WBS Penguins 2017-18 Season Thread: Pens out in first round, black aces are up

[Honour Over Glory]

I'm fine if JR wants a number 3 guy behind Murray and Jarry, but don't go getting another back up unless the plan is to call Jarry up when the actual back up games are played. The kid has earned his spot.

I maybe get a veteran for the ahl to back up or split with desmith at best but that's it.

WBS down 2-1 atm. Sprong with the lone goal assisted by Dea.

Baby Pens suck lately.

Baby Pens suck lately.

We took their goalies, now they gotta rely on whoever they picked up.

Looks like Maguire is back at least. I just am not a fan of Donatelli. I feel like that was a lazy hire, especially for probably the most coveted AHL head coaching spot.

Good shot on a pass (if it even was a pass) that wasn't in his wheel house.

LOL at Sully for thinking his lineup wouldn't be better with Sprong in it. ha ha

Let’s just hope Guerin isn’t given the steering wheel at the trade deadline this year

How has Blueger looked? I was impressed by him in the rookie camp or whatever it is called, but haven’t heard much about him. He got beaten out of a spot by McKegg in preseason. I think Rowney looks a lot better than Mckegg. I realize this post jumps all over the place

I’m not sure he’d do any worse than those who decided it’d be a good idea to let half of the team leave via free agency this summer and replace them with AHL players.

Define "half."

You might change your mind when he trades sprong for Troy
Browser because of sprongs recreational pot issue

Outside of the goalie thing, Wilkes has hit a bit of dry spell and should be scoring alot more than they have been. This was the first game with a half decent goaltender in awhile tho so maybe Maguire sparks them a bit.

What's up with McKegg and Simon swap?

What's up with McKegg and Simon swap?

Needing a 4LW. Mangement must like Simon better than McKeeg on the wing(which I also agree with)

In the barn at Hershey tonight. We'll see how it goes.

Keep us updated! Especially about Sprong and his 5v5/defensive play!

Quinney is scratched. Looks like a goose egg for Spronger tonight.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Spring just kind of stands there at the blue line when Hershey is in the offensive zone, so far.

Thomas wide open, 1-0 WBS

Yeah I would have liked a better developmental coach there, a guy that can inspire the players to play up to their potential. The creepy uncle joke aside, I don't think he was a good hire when he was promoted either.
