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

[Allie Kitsune]

Hershey has spent most of the second in WBS' zone so far this period.

 

[PensandCaps]

Same. I would like to sign JVR/Kane this offseason.

Lol JVR is a power winger? Haha.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Corrado called for hooking.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Dea seems to get a lot of ice time.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Sprong actually bowled a Hershey player over. That may never happen again.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

3rd period starting.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

3-on-1, Archi chest-snipes.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Neither team has been really establishing themselves in the offensive zone tonight.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Sully just tweeted "SMH at goals, Daniel needs to pick up 200ft game if he ever wants to see the Burgh in winter".

ouch

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Another 5 on 3 for WBS

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Trotman from the top, 4-1 WBS

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Dea had a step on everyone, but tried to wait for Trotman, got nothing. Then Blueger whiffed on a setup from Archi a shift later.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Hershey can't stay out of the box.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

4-1 WBS Final

 

[Allie Kitsune]

18 saves for Maguire.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Two points (1+1) for Sprong.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

3 Stars

3 Colin Smith
2 Thomas DiPauli
1 Daniel Sprong

Reasonably excited about DiPauli. Bryan Rusts don’t grow on trees but if he could be even a poor man’s Rust that’d be huge.

 

[Ryder71]

Glad to hear that Sprong had a strong game.

 

[Ryder71]

What's up with ZAR? It seems like he's not progressing much at all.

He pretty much had a nothing game, was barely noticeable at all except for a couple moments in the 3rd.

I haven't seen him play, but from what you said and others have stated previously, he seems like a pretty big disappointment. There were rumblings he might make the team out of camp. This is a far cry from that.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Reasonably excited about DiPauli. Bryan Rusts don’t grow on trees but if he could be even a poor man’s Rust that’d be huge.

He's a lot like Rust, right up to the tunnel vision as well. Sometimes he has off the horse blinders and makes a sweet pass like Rust, or a beautiful dangle, etc.

I doubt we will be lucky enough that he has the clutch factor Rust showed the last couple years, but he should be an energy guy fans really like.

DiPauli seemed to be getting to the front of the net a lot tonight, which is what I was more expecting ZAR to be doing.

He's just a good all around player that doesn't dazzle you every time he touches the puck, but you still notice him.

I think that's the best way to describe him.
