Pre-Game Talk: Bolts @ Pens - Saturday @ 1PM

[Tasty Biscuits]

Ugh. Pyatt's back in then.

This makes me sad.

 

[Sideline]

if you're in Toronto, apparently the next segment on 1050 is skewering "the most undisciplined team I've ever watched, ever." and "Marc-Andre Fleury who is in full playoff bloom." And, "I look at this roster and after Crosby and Malkin, there is not one person on this team who scares me."

I don't know which team they are talking about or why, but it sounds like it'll be a great conversation!

false advertising anyhow, they're talking soccer/football. I feel robbed

... please just play Engelland, Bylsma, please.

Bylsma doesn't seem as favouring of Engelland as he once did, probably because Engelland can be useful.

I only remember that Toronto has a soccer team because of the annoying Jermaine Defoe ads that TSN has constantly running. False advertising was the only way that they would get listeners.

Shelly Anderson @pgshelly

B.Bennett on prospect of playing in AHL: If that’s the case, I’m excited. I’m just excited to play some games and get back into some action.


My legs feel as good as they’ve ever felt. I’ve never had three months of just bag skating

Hands are coming along. My shot is not where I want it to be, but I still feel pretty comfortable [on ice].

 

[Fordy]

there's no reason for beau to go to wbs. just ****ing play him. he's fine

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Bylsma must be so happy right now.

 

[Ally22]

...AHL? Is this real life? Why would that even be a remote chance of a thing!?!?!

Yeah, throw a guy who has been injured for two significant periods, hasn't played in months, and by his own admission isn't where he wants to be right back into the NHL during the stretch. Brilliant.

Is this for real?

"For Despres? Hmmm I was thinking the same thing." *Nods in agreement.

They are discussing it again now, but all of these things are being discussed right now.

Neal and Jokinen getting killed

No harm in doing it. Give him some conditioning to see if he's ready and with only 13 or so games left no need to rush him through.

 

[Fordy]

He said his shot isn't as good as he'd like. Not that his wrist is going to break if he trips in the locker room. He's had two practices. He's cleared for contact. That's as much as a Kunitz or Neal would have before coming back. The only reason he's not playing Saturday, or even Wednesday, is that he's a rookie to Bylsma still. He was targeting a return earlier this week and now he has to play "a few" games in WBS? Why isn't one enough? Those games are as physical as any 1 PM weekend game.

This is ridiculous.

He said his legs are fine. He's been skating for 3 months. There's 13 games left. That's the perfect reason to rush him back so he can, of course, re-prove himself to Bylsma as he'll be required to.

Touche, or replace Bortuzzo with Engelland and watch Despres have to adapt until blaming him for something and never playing him again.

It's a typical conditioning stint. It makes total sense.

 

[Tumty]

Im starting to believe that Sid is hurt. Maybe some small injury?

This is Toronto 1050? These guys have podcasts I have to listen to this.

What are they saying exactly? Any Bylsma stuff?

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Those are typically for players with lower-body or head injuries, where they couldn't work out, hence "out-of-shape," hence "conditioning" stint. He obviously doesn't have that problem at the moment.

Call it a "timing" stint if you're gonna call it anything.

the 2:30-3:00 half hour of the Brian Hayes show and then the Ray Ferraro interview, same day, same show.

Can't remember if there was any coach talk, but the players were getting laid into, and the team in general.

 

[mpp9]

Errey was just on Madden. Pretty solid interview. Definitely starting to call DB out. Saying the room shouldn't be all get along all the time. Players making dumb plays should be called out. Blames some of our issues on DB's lineup decisions and playing their offsides. (In terms of getting pucks out)

Madden's monologue was good as well. The team should be told they have to get things done this year. Or there won't be many get along moments this offseason. And they'll be known as chokers. And Sid as Peyton Manning.
