Excited to watch.

Going to be a big teat playing the Kings. The Kings have a really solid team and they have our number.

 

[Deport Ogie]

Haven't seen much because west coast and all, but in as far as I can tell the Kings have been GOOD good, and not just "early season small sample" good. It looks like our combo in net will be Hellberg/Blomqvist so....y'know... buckle up and all that.

Cam Talbot played last night (4-1 W over 1st place VGK) so we're probably seeing Pheonix Copley.

Hopefully they asked Blomqvist to get on a plane yesterday and didn't just inform him of this today.

 

[Sideline]

I'm curious to see if Blomqvist gets any games in. It's not unheard of for a team to leave their top goalie option in the AHL if he's a young guy and the call up is just being brought in to sit on the bench and fill a net in practice. If Jarry is going to be out for a while then the available minutes is a very different situation.

If ever there was a time for the Penguins to hit on a second rounder it would be now with their goalie situation.

a big what?

 

[TySmith4Norris]

Assume they ride the hot hand with Hellberg but agree it would be nice to see Blomqvist get a start at some point

 

[KrisLetAngry]

a big what?

HAHA.

A big test.

 

[Zirakzigil]

a big what?

Top titty Toffoli plays for the Devils now sadly

I like big teats and I cannot lie

I refuse to believe someone named "Pheonix Copley" is a backup NHL netminder and not, in fact, a gung-ho F-16 pilot in some masculinity-fueled television show from 1986. He does NOT work well with authority but get to know him and you'll find he has a heart of gold.

I bet he likes to play by his own rules!

 

[Gurglesons]

Jeff Carter is in lol.

Jeff Carter is in lol.

Just a huge lol. I'm glad that Mike Sullivan is willing to punt another must win game because he has to keep Jeff Carter happy.

Ridiculous

I think it is because of roster spots and cap since Blomqvist came up.

Yeah I guess if Jarry isn't getting ltir you're probably right.

Though they could waive Ruhwedel's useless ass instead

 

[Deport Ogie]

Ludvig to LTIR did not clear enough cap for Blomqvist to come up so they had to send down someone who didn't require waivers. Thus, arrivederci Vinnie. Carter cannot be the sacrifice for 1,523 reasosn which have been documented ad nauseum.

I get it, it's certainly very Mike Sullivan to make this move just for the move's sake but I don't think that's the case here. Any argument as to Sully's part in getting the Pens to this point in the first place are, however, valid.

 

[Icarium]

I already placed a small bet for a Kings win, so the news about Carter is music to my ears.

 

[SEALBound]

Could be cap related if they have to bring up Blomqvist....

Either way, I expect a loss now.

Well they could waive Ruh. He'd probably get claimed but who cares they have POJ and Shea who can both come in and play

They sure could but we all know that isn't going to happen.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not shocked Carter is in or there is cap gymnastics with Jarry out

This is from a poster on another site…depressing…

“From Elliott Friedman today...

In the salary cap era, and only counting 82 game seasons, there have been 66 teams that were 4 points out of a playoff spot on November 1st. Of those 66 teams, only 9 (14%) have made the playoffs.

The games in October mean much, much more than some people think.”
