so the pens have lost Letang to West Point's arduous obstacle course and Neal to the rigorous strain of non-competitive whiffle ball. good stuff, right here.

 

[Vujtek]

Going on LTIR I assume.

 

[Tender Rip]

So, why call up Harry if there are no new injuries?
Beau.....? or..... Paranoid... He is receiving a lesson?

Beau is day-to-day per Shelly Anderson.

but let's go with him being taught a lesson. 'bylspanic' is just too much fun...

I hope DB plays Harry with Sutter, i'd hate to see the Adams Vitale Glass line broken up.

This is terrific. Our top two wingers, best dman, and best goalie (IMO) are all out. Meanwhile, Gladams are playing in their 800th straight game. Gotta love it haha

Awesome.

They probably have Neal on IR retroactive to when he was hurt so he'll probably be able to come back as soon as he's good to go. But yeah, the injuries have already begun.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Wiffle ball was it?

I blame the Nuttings.

It was definitely whiffle ball.

 

[Waffle Fries]

This has to be LTIR because we have absolutely no cap space.

So I have a question. Can LTIR be retroactive to a specific date like regular IR? So Neal can come back in say four games instead of ten provided he's ready?

 

[mpp9]

Get the injuries out of the way early I guess. Crosby and Malkin stay healthy, Ill take it.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

So, when is Neal eligible for return?

 

[stefanh]

So, when is Neal eligible for return?

I would assume if it's LTIR which it almost have to be it could be retroactive to the 4th, so the 4th of November, if that is the case.

LTIR is atleast 24 days and 10 games so if Neal was put on LTIR retroactively from the 4th, then he could return against the Hurricanes on 28th.

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Jokinen-Malkin-Kobasew
Zolnierczyk-Sutter-Jeffrey
Glass-Vitale-Adams

You can hardly notice that Neal and Bennett are out...

Oh god our lineup is so bad today. Good thing the Oilers suck, Sid is going to get like 5 points.

 

[themethod7]

i'd hate to see the Adams Vitale Glass line broken up.

I'll take "Things I Never Thought I'd Hear on the HF/Pens Board" for $1000, Alex.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

I think Glass will be on Sutter's wing.

 

[Will Hunting]

I think Glass will be on Sutter's wing.

Thankfully, he´s not. Those lines are on the ice practicing. Our PP needs to generate a lot tonight. Oilers are a bad team, but it won´t be that easy with this lineup.

I love Beau as much as the next guy, but calling him our second best winger is ridiculous.

I've seen Z a couple times in WBS. Good forechecker, brings some energy. He should be on the fourth line but that line really is playing well so why break it up. Hopefully he's on the third.

 

[Evergreen]

My fantasy team appreciates the team putting Neal on IR. As a Flyers fan, good luck with Zolniercyk! Guy is as dumb as they come.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Okay, so let's hope he makes it through a game without getting supended the day after.
