ParticipantPat exclaimed:

Rip down the Maurice Richard statue and replace it.

ParticipantKick wondered aloud:
devils fans claim his rebound control was real bad and he was giving up a softie or giving up two quick goals too many times. but who knows, they’re devils fans comments i was reading. those people up there are all effed up in the head from all the smog, chemicals, and general north jerseyness (which is a documented clinical medical condition).
I think when Markstrom missing about a dozen games to injury forced Allen to play too much last year in a short span, which did not help. Plus, the Devils were suppose to be contenders, so fans had high expectations, so many injuries derailed that train.
He is not a #1 (far from it), but he is in the pack of decent available back-up goalies, and only costs cap space and no additional assets.
If you limit his games to back0to-back nights and the occasional rest of Monty, he is not terrible.
There are worse, but likely better options out there.

Yeah, I have trouble keeping track of who said what around here.
Frustrating.

Participantyeah, I don’t understand why the “reply” option is there but not functioning at all, it seems like it’s just a matter of activating it or something… I still prefer HB for the technical aspect and wouldn’t care if we continued posting there, but oh well.

It is OK.
You can just admit you miss EK.
(and maybe even Pete.)

Pens are in trouble. no prospects, old vets with huge contracts, a GM not sure anyone should trust….

ParticipantFido rightly stated:

They had a good run there for a long time, and passing the torch from Lemieux to Crosby (and Malkin) just gave them even more success.
But that is going to be a very long re-build.
And you are right, they do not have the right GM for that (or, if he should even be a GM). That being said, I am pretty sure ownership forced the Karlsson trade (And a few other decisions).
