That was fuckin filthy by the big fella.
He honestly has some skills. Continues to surprise me.
Looks like rak is out and koivunen is back. Although the top line was starting to put up some points I think overall they’ve been struggling. See how this affects things.
Wilkes is killing it again. Another shutty for Murashov. Danton Heinen leading the league in points. Only two teams have less GA and both of them have only played 3 games to our 6. Would love to get rid of the vets and get some more prospects on the team though, damn college kids.
I feel like reichel is a good reclamation project for a 4th rounder. Chinakhov could be worth giving a shot. Our 4th line is getting caved in pretty good most nights, could be a good young project. Would prefer an acciari replacement though.
My guess would be that McG starts in the A regardless just to get his legs I’ll see him. Especially that the team is doing well. Jarry did look good tonight. Nice highlite scorpion save. Maybe playing every other night with silovs will keep them both fresh and in competition with each other.
Ever notice than we had Dan bylsma as coach. Then Dan got fired and we hired the first Mike. But he was terrible so we hired another Mike. And now that Mike is fired and we are back to a Dan again.
Beauty of a give and go by Kindel and Novak. I suppose he could stick around. Would love to see them upgrade from hallander to a legit scoring winger for kindel. Maybe next years 1st rounder?
Zam Plante is having a real good year down in the ncaa. 2nd highest scoring line in the ncaa. No big name line mates either to carry them. Looking good for a 5th round pick. I was watching the Detroit game and they have a 20 year old rookie from the 7th round killing it. Of course he’s on the top line LW with Larkin and Raymond which helps. He was well over a ppg his last year in juniors so I’m curious as to why he was a 7th round pick. But good development and supporting cast could really make some of our picks playable. If we have good linemates though is a big factor haha
Yohe was on the radio earlier today saying the Pens are leaning towards keeping Brunicke and Kindel. I don’t know if it’s the right move long term, but you can’t say they haven’t earned it. I saw Horcoff is having a nice start at Michigan
Yeah idk. I’m sure the pros will do what’s best. Being drafted gives them a pro developmental team to work with them so the easier schedule can allow them to bulk up, work on a lot of things. But if they can play in the nhl then why go down. A year with Sid and letang showing them how to condition, train, intensity, practice, could be a hell of a lot better.
Horcoff got off to a blazing start but I think 4 of 5 goals, or possibly all 5, came against a terrible team they beat overall like 18-1 or something over 2 games. Been quiet ever since.

I’m surprised by a few things. The Brazeau experiment is still going. I thought it would flop immediately and he would end up on the 4th line. After his hot start I figured by game 5 it would taper off. If anything Mantha is starting to roll a bit.
Kindel’s line has very impressive analytically and in actual gf vs ga they are doing alright. Not sure who is the Xfactor on that line but I would like to see mcgroats on the 3rd line LW once returned, after probably a stint in the A to get him up to game speed. Maybe McG – Kindel – A Hayes at some point.
I would love to see some success for Jarry. If we could snag a couple solid defensive D men to balance out the right side I’d say we’ve got a solid shot at the playoffs and possibly sqeaking out a round depending on the matchup, team health, etc
I live in the west (and have no children) and they are brutal
Isn’t that a normal 7:30PM start for you? Hahaha.
What I love about being a pens fan from the west is the games usually start at 5:00 for me. I think the flames games are usually 7:30/8:00 or something like that at home but I usually only watch one a year when Pitt is in town.
Too much trash in wbs. We have an abundance of everything, just nothing good. Graves, aho, alexeyev, Pickering, latsch are all LD. Alexeyev was a pointless signing and aho is a waste of space and prob should have been sent down instead.
That being said they are 4-0 to start the year.
