Confirmed with Link: Penguins recall F Brian Gibbons from WBS

[Speaking Moistly]

Gibbons has been my favourite petite player.

you have plenty to choose from

Yeah... I'm waiting for them all to play on one line and for Shero to scrounge up some matching defensemen.

Collision with Bernier.

Shoulda been a penalty, Bernier did not touch the puck, it was Megna who hit it but i don't blame the refs for not calling a penalty, that would be hard to see.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I was unrealistically hoping for Farnham.

The idea of him, Sill, Zolnierczyk, Vitale and Bortuzzo all running around out there is too hilarious for it not to happen at least once.

 

[Shrimper]

Hope he does well. Whose up after him? Drazenovic? Zlobin?

I imagine it would be Drazenovic (Words with friends as Scrabbles is already taken) though I think they'd prefer to call up Uher or Payerl but both are injured. After Drazenovic it would be Kuhnhackl, Farnham, Zlobin or PL3.

Doesn't Farnham have an AHL only deal? or was that last year?

 

[Your Boy Troy]

I am surprised that Tom Kostopoulos hasn't been signed to an NHL contract. Have the Penguins reach the maximum amount of NHL contracts?

He got an NHL contract, this season.

 

[madinsomniac]

So all we need is injuries or suspensions to Crosby, Kunitz, Duper, Sutter, and Jokienen and we wont have a forward that you couldnt imagine playing in the AHL on the roster.

Probably afraid he'd be claimed on waivers. Isn't that how we lost him last season?

Indeed it is.

that rule wasn't changed in the off-season?

 

[MrBurghundy]

I have no clue and I'm way too lazy to look it up.

Uher is back, i believe (or close to coming back)

Gibbons recalled. Not surprising. Bombulie notes Dom Uher is good to go. So I wonder if Carter Rowney is headed here.

On the #WBSPens injury front, Uher practiced today with a full cage. McNeill is day-to-day and Merth is out until after Christmas.

[Zirakzigil]

I saw we ice and AHL team with Crosby, Kunitz and Fleury and see how the team does! Were almost there as it is

 

[Stad]

Wonder if Malkin plays tomorrow.

Does anyone know if he made the trip to NY?

i seriously doubt he plays tomorrow. They wouldn't have recalled Gibbons otherwise.

Well Megna got hurt, and they probably want to at least have a guy on hand in case something happens in the game day skate or during warm-ups.

That being said, I highly doubt Malkin gets in the game. Let him rest.

 

[66-30-33]

Malkin will be back after Christmas, probably in Jan sometime.

 

[IcedCapp]

Malkin will be back after Christmas, probably in Jan sometime.

why would you say after Christmas?

Team didn't announce, but Megna was put on IR. Malkin is not yet on IR.

 

[SEALBound]

This team needs some serious Zlobin. Zlobin-Malkin-Neal is the future. Embrace it.

We're not ready for his skilful-mindedness and biscuit scoring yet.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I want to buy a Megna jersey, but should I wait to see if he gets a real number next year? 14 is Kunitz, 95 is Morozov, 41 is Bortuzzo.

22 is a D-Man number and 4 is Scuderi.

This leaves Megna with 59, 72, and 11.

Does anybody think it's OK for me to buy a Megna 59 Jersey?

Don't get me wrong, I love Despres and Maatta, but Megna is everything I thought we'd never have...

...and the holidays are coming up. Can I order a #59 Megna jersey and get away with it?
