High Times — Pens WIN 4-3 (OT)

That Adam Johnson to Blueger goal was very pretty.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Sounds like Blueger is on a hot streak.

 

[OscarsCards]

Go on Teddy boy, score some goals!

I really think we've got some potential solid bottom 6 C's with DiPauli and Blueger moving forward. Been to a handful of WB's games the past 2 years and they impress the hell out of me.

I mean theres a reason JR thought Wilson, Archie were expendable. He probably has some faith in the Simon's(and maybe Sprong's but he's more top 6 middle 6), DiPauli's, ZAR's and maybe the Tiffel's, Lafferty's, Bjorkqvist's, Angello's, Pavlychev's, Olund's, Miletic's and Bellerive's/Drozg's after that.

We'll see how it pans out but if i'm one of those guys right now, now is my shot. As in this season + immediate future. Show your stuff(more to the Wilkes guys+20 yr olds playing elsewhere).



Sprong's back into a dry spell it seems. The Quinney-Sprong thing has dried up completely.

Do we have enough roster spots to call up a whole Baby Pens line?

Do we have enough roster spots to call up a whole Baby Pens line?

No. However, if enough people go on IR, yes.

No. However, if enough people go on IR, yes.

What's Bobby Farnham up to these days? at least he has a pulse compared to the current 4th line

Think he's playing for Springfield with one Blaine Byron.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I put it in the roster thread but maybe better here. Can ZAR be the heavy guy for Phil and Geno? Is he a chance to be good enough this year or does he need more development or is he a different fit altogether?

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Quinney(1+1) and Sprong(0+2) with 2 pts each. Johnson with a goal.

Dry spell over for Sprong. Now JR makes some trades and bring him up.

 

[Pens x]

Sprong doesn’t have the intangibles that Kuhnhackl possesses. What are those intangibles? Only Sullivan sees them.

If Rust is out then Sprong might get called up anyway.

 

[Andy99]

If Rust is out then Sprong might get called up anyway.

Hopefully. But I bet you anything if Rust is out and Di Pauli is back, he gets the call up...just the way Sullivan speaks about Sprong. ...

I'll be honest. I can't watch games this season. The source i had is gone which sucks but...
I'll just say ZAR probably tracks out to being a banger type bottom 6 winger if he can comfortably handle the pace of the NHL.

DiPauli is still out with an UBI it seems...

 

[DegenX]

 

[Shaffer]

No goalie for you, Wilkes!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sebastien Caron, now that is a name I haven't heard in years. They should give JS Aubin and Andy Chiodo a call next.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Martin Brochu

 

[ImporterExporter]

What the hell is Johan Hedberg up to?

 

[Jacob]

I think he's a goalie coach somewhere. New Jersey? San Jose?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

It turns out Michael Leighton is literally good for nothing.

 

[Beauner]

I'll be at the game tonight. Will post any relevant musings/observations.

San Jose, NHL.com interviewed him when we played them in the finals i believe

 

[Beauner]

On a delayed penalty Sprong ripped one from the point that was redirected by smith.
