Attn: All trolls,

STAY HERE !

THANX !

pEktaS said...

so it this gonna end up looking different or will ti look the same and use the same like comment software and everything?

Vince From ShamWOW! said...

Something tells me Blogger wouldn't be happy if you used the exact same site without their name in it . . .

It will obviously change.

pEktaS said...

ahhh i thought that was part of blogspot or w.e the old site was thats why i was confused

i dont know much about blogs just whcih ones i like to read haha

O'Shea said...

goodbye.

Safe travel Dick & Co.

See you soon.

powerhouse said...

Lets see when we lost players to injuries who saved our ass?


Anyone remember? Thats right Conklin. Where is he now Mr Shero?

Lets bring up Curry maybe he can stop the bleeding. I question whether or not anyone in the Pens organization gives a shit!!!

Put GoGo back in and ship Eaton out. GoGo is solid. Bring up half the Wilkes Barre fowards and get this shit turned around.

Therien cannot adjust to changes and should go. If Shero doesn't shape up he can go to. I am not impressed. Sorry, I just read Mirtle's post on the Pens and I am pissed.

TheNWChica said...

We'll be over later with a casserole or two and a case of beer to help unload the truck!

Stoosh said...

The Stooshes will be over later as well. Nancy Stoosh is bringing a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies and a tray of brownies. I'm bringing some Molsons and a case of Railbender Ale.

Mirtle's post hits the nail on the head; too much turnover from last year at the wrong positions, and the injuries to Gonchar and Whitney really, really REALLY hurt this team.

Losing Gonch for this team is the equivalent of Boston losing Chara or Detroit losing Lidstrom...you can mitigate those losses for a while, but those guys do so much both on and off the ice that asking just about anyone to take over those roles is asking too much of most players.

Gonchar doesn't just quarterback the powerplay here. He played defense at an elite level last year. He got to loose pucks in front of Fleury. He played incredible positional defense. He jumpstarts the rush with his breakout passes and he's the best player on the team at skating the puck out of the defensive zone and starting the attack. The entire transitional game revolves around him.

In his absence, we've turned that role over to a center (Malkin/Crosby) who normally would be the recipient of his breakout passes or the next guy to get the puck from the wing. We've also asked two second-year pros - Letang and Goligoski - to handle that as well. You just can't put that kind of burden on kids that inexperienced.

If you want to know why we mostly look like mud trying to get out of our own zone and into the attacking zone, look no further than Gonchar's absence.

The collapse of the defensive play and the inconsistent goaltending has only compounded the problem.

Goodbye Blogger!

peace

tGB will be bringing finger sandwiches and those little hotdogs on toothpicks for housewarming purposes.

Goodbye Blogger.

debrisslide said...

Jeez, this move is taking forever. I'm excited for the new site, damn it. I will also help move. I can bring steaks!

Someone in Mirtle's comments section was jobbing Scuderi's ice time because he "can't move the puck." Yeah, the man's no Gonchar, but the season would be in even worse shape if Scuds weren't out there. Why haven't we noticed him clearing shit out of Fleury's kitchen re: the beginning of the season? I don't think he's unwilling. . .

Vince From ShamWOW! said...

Found the new site. It just hasn't loaded through the server yet. It still reverts back to here.

http://www.thepensblog.com/pensblog/january-2009/tutorial.html

They are Bloguin now! Woooooo!

Nulpher said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now if only the URL will change over...

Allison said...

@urban- I like the way you started this post.

I'll bring the rum to the house warming party...that's about all I'm good for, how sad.

Can't wait to see the new site!

dying alive said...

Philly just beat the Giants. Gag.

Add in the Pens losing streak and the fact that the Ravens also won yesterday, and the only thing that could make my weekend better is being hit by a bus.

The only thing that can redeem it now is a Steelers win. Steelers vs. Chargers at Heinz Field. What's the over/under on Roethlisberger interceptions?

Eric P. said...

RIP Blogspot

debrisslide said...

So I was just on the new site, posted a comment, etc. and now I can't get back to it. Ergh.

Good thing Sheli Manning decided to show up today.

Regardless if he has a ring or not, what a joke. He'll never be 1/10th of the player that Peyton is.

Goodbye dearest site.

Maybe with a new site, there will be a new winning streak for our dearest team?

bayonetwork said...

is Team pensblog (for both consoles) staying with blogspot?

