Pre-Game Talk: All Purpose Off Day Thread | Ruhwedel to W-B/S for Conditioning

'Fun' stat of the day -

The PP has conceded more goals than the PK in the last 8 games.

400% more to be precise.

You may want to check your math. If I'm not mistaken, Pens have allowed two PP goals and four SHGs in the last 8 games. Agree with your general thesis though, 4 is mo' bigga' than 2...

Try Oleksiak as a 4th line winger. He skates well has a big shot and imagine him going to the net. Also his defensive assignments would be way easier and less costly if he makes a mistake.

He looks like a guy that could transition well.

I think the Stars played him as a winger before when they had a bunch of injuries. I agree that it's worth a shot, even if only to rotate some of our defensemen in out of the press box.

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Oh no we're talking about trying defensemen at forward again.........

 

[FlightlessBird]

Not complaining, Pens still have the best fans and board around. If anyone has a copy of that Ian Cole tribute..would love to see it. I can't imagine many teams doing that for a player around for such a short time.

To be fair, he did win two Cups with the team. Also, the Pens have a video tribute for like every player that comes back.

Didn't Hainsey get a tribute video? Personally can't wait for Sprong's.

Thanks for that!

The entire video package will be of him sitting on the bench with Sullivan glowering behind him.

Natural Stat Trick said 1 but maybe I had it set to 5v4 and there was a 5 on 3 I missed

edit: No, the source still says 1 - Team Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

someone with mad photoshop skills should go get the video parody of Trump hovering behind hillary during the debate, and substitue the faces for sullivan and sprong...

I had no idea we even got Dea back. I liked his potential before so I hope he does well.

I think he even scored a goal for NJ while he was there. I follow him on instagram as well as Letang (and a ton others) and from what i've seen the frenchies on our team seem to be really good friends with him. They go to concerts and shit at consol, its cool.

 

[Ogrezilla]

But we’ve got a potential, maybe, possibly someday number 4 D!!!

And we gave up a potential, maybe, possibly tip 6 wing.

Scored 3 goals in his first 4 games there.

Thats pretty damn rad actually

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I don't get it, so they got him back to assign him to WBS, instead of calling up a winger that can go back through waivers and has been doing well for us in WBS, we call up Dea, who when we send back down, will get claimed again maybe.

Why do we even have youth in the AHL that do well if they don't get a chance?

[Tom Hanks]

Just saw this from the Av’s game. They sure brought the heat in front.

I’m pretty sure he can play 9 nine games and still not have to go thru waivers....Simon won’t be out that long reportedly...

I had no idea that was even a rule.

 

[Tom Hanks]

I had no idea that was even a rule.

Yeah I think there is a cap on games or days, whichever comes first. I wanna say 30 days?

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s likely why they picked him back up.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah it's like consecutive days or some crap.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Where's the pie charts?

Don't mail it in, mate. I need a bar graph of the pie charts that you will use for the Venn diagram that explains this all.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Great view




Is Dumo ok at faceoffs or is Jake just bad?

That’s a great view of 87’s goal
