Don evidently very impressed with Brendan’s fight yesterday
“He understands his role with our club, and we’re glad to keep him in Raleigh for another season.”

We like to see it

Interesting timing. But if he’s comfortable in his role here, he isn’t a negative at all

Pepe the fighter

Great news! He was noticeable on the ice last night and I hope he plays on Tuesday!

This was not the extension I was expecting to see first, but he surpassed my admittedly low expectations, so happy to keep him another year.

If the embedded tweet is to be believed, his nickname is “Pepe” Lemieux. If that is true, I am 100% here for it, especially since Hockey nicknames are generally imaginative.

Love the guy he’s a warrior. I hope he will play the next 2 games.. the Rangers and Rempe and the Florida goon squad

Apparently Rod liked how he laid that guy out.

I mean we need an enforcer for next year and I guess that helps
packpride85
Good sign. Seems like he knows his playing time will be limited and is ok with that.

In yesterday’s GDT, I requested that we keep Lemieux. Wish granted, thanks Don!

No coincidence this is right after he beat the shit out of that guy yesterday.

love this dude. he’s just the kind of shithead we need
He’s very popular with the rest of the team. Aho loves the guy. Plus he plugs in seamlessly and never gives up the bad turnover.

I feel like he’s got a really nice moment in him every game, whether a sneaky good offensive play or putting some guy’s face in the ice. He’s not playing enough to expose his likely weaknesses, and I’m happy he’s happy being in that role, I’ve been nothing but impressed every time he does play.

Honestly? He plays hard and has been a better hockey pickup than I expected. I never believed we were an asshole that will crosscheck someone after the whistle away from playing for the Cup, but I do like the compete and I’m not mad about another year.

Cheap bottom 6 deal that can be buried in the AHL no problem. Easy contract

Someone call Pachal back to Raleigh so Guentzel can kick his ass and sign an extension like Lemiuex did 😳

I’m guessing a basically minimum deal for the 13th forward? I like the additional grease and agitation he brings, and seems like he’s accepted his role and fit in well, been ready when called upon and needed

bro literally « fought » for an extension💀

They need to keep a guy like this around. Remember when Staal got sat on in the NYI playoff series?

Glad to see my birthday buddy for another year!

Mans really whooped an ass straight to an extension. Respect

This is awesome, I absolutely love the fire he brings every time he comes off the bench. He meshes so well with this team.
