Pre-Game Talk: New Jersey at Pittsburgh

[cassius]

Josh Yohe @JoshYohe_Trib
Crosby and Bortuzzo are sick. Undergoing tests.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

WBS website has him at 183.

good that sounds more reasonable. Ive heard he's a very good skater. A callup that's a good skater that's not one of the thin midget .patrol

 

[Winger for Hire]

How about a 1-on-5 when he is on the ice? Pull the goalie, too. The Adams-play.

Isn't that the scrum they do at the end of warm-ups, the Adams Scrum? I swear every single game I go to, he's the one putting it home to end it (and working at 100% effort, unlike the other 18 slackers out there).

Adams, then Letang, then Malkin shoots a puck and hits Chris Stewart in the foot.

Zlobin done for the year. That sucks.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Yeah ... how long does a mumps outbreak normally last, anyway? Seems like this one has been going on for a couple of months, hasn't it? You'd think it would have run it's course by now.

I have no idea how long it normally lasts but the NHL isn't a normal situation. It's with these highly cared for professional athletes who happen to be spreading it to each other all over the country (continent? I don't think it's hit a Canadian team yet). I'm waiting for the Pens to get some mutated monster version of the mumps.

I think they've moved on to the flu now though. Next, probably something to do with the digestive system.

Jesus. That sucks.

I didn't even know adult humans could get the Mumps until this year.

I was also under the impression it had been eradicated by a vaccine. Does Canada not vaccinate for that?

For the love of god, please beat us 8-0 so our clown of a coach gets gone. K thanks

This sounds familiar...

Probably caused by the wave of "all knowing" mothers that think vaccinations are evil and decide not to give them to their kids...

For the love of god give us your best young top 6 winger/prospect or two... or three. Do that and it's a deal.


The Pens will probably lose tonight and you'll hate us.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

WBS website has him at 183.

He doesn't look small on the ice, maybe that's partly because of the AHL having some smaller guys. I'd be surprised if he was only 183 though, he looks solid.

 

[paine]

Ehrhoff on the top PP?

 

[Asuna]

That's not where he belongs. Adams belongs on a line bigger than the 1st line. Maybe if we trade Crosby and Malkin for the best wingers in the league and only play that line with our two best defensemen. **The Adams line**

Holy **** you're right. I can't wait till they put a statue of Adams outside Consol.

Jesus. That sucks.

I know, poor Zlobin. I think he's about as lucky as BB when it comes to injuries.
Speaking of ... we were doing so well on that front. This time last year half the defense was out with broken bones. So, I guess the flu or the soups is an improvement.

The vaccine isn't 100% effective. I've been DogPiling, but can't find any info on how long the outbreaks last. Seems it's usually college campuses that get hit. I'd actually forgotten that my son had to have booster shots before he started at OSU, oddly enough ... the years all roll into one after a while

What's the story here?

 

[ProgOg]

Shoulder surgery. He had his arm in a sling for some time now - not sure since when he has been out.

Thanks. I was wondering why he wasn't playing when I checked like a week ago.

 

[penguins2946*]

Has Wilson officially been called up yet?

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Holy ****, you can do inline editing of thread title now?

 

[Stad]

Has Wilson officially been called up yet?

Not yet.

 

[Freeptop]

That would be pretty cool if our 7th round pick from 2011 makes his debut tonight. That would probably be a first for the Shero era, to have a late round pick like him play a game in the NHL.

Dustin Jeffrey was a 6th round pick (2007).

Still a rarity, just not the first

Come to think of it, I might have gotten a booster shot for mumps when I went to college. Had to get some shot, maybe it was that, didn't really pay attention to (or care about) that kind of thing at 18. Or wait, that might have been measles.

I'll miss this game, gotta go to work on my day off.

Probably both ... it's one vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. Hopefully we'll find out soon what's up with Sid and Bort ... and that it's just your generic, run of the mill cold/flu.

Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins
The #Pens have recalled forward Scott Wilson from the @WBSPenguins.
