Injury Report: 16-17 Vol. 1 (Updates in 1st Post) | Kunitz Week-to-Week

[GregR]

Which play concussed Hornqvist? That really sucks and I hope the guy recovers fully.

I assume that dirty and unpenalized crosscheck into the goal post by Niskanen in the first period.

 

[ColePens]

Crappy games with injuries? Shocker. It's never just a crappy game.

 

[Shrimper]

Up comes Guentzel, hopefully.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Back to familiar territory.

They better not rush either back and that's not me wanting Kunitz out. He's old, let him fully recover instead of hobbling around at 50% and he can rest.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Hornqvist's concussion most likely:

Hoping this is Guentzel's time.

 

[Jacob]

Yeah I thought that puck hit him in the dome.

 

[Corvidae]

Up comes Guentzel Porter, hopefully probably.

Fixt

 

[Jacob]

I hope we see Guentzel and Sundqvist.

Sundqvist is hot right now.

 

[SEALBound]

Hopefully Horny will be okay soon and Kunitz's leg fell off.

 

[SEALBound]

I hope we see Guentzel and Sundqvist.

Sundqvist is hot right now.

Agreed.

I just have no idea who takes the RW spot with Sid.

Sheary-Sid-Kessel
Guentz-Geno-Rust
Hags-Bones-Wilson
Kuhn-Cully-Fehr

?

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Fixt

Barf.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I wanted Hornqvist to get some rest at some point because of the way he plays but not by a concussion, like a day to day thing at worst, but not this sort of day to day bs. As for Kunitz, meh, I feel bad saying that but him sitting is a good thing for the line-up.

I am hoping Guentzel is called up, so at last that LW is covered.

What would be the options?

Guentzel, Crosby, Sheary
Kuhnhackl/Sundqvist/Wilson, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Kessel
Sestito, Cullen, Fehr

Guentzel, Crosby, Sheary
Cullen, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Kessel
Wilson, Fehr, Kuhnhackl

 

[Mr. T]

Barf.

Somebody needs to be a healthy scratch. Better him than someone with potential.

Call up Guentzel to play and Porter to sit.

 

[Fordy]

you can really see how effective sestito is. he keeps them safe

 

[DesertPenguin]

Wilson and Kuhnhackl have been sitting lately, so you have to expect they will be reinserted in the lineup and given a chance to get going. Sestito is on waivers today, so count him out. That means someone has to be called up. Since we are down two wingers and still have Fehr as the emergency center, I'll assume its Guentzel.

I'll also assume that Sully isn't going to throw Guentzel into the deep end by pairing him with Sid or Geno in his first pro game, though if he sticks for a while I'd like to see that. Also, HBK didn't show much last game, so this is probably a good time to split that up again to feed Sid and Geno.

Hagelin - Crosby - Sheary
Wilson - Malkin - Kessel
Guentzel - Bonino - Rust
Kuhnhackl - Cullen - Fehr

Edit: It would also be cool for a shift or two to see the Mega-Powers Part Deux: Malkin - Crosby - Kessel

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

That really sucks about Hornqvist. Hopefully it doesn't keep him out for longer than the bare minimum.

The Pens really do have the worst injury luck in the league. It's not just the number of injuries, but the types of injuries and which players seem to get them.

 

[Will Hunting]

CROSBY + KESSEL hopefully... Finally a time to try it.

 

[Pancakes]

It's a miracle Hornqvist hasn't suffered more injuries with his style of play. The sad truth is the way he plays his body will start breaking down probably sooner than later.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

CROSBY + KESSEL hopefully... Finally a time to try it.

I ****ing wish.


Wilson, Crosby, Kessel
Sheary, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Fehr
Kuhnhackl, Cullen, Mel Gibson in Payback.

 

[Cherpak]

I ****ing wish.


Wilson, Crosby, Kessel
Sheary, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Fehr
Kuhnhackl, Cullen, Mel Gibson in Payback.

Wilson has done nothing to be on that line.

 

[SEALBound]

I ****ing wish.


Wilson, Crosby, Kessel
Sheary, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Fehr
Kuhnhackl, Cullen, Mel Gibson in Payback.

Sorry but I don't like any of those lines.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Sorry but I don't like any of those lines.

Neither do I.

Sheary, Crosby, Cullen
Wilson, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Kessel <----They will have to carry them a bit.
Kuhnhackl, Fehr, Rowney <---Why not...

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Neither do I.

Sheary, Crosby, Cullen
Wilson, Malkin, Rust
Hagelin, Bonino, Kessel <----They will have to carry them a bit.
Kuhnhackl, Fehr, Rowney <---Why not...

Sorry but I don't like any of those lines.

Quoted out of order on purpose.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I'd like to see if Sheary and Wilson can rekindle their chemistry from last year, but with Sid:

Wilson - Crosby - Sheary
Guentzel - Malkin - Rust
Hagelin - Bones - Kessel
Kuhnhackl - Cullen - Fehr

 

[mpp9]

As long as you have Guentzel, if he's called up, with 87 or 71, I'm cool.
