Re: NHL Playoffs 2013: Shut up, Pierre...

Jarome Iginla had a choice between Boston and Pittsburgh...

Off sides again. The Penguins are a mess right now.
 
Re: NHL Playoffs 2013: Shut up, Pierre...

Dumb penalty. Marchant can pizz off both teams simultaneously.

Nope.

"I approached Jarome and had a number of conversations with him about where we are and where we want to go moving forward," said Feaster, describing the process that ended with a "yea" or "nay" from Iginla. "In the final analysis we had offers from three different clubs. The player in this particular case has a no-trade/no-move clause, so the player was also a part of the process. We worked with the player, and we concluded a deal this evening with the Pittsburgh Penguins."

Iginla said in his comments Thursday that the opportunity to play with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin made Pittsburgh's offer the most desirable of the three that were on the table, according to Feaster.

"The opportunity to go play on a team with the two best players in the world … as a player, I wanted that opportunity," Iginla said.

I think Jean-Claude Van Damme may be available for Pittsburgh.

That's not what we heard here in Boston. And if it is true, Jay Feaster is a moron. Boston made a better offer than Pitt did.

In fact the Bruins lucked out. If they had Iginla instead of Bartkowski, they wouldn't have beaten the Leafs. Not because Iginla wouldn't have contributed, but because of all the injuries on D. In fact based on the first two games, I'd take Bartkowski over most of the Pens dmen.

It's so quiet in Pittsburgh you can hear Pierre weeping over his beloved Penguins.
 
Re: NHL Playoffs 2013: Shut up, Pierre...

The way the conference finals are unfolding the Stanley Cup Finals may begin by this weekend. If the Penguins have any hope at all of getting back into the series they must win game three in Boston. There's only one player who can prevent the Bruins from winning in such a critical game in the Garden: James Reimer.

Oh wat a beautiful game. We'll sweep the Penguins and then destroy whatever sacrificial lamb the West serves up. The Cup's coming home again! History will be made!

All that says is he was involved in the process. Nowhere does it say he chose Pittsburgh over Boston.

He also said "It wasn't fully my choice." So he had a little choice, but the final choice falls with Feaster.

Isn't that exactly what this says???
