GDT: Game XII 2230hrs EST Pens vs Kings: Who shall wear the crown?

[Empoleon8771]

Hinostroza went down solely because they needed to call up Blomqvist with Jarry's injury.

“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.”

I think this is a couple years old.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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 can't send down Ruhwedel today to become cap compliant even if they waived him.

 

[Gurglesons]

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

Either way, I expect a loss now.

I'm going and I haven't seen the Penguins lose since like 2016.

Idk…take it for what it’s worth…

also…lol

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Sure glad they gave Mr glass a 5 year contract

also…lol

It's definitely a climb for us. But if the Penguins adjust and play the game like they did against the Ducks, I think we can gain some space in the division. We have the benefit of New Jersey, NYR, and others also having significant injuries.

 

[Andy99]

Pens outscored 12-2 the last two years in LA and haven’t won at Staples or whatever it’s called now since 2018, no disrespect to Gurgleson…not to mention, the Kings are way better and more talented than the Pens…their two losses were the first two games of the season…haven’t loss in regulation since…

We’ll see if the team really wants to play that way the next few games…

yeah, everyone goes to the beach or Universal , and the game is secondary lol

 

[SEALBound]

The dude took a puck to the face while shutting the other team out.

I hate the contract myself, like 110%, but be reasonable, lol.

Was it that LA game where they fire Johnston afterwards? Think you could keep that streak alive, if so?

 

[Icarium]

If Geno is skipping the optional skate then the team probably doesn't plan on showing up for the game.

He's gonna save the season, bud.

Hinostroza went down solely because they needed to call up Blomqvist with Jarry's injury.

Yep, and for those curious, the major issue is because Blomqvist has a higher cap hit. Prior to today's moves, the Pens had $90,000 in cap space per capfriendly.

They put Ludvig and his $775,000 cap hit on LTIR, technically giving them $865,000 in cap space, but Blomqvist's cap hit is $886,667.

It's a lot more complicated than that with daily cap hits and the exact amount of LTIR space, but that's the easy way to to look at it.

If Jarry is only out a few days, they'll be fine with Carter back in the lineup for 2-3 games.

EDIT - And it sounds like Jarry definitely won't be out long unless concussion symptoms creep in.

 

[WickedWrister]

Sounds like good news on Jarry

"Mike Sullivan says the testing came back positive for Tristan Jarry, the only issue is that his eye is closed from the swelling and he has limited vision. So they’re hoping once the swelling goes down, he’ll be OK.

Magnus Hellberg starts tonight regardless."

 

[tom_servo]

Four-goalie rotation this year sounds good to me. Too bad one makes $5 million.

 

[Andy99]

what’s the great opportunity for Carter? To get another $3M contract with a NMC from the Pens for next season? Lol

 

[Beau Knows]

Nice to see Jarry for once escape a dangerous looking situation with minimal damage.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Kinda figured Carter would play in what may be his last game in LA.

 

[tom_servo]

Blomqvist will make a good backup goalie because look at all the backup letters in his hometown: Uusikaarlepyy

Nice to have an extra y at the end of the bench when you need it.

 

[Icarium]

Carts... gotta love how hockey nicknames are as imaginative as Sully's interview responses.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Sure glad they gave Mr glass a 5 year contract

His helmet came off and he got struck in the face or something.

Come on now.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Should be some goals tonight with both Hellberg and Copley in net.

Hopefully we score more especially with LAK off a b2b

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

His helmet came off and he got struck in the face or something.

Come on now.

Still had his helmet on, thankfully, but it wasn't secured after Henrique accidentally bumped him. If his helmet came off, he'd be in much worse shape.

He clearly doesn't read our October PGTs because I've been led to believe that the points in OCT don't matter.
