I gotta say… Those experts who said Kindel can’t skate look like fools. He’s not Mackinnon or anything, but he’s plenty fast enough.
His hockey IQ and vision more than make up for the half step of speed he may be lacking. He’s probably the smartest teen I’ve seen since…his current linemate.
I’m here Pags66. Way to F us like that hahaha
Pens played a perfect f’n game of hockey for 40 mins. Sucks to lose that one but I do think this team has a different feel to it, for sure, and they will learn from this. Jarry had to save a few of those. If he does, Pens win.
Not my fault tonight, I refrained from posting a damn thing after last game haha.

Rak injury hurts us but where we are in the timeline we shouldn’t be going out searching for wings. This team is going to do what it can do. Dubas won’t get in the way of success if the team finds it but he’s not going to go all in on this season either.
Agree with this. We are still sellers. If Geno doesn’t come back that is a massive hole to fill which trickle down the lineup at centre. Or maybe he comes back and falls off a cliff. Sid is getting older. We have eff all for real wingers. Rust and rak when healthy. Maybe Brazeau/mantha. Realistically at would rank the Crosby line as an elite 2nd line propped up a bit by Sid. Genos line a 3rd line. So find an entire first line, piece together a 4th out of the leftovers, 2 elite LD and I’d say we have a shot. Otherwise stick with the plan and rebuild. No finding wings.
Man I’m over caffeinated today.

Dumba-BrunickeInteresting line shuffle. Koi isn’t scoring but the kindel line was absolutely crushing it as a whole. I noticed Sid and malkin together a lot last game as well. Hallander can’t hack the first line. Rust is doing well while coming back from injury, hopefully he’s got another gear. But man the e last couple years Sid’s line has been giving up a ton of GA it seems.
Heinen is the ahl point leader and he deserves the call. As much as I want little Hayes RW or broz, hopefully Heinen earns himself a trade followed by big Hayes. Acciari can ride the pine pony for the rest of the year I suppose.
Pens need wings. Rust is fading. Rak out another 6+ weeks. Koiv isn’t doing much. Hallander isn’t top 6. Unfortunately we had to call up Heinen instead of a young prospect. I’d rather see Avery Hayes get a look.
Rust has 11 points in 12 games, scoring at a top line rate per 60 at 5 on 5, and still a relative play driver although he’s fallen off in that category. Hes having some trouble coming across goals right now but that’s a sample size issue. No hes not in his prime anymore but he’s still a dude.

First two periods were great. Even the post-game whipping boys of Pickering and Brunike looked good through the first two frames and then just ate shit in the final frame.
That said they’ve both earned a demotion.
Pickering might just not be very good but we need to keep giving him looks this year to make sure. Send him down to the A and let him work towards the next promotion to see if he can get his head on right.
Brunike didn’t pass the test this year. Really what he needs is the AHL but that’s not in the cards unfortunately. Gotta send him down to minors as shitty as it is. He’s not ready
