the janitor for sinking the titanic. With Travis Green giving a season pass to Pouliot I find it comical that everyone piled on EG as the reason for our troubles. :drink:
