I’m turning into a big Dubas fan. He hit the Jarry trade out of the park. Jarry would be a great in a 1a/1b situation, but he’s never shown to be a true #1 tender. He’s had good streaks which were usually followed by an injury and some bad streaks. Agree entirely on the flips of Kulak and Skinner. The Pens will likely get three pretty good assets out of a shaky goal tender that most thought was a buy-out candidate.
It’s a shame the buzz crew didn’t really make it here. Only a handful. Ek really burned that place to the ground. I’m still popping in from time to time, but they need to consolidate the forum/comment section with the main page. Anyway, there’s been some reporting in Pittsburgh that McG looks like a different player this year. His skating is stronger. Also, he won’t be spending much time in the AHL. They intend to bring him up pretty quickly. Hopefully he sticks because this team needs wings….badly.
I thought the Pens started to wear down in the third, but the bugaboo of blowing 3rd period leads has returned from last year. The depth at wing is noticeable without Rak and Braz. Koiv still can’t find the net. This is turning into a much more interesting year than I thought. Seems like the team has the fortitude to compete every night. Just missing a two or three parts to make it a real playoff team.
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.
Thought we were going to blow another one. Kept hitting the post all night and couldn’t put them away.
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.
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.
I wish Grinder was here to tell me why Ben Kindel sucks.
Lol…just reuse any of the plethora of reasons why Geno or Jake suck.
I’m overjoyed to admit I was dead f’n wrong about that pick. Whoever scouted Kindel and talked us into taking him absolutely nailed it. Kid is gonna be special.
Anyone else feel like we’re playing last year’s Pens in Blue jerseys tonight. Man the Leafs look dead and buried.
Yes! Although they haven’t given us 10 odd-man breaks. They look like a team whose window has closed.
I wish Grinder was here to tell me why Ben Kindel sucks.
This kid is the real deal. Dubas stole him in the draft. Get him a real winger.
Sick goal. Sounds like McG will be heading to WB when he’s healthy which makes sense. Hopefully they Have McG, Koiv and Kindel all getting full time roles at some point this season.
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
Háase reports Emil was cut from wbs training camp and sent to wheeling. He never showed up. Apparently his exact physical whereabouts are unknown by the team.
That sucks as he seemed a promising D prospect. Suppose obviously not if he didn’t make the baby pens but these cupboards are so damn bare we need something lol
What stiff in WB were they keeping over Emil? I saw Aho is still down there.
I have to laugh… Sheary on the top line is soooooo Sully. He tortured us in Pittsburgh with Sheary in the top 6.
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.
LD is a disaster. Really concerning that Pickering didn’t make the team. I can’t believe Jones made the squad over Pickering. He blows.
Boyd described the changes better than I could. From my untrained eyes (in the first two games), they played a tighter checking game with a ton of puck support.
Then… The last couple of games, the muscle memory kicked in and they were back to trading chances with suspect goal tending. Almost night and day between the first two games and the last two. I don’t think this team has the legs (or will) to play how Muse wants them to play. The home opener against the Rags was comical.
Penguins really have something with Kindel and Brunicke.