Rage said...

They migrated there too. There's links for em, or so I noticed for the minute or so it actually worked for me

urban said...

@Allison - Thanks, I have a flair for the dramatic/confusing.

Everything except the user profiles seem to work well over there, as long as you go to http://thepensblog.bloguin.com

Bloguin=FAIL...

Guerin >>> Satan

BlacknGold66 said...

I'm thinking King Shero just pulled off a steal of a deal.

The Goon Blogger said...

Guerin for at most a 3rd rounder? Whatevs city. Trust in Shero.

kstewy16 said...

Bloguin has completely pooped out on me finally.

wilsmith said...

i actually kind of hate guerin.

The Goon Blogger said...

I'd just like to point out I totally called it last night.

Woooo!

Beav said...

Hopefully I'm wrong but bill guerin seems like a washed up old man who brings nothing to the table. Maybe it's just bitterness from having him on my fantasy team for points this year.

fleuryous said...

Does anyone else think Shero's doing anything else?

PenguinsExperience.com said...

Yeah, the Bloguin site is completely dead.

fleuryous said...

PE...heard anything else?

My computer is ghey.

PenguinsExperience.com said...

It's rumoured that Chris Neil has been traded to Florida.

The Leafs have been offered second round picks for both Antropov and Moore.
The Leafs are holding out for more.

PenguinsExperience.com said...

I haven't heard anything coming from the Penguins.

It seems weird that Shero didn't do more.

PenguinsExperience.com said...

Phoenix sends Daniel Carcillo to Philly for Scottie Upshall and a 2nd round pick

The Goon Blogger said...

Carcillo to the Flyers for Upshall and a pick.

fleuryous said...

But supposedly TIOPS is saying that Gill and a forward were traded.


And TIOPS=gospel truth.


Why does that site exist?

fleuryous said...

Upshall's gone?!

Oh man...that's...that. haha

The Goon Blogger said...

Antropov is a Ranger. Jokes.

Nate8724 said...

yea bloguin died

btw here is a link to a live feed to a NHL trade show

http://penguins.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?id=35329&catid=616

fleuryous said...

At one point, there were over 1200 people signed on, so it doesn't surprise me that it died.

Nate8724 said...

and those are jsut people signed in thats not even counting the people who are on the site but not logged on

rickyaustin said...

thepensblog cannot be contained

The Goon Blogger said...

Morris is a Ranger. They needed help on the blueline.

And Deadline.

The Goon Blogger said...

Rags gave up a lot for Morris. Kalinin, Dawes, and Prucha. Wow.

PHX picked up some solid players in giving up the likes of Carcillo, Morris, and Jokinen.

The Goon Blogger said...

Sabres get Moore from Toronto for a 2nd rounder.

Meh.

PenguinsExperience.com said...

I'm happy with what the Pens did. They waived Satan, picked up some depth and kept Jordan Staal.

fleuryous said...

YES, PE :).

And Gill is still here.
All aboard.

fleuryous said...

Well...about keeping Staal, I mean.

Thanks guys, for all of the updates--really appreciate it :)

Beav said...

Happy that the Pens didn't give up JStaal, Letang, Gogo, etc. Don't really want Guerin, Craig Adams is meh, Woz who cares? A pretty whatevs day

Resputan said...

Ooh nostalgia I almost miss this old comment page.

Meh...trade day seems a bit anticlimatic unless something huge hasnt been released yet.

MizzPenz said...

Was crossing my fingers and eyes all afternoon hoping that I wouldn't see Staals name pop up on the trade tracker. Unless something else is brewing that we don't know about, I'm ok with what all went down for the Pens.

PenguinsExperience.com said...

Atlanta sent EC to Anaheim.

kstewy16 said...

Super-glad that Staal is still around.
Believe me people, 3 years from now we'll be glad we didn't trade Staal for a 36 year old midget.

kstewy16 said...

Prucha Kalinin and Dawes for Morris is a joke. Glen Sather is easily the worst GM in the league.

BlacknGold66 said...

@Stew: Totally agree about the midget and the Gronk.

Nate8724 said...

Yea trading Staal would have been extremely stupid. We are seeing now just a little bit of how he can play. He is a great player and is a part of our core. Would have been dumb to lose him

Holy Goligoski said...

Caputi sent to Wheeling. Ouch.



