Pre-Game Talk: Pens vs Sens

[Tasty Biscuits]

Doesn't even sound like it's a day-to-day thing

God damn, Beau.

Guess it's better to get 'em out of the way early... But what a ****** time for an injury. He's had an insanely good pre-season and first few games.

They're not even giving it the ******** Pens PR spin and saying "just banged up, day-to-day."

 

[Waffle Fries]

So he got hurt on the very last shift of the game? Or did something happen off ice? I can't imagine it being serious.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

So he must have been injured sometime last game and the coach makes no mention of it until 2 days later? This ****ing organization sucks. Coach is talking about how great BB's game was on tuesday but him being injured somehow slips his mind?

Maybe Johnston beat him up, or Morehouse made a phone call.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Pretty sure Malkin got hurt last year against the Blue like halfway through the game, but finished it and showed no ill effects. Stuff like that happens sometimes.

 

[Zero Pucks]

There goes 1/3 of our goals so far this season.

That's what I'm curious about as well.

Maybe the squat rack fell on him or something.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

**** everything. It's probably his wrist again.

 

[Empoleon8771]

If the injury is serious, maybe it opens up a chance for Sprong to slide up in the lineup? Damn though Beau, why can't you stay healthy? I hate that he has done that 2 years in a row now, start out the preseason fantastic, get everyone hopeful with him only to get hurt again.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

**** everything. It's probably his wrist again.

If it's his wrist again that might be the end of his NHL career after this season. Shame that such a stupid freak accident could end up derailing a promising career.

But that is all highly presumptuous and a worst-case scenario that I don't believe to be reality.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I cant believe BB got injured.

 

[Empoleon8771]

If this is another serious injury, I wouldn't be surprised for the Pens to not tender Bennett a QO after this year. This contract was his "crap or get off the toilet" contract, and him getting hurt again makes it very hard to crap. With Sprong showing as much as he has shown, I can't see the Pens putting up with Beau's injury issues much longer.

 

[Pancakes]

Yeah if Beau is out this should at least lead to Sprong being put on the third line, unless Johnston is insane and puts Porter or Farnham there.

 

[billybudd]

So Farnham plays a game and Dupuis immediately gets injured. Fehr either comes back or is close to it and Bennett goes down again.

Wonderful. Eagerly awaiting the inevitable Letang concussion, except not.

 

[WayneSid9987]

How? He finished the freakkkin'''' game!?!?

So:

Kunitz-Sid-Kessel
Perron-Geno-Horny
Plotnikov-Bonino-Sprong
Porter-Cullen-Farnham

it is then?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

It's always the useful players who get hurt on this team as well. Over the last few years Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Beau, Mattaa and others have all gone down. Meanwhile, Kunitz, Adams, Scuderi and Lovejoy have been made of iron or something. Maybe other teams are taking it easy on those guys so the Pens won't be forced to take them out of the lineup.

No matter how injury prone he is they'd be stupid to not qualify him at least. Some other team would take a gamble and scoop him up instantly if he became available.

 

[Fordy]

don't tell me this makes you excited to watch tonight

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Yeah I can see why someone would say give up on him but.......I mean we see our "stable" of young forwards right? Can't let him go really.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Here's to hoping the injury is nothing serious, and he only misses a game or two.

That's about all of the positivity and optimism I can muster with regard to this team's injury woes, especially regarding Bennett.

Except both Kunitz and Scuderi have been injured, and Lovejoy this go around hasn't been on the team that long.

Adams was Adams.

 

[Empoleon8771]

No matter how injury prone he is they'd be stupid to not qualify him at least. Some other team would take a gamble and scoop him up instantly if he became available.

The Coyotes didn't tender a QO to John Moore last year and the Canes didn't qualify an offer to Loktionov in 2014, so it has happened before. Loktionov also produced similar to how BB has, he had 7 goals and 22 points in 68 games in his last season. I wouldn't say they won't QO him, but I could definitely see it happening.

 

[Zero Pucks]

How? He finished the freakkkin'''' game!?!?

He probably injured his back from having to carry this highly skilled team.

Yea, i don't see why you wouldn't keep gambling with Beau if he comes in under a million.

Still a tad too early as this injury COULD be minor.
Kid has had some major ones along the way.
Maybe he got lucky this time.
