Haha victoro! Well a bottom 6 goal and a few points for ek. Nice for a change. I’d like to get some youth learning from Sid. Hope dubas is working the phones and we have a good draft.

I like Lizotte but otherwise every bottom 6 and everyone in the pressbox that’s a forward can go away. Hopefully some of these prospects other than kindel work out. I think the cupboards are pretty damn bare still. EK better start killing it if he hopes to get half retained to go to a contender.

2 goals out of the bottom 6 won’t get them far. (Kindel and Lizotte) a bigger surprise is both letang and ek have 0 points so far. I was concerned we would end up in no man’s land again at seasons end drafting 12-15th. Still early but looks like the real pens are showing up and maybe we will draft better than anticipated lol. Eventually brazaue will cool off too I imagine lol

Thanks jboyd. Whatever the expression is about peg in a hole. Diff players, diff styles, diff needs. Hopefully we start to trade/draft as a team to fill out those stylistic needs and start to gel. I don’t understand how gm’s can’t see that. This one Dman will fix our all offense/no defence style or vice versa. Silly geese!

Well kindel seems to be on the same plan. Boxscore bob here looked at his analytics and they’re actually quite impressive with his mediocre RW and loser of a LW. I would love for him to get Mcgroats, Hayes (Avery), Broz, or some other young feisty kids instead of Novak. Tomasino looked good last year with Malkin so maybe he’s ok.

If muse can do anything with this D corps I’d be impressed. Hopefully we can pick up a young dman from a crowded blue line. Anaheim is a defensive master at drafting. Anyone will be happy to leave buffalo, Montreal might be a bit crowded? With Dobson and Hutson not much room for reinbacher although he seems to be injured often. If Pickering can’t force his way on to the team with this LD that’s not a good sign.

[10inchterror]

Man, these teams that have their whole cores locked up like Montreal are gonna be laughing the way this cap is jumping. Hutson for 8m is gonna be a steal. NJ too. Dallas and Edmonton getting bailed out huge.

I’m guessing there is a year long plan for brunicke and a 9 game long plan for kindel. Give him a taster of 9 games, send him down to juniors where he can be more focused on drills, skills, and the gym. Bulk up, get faster, come back next year with 3 years on his contracts still.

Rusty razor is back tonight. That will really boost the top line as well as the pk. Koivunen back to the A. I thought he would have bumped down to the 3rd line and Novak would get bumped. Guess koivunen was either too disappointing or they are trying to keep certain styles of play on each line.

I don’t think koi will mesh well with Sid as he is a playmaker also. We seem to have a lot of playmakers. Maybe someone needs to get traded for a sniper or grinder who can finisher.

I hate the floating penguin. I wish the triangle was still there. That’s my only gripe. I think I would have preferred 3 stripes on the socks too instead of the single thick stripe.

Agreed on the socks. I wonder how the normal black would look with yellow lids and socks. We’ve had some damn good jerseys though. I love that black .. I think 2019 stadium series that said Pitt in the what I’m assuming is the state of Pennsylvania outline. The diagonal Pittsburgh I like. Would love to see the jersey with the grey swoosh things though

[10inchterror]

I liked everything about the jerseys. The black arm stripes, different font. The ‘floating penguin’ look with the triangle gone. I just would have went with black buckets.

[10inchterror]

What would be your guys thoughts on doing something like I believe Anaheim and … someone else did and limit kindel and brunicke some games to allow them rest and more time for bulking up? Or just play him till the wheels fall off?

If we are close to a wild card spot I’d say maybe go hard but I’d think at any bit of wear and tear I would rest them for a road trip or a few games. Help keep the penguins injury curse away from them.

Somewhere Grinder is drinking Busch light and smiling ear to ear after beating Sullivan like that to open the season

I foresee him at HB just chilling there wondering where everyone is haha

[10inchterror]

It’s only one game but if they can play like that they will be a team that’s a pain in the ass. Even if they end up last in the conference it feels like they are working toward an identity and certain way of playing. Basically doing what sully preached.

I think putting graves in the A and starting Silovs if anything is showing people have to earn a spot. Letang is my boy but I would say anyone other than Sid should be benched for a night if they deserve it. Some of those old dogs could honestly probably use an extra break in the second half of the season.

Hopefully we put some of those righty’s on the left side or find something to shore it up a bit as the season goes on.

As much as I want the best chance at mckenna and DuPont I love seeing the pens win! If we do suck all year hopefully we can at least go undefeated in the metro and lose everywhere else haha

First shot of year/game saved. Good start so far