WBS Pens discipline four players for violation of team rules: Luca Caputi and Jon D'Aversa sent to Wheeling; Aaron Boogaard and Chris Minard to sit out tonight's game.

Bill Thomas has cleared waivers and will rejoin the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pens.

Tim Wallace was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre by Pittsburgh.

Stoosh said...

Really happy with the job Shero did today.

Chiarelli gave up a 2nd rounder and two players for Recchi.

Sather - who I swear thinks it's still 2002 and not 2009 - gave up three players (two of whom are young and could still get better) and two picks (one of them a second-rounder) for Morris and Antropov, who are both unrestricted free agents.

Shero gives up at worst a third-round pick for Guerin. With a few exceptions here and there, most third-rounders become minor leaguers or role players at the NHL level.

That's a good deal by Shero getting a guy who can play in front of the net on the power play, add some more grit on the boards and capitalize off some of the chances he'll get now that he's playing with a couple of real centers.

rrob80 said...

what will become of satan? minors? 4th line? back to hell(aka long island)?

wilsmith said...

if carcillo is a flyer, this could be interesting

Nulpher said...

Yep. Bloguin died.

I thought I got blocked at work though, but then I checked here to see that it just died from traffic.

As far as today's trade, its not bad. We didn't give anything other than a conditional draft pick up and we got something decent in return. Plust Satan is going to WB/S.

coffeytalk said...

glad to see that when bloguin choked, yinz are in here.

thank goodness for no surprise pens trades.

big sigh-o-relief in 3...2...1....

Docciavelli said...

Ahh...knew it. Everyone came back to old cblog.

Anyways, getting Guerin, even as old as he is, is an upgrade over Satan. He's more physical, and in Disco's system that's a must. The payment of a 3rd-to-5th rounder is nice.

Could we put bloguin on waivers and pick up blogspot for a late-rounder? Just sayin'...

coffeytalk said...

bloguin's not making the playoffs.

Steve In Denver said...

I think Shero did a great job today. I'm also happy Staal is still here. He's been solid lately. The kid is still growing into that lanky body...he's got freakish reach, and he will be dominant when he hits 23-24. Guerin will be a solid add for the run. If nothing else, he's been a captain, has stanly cup experience, and like Kunitz, he goes to the net, which is something NOBODY was doing on the Pens earlier.

I'd say the Rags and Philly did more harm than good. I was impressed with what Phoenix and Calgary did today. And Toronto just does shit to do shit because they think they're the epicenter of the NHL.

Bloguin?? Step into my office, cause your fuckin' fired!

Christine said...

epic fail :(

fleuryous said...

Bloguin really might not make the playoffs.

I wonder when it'll be undead.


Whatev. All aboard the USS...

I think I might be a little too happy he didn't get traded.

Chubs said...

Wow, Bloguin's still dead. It's nice to see everyone come back home with it down though.

Steve In Denver said...

King Shero's talkin' live now.

jefe p said...

i only stopped by to see Dick, er, the penguin..

lotta ex-pens switchin teams today. carcillo, ec, welch, moore..

i like the guerin pickup. yinz better learn to like him. at least until he chokes.

go pens.

Anthony said...

Wow bloguin stinks....

Ray Sheros gonna trade bloguin for a prospect.

Steve In Denver said...

I love what I'm hearing from Shero's presser...he was not interested in moving Staal or many other "core" guys, nor was he giving up early round picks. He added 3 guys who have rings and experience without giving up much.

Wooooo.

xocharmedchildox said...

Wow, i love how everyone just returns to our first home. Love it. And im kinda excited for guerin. We need a veteran in that locker room imo.

xocharmedchildox said...

I loved when Shero said he was NEVER going to trade staal today. Hopefully that now puts to rest the "trade staal" rumors... for now.

xocharmedchildox said...

New post!

Nulpher said...

Staal put on waivers (e5)

Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins has been placed on waivers.

You heard it here first.

shally said...

Greeting! What do you think of wow gold? I always lack of wow gold to buy some great item for my char before the wow patch 3.1 and I need to do wow power leveling for the cheapest wow gold or I have to search cheap wow gold on google search. The world changed since the 3.1 patch released. Short of buy wow gold for me wasn't so high frequency now. And I’m curious why this situation happened? The items became cheap? Or we can farm wow gold much easy? Hope someone can give me an answer.
