Hey DK! J1Q, after another electric PWHL jailbreak goal, do you think the NHL should/would implement it into their rulebook? With players like Bryan Rust who could absolutely THRIVE with an opportunity like that, it could be a very interesting thing to test in the preseason. 🤔🐧
Maybe i saw someone in here say it, or elsewhere that less might be more for Letang for ice time. Keep him in the roles he is strongest in.
👻🐧👻
Maybe letang and soloviov would work as a 3rd pair. Soloviov isn't kulak but maybe hes conservative enough to support letang. I just dont know who becomes your 2nd pair or if we even have enough talent to create a new seco d pair.
J1Q You mentioned the shot attempts as your go to stats for Letang. What about the +/-?
“Problem”? He’s a complete disaster. Sadly, we won’t win a cup with him on the team.
I do find it discouraging that leadership both on and off the ice refuses to make roster adjustments despite obvious problems. I mean its nice to see them honor the nostagia and togetherness by bringing in beloved players but hey perhaps lets help the 2026 pens team get the job done.
They won a cup with him in the press box. That should have told them not to resign him long term to big money.
You said “ pylon Kris Letang “ lol j/k
He was on the other side of the ice for those goals….his partner laid on the ice and got beat both times….it's not letangs fault and I wish you would all quit with the dumb stuff. Start a counter and see who does what instead of thinking because he isn't Crosby he isnt good, he is still a top 4 dman whether all the haters he's had throughout his career finally have a little drop off to jump on it not. Theyve always been loud, clear through Letang being THE dman who gave the 3 rings and they will continue.
I’ve been saying it for years. He’s awful, and a decent offensive showing every once in a while does not come close to making up for all the bonehead mistakes. I was right about him just like I was right about Tomlin.
Im more concerned with wins and losses and not so many of the other stats that todays fans are enamored with ! letang has been an incredible player for a long time and that is the issue , the miles are really starting to show ! this year only 2 teams are great and the rest are just the rest , if Tampa and Colorado get knocked out of the playoffs its wide open for the rest . If we could script it the pens win the cup and letang goes out on a high and retires .
Tanger is cooked. He needs to go.
I love how they asked letang about how great Erik Karlson is 😂 and you can see on his face he didnt want to talk about it…
People been ripping on Letang since he got to the league, myself included at times. Yet he's got 3 cups just like the rest of the core, and he contributed to each of them no doubt. He'll come around.
We don't have time for games with this situation.
This letang narrative has really taken flight fast
You mean you'll keep it 100..😂
I turned it off after hearing Letang is elite 3 on 3 when we have an abysmal OT record
I hate seeing Letang slander. Yes, he’s taken a step back. Maybe less ice time could be better for him and the team. Let him play his time out in peace, please.
I’m surprised that people are just noticing. Letang hasn’t been very good for 4-5 years now and IMO a big reason the Penguins haven’t been going to the playoffs.
