Pre-Game Talk: Friend of the Pens, John Tortorella Comes to Town: Canucks @ Penguins

[MtlPenFan]

No he didn't.

I get that you don't line DJ but to say that Engo is the better forward is just making stuff up.

And this is why my time around here is limited now. It's become insufferable. I'm not making anything up, you're just reading what you want into it.

No, on no planet is Engo a better forward. However, on a 4th line, he's a better FIT than Jeffrey.

Jeffrey's also better than Vitale, but I would take a fit if Vitale is ever sat over Jeffrey on the bottom six.

The new buzzline.

Conner - Vitale - Engelland

I wouldn't say no to a Scrabbles-Joe V. Conner line.

I've always liked Conner.

How could they weaken WBS like that? Outrageous. Pittsburgh doesn't care about the Wyoming Valley!

this probably results in Paul Thompson getting off the bench, no? #seriousWBStalk

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

That's a good point, but at this point I'm going with the #hottake that Paul Thompson is to the AHL what Eric Tangradi is to the NHL.

Seriously?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

So I take it Bennett isn't back yet and Zolnierczyk is being sent down? .... no one else is injured... right?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Is Jeffrey hurt? Dressing Engelland and calling up Conner suggests as much, unless they're going to give a couple different call up guys looks.

 

[MonsterSurge]

I like Scrabbles' game. Engelland playing as forward gives us a few options. He can fight and fill in on D.

Bylsma is the only one in this league that likes this worthless midget. I'll bet he'll be up the rest of the season and probably be putting Bennett in the press box or back down to WBS because of it.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Send Jeffrey to Calgary, he will get good time with them.

No he wouldnt, especially with Cammalleri, Stajan and Jones do back soon from injuries.

Anyone else remember when Chris Conner played 60 games for the pens in 2010-11? The same year DJ played 25, Tangradi played 15 and Vitale played 9.

Good times!

 

[billybudd]

I remember that Conner didn't blow his knee out twice or get elbowed in the head by an ape that year, yes.

 

[SaturdayNightSlegr]

The Conner call-up had better be because someone's hurt.

Havent you heard? Malkin needs a winger.

Who gets the start today, Zatkoff or Fleury?

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Who gets the start today, Zatkoff or Fleury?

Fleury most definitely will start. Zatkoff will only start in back-to-back situations

 

[Vujtek]

Who gets the start today, Zatkoff or Fleury?

There is no reason to start to Zatkoff today. Canucks are probably the toughest opponent Pens have faced this season so Fleury will definitely start today.
