Feel for the poor lone Swede with nobody to help him against the gang of mad Finns.

I laughed way harder at this than I should have. I think it means I need to stop reading old Austro-Hungarian newspapers.

Ditto. Inspirational story and by all accounts has fantastic character...and not a little bit of skill.
Fingers crossed that the burn/scar tissue is no longer hindering him.

I was going to make a joke about the shape of Penn Stater's skulls but I fear being set upon by a mob of angry alumni shouting "We Are"

Meh. I doubt the org's priorities based on some of the reported skating issues for our first 3 picks, but I'm behind the kid 100%. He's a Penguin now.
Hopefully most Pens fans feel that way.

DEVELOPMENT CAMP NOTEBOOK: Matt Murray makes a name for himself
Heres an article on Murray and Larmi. Really like Larmi's personality, super cheerful guy.

It is. Not a big deal. The core and legs strength will come.
His hands look pretty good.
I want to catch some more games. See his IQ.
He scored in the Prospects game. Jam play in front of the net.

Negging a player about his height for an entire interview is an interesting strategy, let's see if it pays off for the Pittsburgh media.

Larmi really is the Finnish MAF.
Murray: "I have to make a name for my self..... well my name is already taken."
I feel kinda bad for the kid. Everyone just wants to talk about his name instead of his ability. I hope it doesn't scare him off.

Kinda puff piece on Bellerive, but with some crucial info on that injury:
“There were a lot of painful nights and stuff like that that I dealt with, a lot of tightness in the skin, which kind of messed around with (shooting) accuracy and whatnot,” Bellerive said. “I definitely had to tweak my shot a little bit, shoot it a different way. After a lot of therapy so far this summer, I’m pretty confident it’s back to where it was before the incident, so I’m pretty happy with that.”

Poulin has been watching film of Sheary in anticipation of playing with Sid, I see.

Has there been any talk about how Lauzon looks out there? He's definitely someone I'm keeping an eye on now that I know he's not done with hockey. I'm really interested to see how he looks.
It's also good to see that D'Orio and Poulin stood out on day 1. I think there is an off chance that Poulin gets a 9 game sample in the NHL this year, he has a NHL ready size and he obviously has talent. I could see him force the Penguins hand like Staal forced their hand in 2006, especially if his end of season/playoff performance is what he is going forward. It's not unheard of for a mid 1st rounder forcing his way into a lineup the season after his draft, Nichushkin in 2013-2014 is probably the best comparable I can come up with for Poulin that did something like this.

'I thought my career was over:' Inside a Penguins prospect's...
Really, really nice read about Lauzon. Essentially he was going through a really hard time because of his injuries. The pens took him to the doctor that treated Sid's neck and footed the entire bill. Said he really appreciates the team caring for him and giving him a chance again at camp. Lauzon mentioned that hes 100% healthy for the first time in a while. He kept rushing back after injury but has learned his lesson. He's going to prioritize his life after hockey and isnt going to keep putting himself in danger. He wants to earn a contract this week but if it doesnt come, hes gonna go to U of NB.
