They are playing in today’s scrimmage

Is Bjorkqvist the new guy who gets a call up because he's a good team/locker room guy and has paid his dues? He didn't do much in training camp and his stats suck, but maybe I'm missing something because I don't actually watch much in the way of AHL games.

I'd be interested to know why he's called up too, I know he bosses the physical tests but this is the NHL not Mr Olympia.

He’ll drill Geno in practice and then lose in a fight to the angry Russian......coffee time

I mean, they may know he's not going to play in a real game and are just giving him some practice time with the big team for shits and grins cause he's been around for awhile, but I'm not sure what that says to the other dudes down there who appear to be having better seasons. Whatever. Not going to lose sleep over it.

 

[Gurglesons]

I imagine they are calling up Bjorkqvist because he’s at an age where missing games isn’t as detrimental to his development as it is other players.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Prediction, if Bjorkqvist suits up for a game. He's gonna turn out to be loved instantly. I just have a feelin

 

[dogthateats]

I’m surprised Bjorkqvist didn’t get injured in today’s scrimmage

Little known fact: call-ups are based exclusively on pelvic thrusts.

No more Pens hockey this year. Great...

He's missed a ton of gametime compared to his peers though and POJ is in a boat where maybe it does matter so I'm not sure how much that bothers them.

My guess is they trust Bjorkqvist to step in and make minimal mistakes more than the other forwards available.

Who needs hockey? Tonight West Virginia plays in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. It doesn't get better. At least College Football is the last pure sport, in terms of televised team sports. It will be epic.

I think I'll run another stream of an old Pens game. Likely the 5 goals 5 ways.

Honestly I think it would be cool to just play a completely random regular season game. I usually go to bed listening to sport games and a Penguins-Thrashers game from 2008 came on that I thoroughly enjoyed.

There's a ton of those kind of games on YouTube. I personally like listening to 2000-2004 Penguins games.

Pens went an entire month only allowing 1 powerplay goal against, not bad.

As the only member of the Kasper booster club, I hate all of you non Bjorklievers.

He's got 5 points in 28 games for Wilkes all time. Turns 25 in July.
He has not made me a Bjorkliever.

Trust Sully will give him top line minutes over DoC. The plug shall plug pluggers in his own plug image.

Kasper has had a rough go. He missed basically a season because of injuries. Then covid hasn't helped and the coaching staff in wbs is pretty shit for actual development.

Hasn't been easy the last few years for sure, but I honestly don't see much there to begin with.

The last stream I did was a random Pens Flyers game where Kovalev had a hat trick (even strength, shorty, and PP). It was also a game where Jagr was ignoring and mouthing off to Hlinka.


Also, when should I do that 5-goals-5-ways stream?

 

[Andy99]

Great…let’s hope a lot of other guys are back for Sunday’s game lol…
