Praise the almighty JR.

 

[Headshot77]

Never heard of him.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I think he recently had a hat trick with the baby Pens. Managed to score at even strength, on the power play, and shorthanded.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Rewarding a WBS stalwart with job security.

*shrugs*

Nice. Rowney deserved an NHL-contract. Would take him over Sheary. His brand of game is more suited for the fourth-line role.

Agreed.

 

[Shrimper]

Fab, scored a perfect hat-trick last week.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Qui?

 

[SEALBound]

Just saw, 6'2 208lbs...not terrible.

Can anyone comment on speed and skill set? Compared to say, Kuhnhackl?

I'd actually say he's like a less-feisty Wilson.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I'd say he's somewhere between Kuhnhackl and Fehr in terms of playing style. He's an average skater that's good defensively and does most of his work along the boards.

At his age he's probably not going to suddenly break out and be an NHLer, but he certainly earned a two way deal.

 

[td_ice]

He's definitely a hustle, work hard all the time guy.

 

[Crosby the Crybaby*]

Good. 17 points in 15 games apparently, getting better and better. Will join our revolving door of WBS call-ups. Hopefully permanent!

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Rowney had 2 goals today, including the OT winner.

 

[Darth Vitale]

With a name like Cartner Rowney, he must be good.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Cool.
