[Gurglesons]

A big test for this squad.

 

[EightyOne]

Lol @Ugene Malkin

 

[Tom Hanks]

Baby head clap

 

[Return of the Paek]

Malkin hat trick incoming...

 

[Andy99]

Question: does Studnicka truly live up to his name?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Boston has had our number pretty bad for a while. Believe 13 of last 20 have gone their way, if I’m not mistaken. Going to be a tough one.

 

[Pens x]

This will be a good test for the Pens. You can beat the Rags when you play lousy.

We aren’t handicapping ourselves anymore with a certain AHL player on the top line. I expect the top line to continue to produce without the anchor.

Let’s hold them to two goals tonight.

Sweet...

In the games I’ve watched he has been an effective bottom sixer.

 

[Andy99]

In the games I’ve watched he has been an effective bottom sixer.

then the answer is no I guess...that’s what I thought

 

[Flying Dego]

I'll be disheartened if DOC is slow and behind the play. Would be such a pleasant surprise if he's a physical player that can keep up the pace.

 

[SEALBound]

Will be a fun game just to see how DOC does and how the new lines work out. Very winnable.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

According to this source: Penguins face Bruins while eyeing fifth straight win - Sports Illustrated , we're 6-6 in our last 12. I believe we tend to lose in Boston but win in Pittsburgh.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Please don't have O'Conner be another ZAR, one ZAR is a ZAR too many.

 

[PensandCaps]

then the answer is no I guess...that’s what I thought

Hes played 6 NHL games lol. He's higly skilled. Time will tell.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I'll be disheartened if DOC is slow and behind the play. Would be such a pleasant surprise if he's a physical player that can keep up the pace.

Posters who watched him in scrimmages claim he can skate, but I’ll just assume he’s a plodder until I see him with my own eyes.

 

[Darren McCord]

Excited to have 2 rookies in the lineup. Even if they suck, it will be fun to see new faces trying to prove they deserve a spot. hopefully it brings some extra energy

 

[Gurglesons]

We can say a lot about you Jiggy, but you are consistent.

If we follow the trends of young players being inserted into the roster this year, Riikola, POJ, hopefully DOC can be an impact player on that 4th line.

 

[Flying Dego]

Posters who watched him in scrimmages claim he can skate, but I’ll just assume he’s a plodder until I see him with my own eyes.

Cautiously optimistic...we know that Lafferty looks like a high end wing in scrimmages. So let's hope he can play in a real game.

I think DOC looked like less of spaz in the scrimmages and practices I saw.

Penguins: Video breakdown of what Drew O’Connor brings to the table

Here is a fun article that got me high on him earlier last year.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'll probably eat these words, but this Bruins team doesn't scare me too much. Pasta still out of the lineup. No Krug or Chara anymore. Bergeron and Kreji are aging just like our Cs are. I think win or lose tonight is more about whether the Pens show up than what Boston can do.

 

[LOGiK]

Are the baby steps going in the wrong direction?
