Sprong with 1 goal and 3 ass. in a 13-2 win today. Also 2nd star. That's more like it.

13 goals?

 

[Jacob]

1+2 and 1st star for Sprong today.

Pretty much back on track.

 

[Shady Machine]

Good to hear

His one timer on PP1/2 will be fun to have in the arsenal.

9 points in his last 3 games. That's better.

Letang is going to enjoy limiting that.

But I take it Sponge's shot is okay?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Letang is going to enjoy limiting that.

Potential 2nd PP unit next year could wreak some havoc:

Sprong (left boards)
Guentzel (right boards/down low)
Sheary (down low/right boards)
Sundqvist (net front)
Schultz (point)

To make up for Letang on PP1? I wouldn't be surprised of Letang and Schultz ended up competing for PP1 time next season or if pp2 had two defensemen.

I think we'll see Sprong start in the AHL next season until he forces their hand and whoever the 3C is on pp2. If they're all in the NHL next season then I think we'll see a forward on that list be the odd man out when the team is healthy. In any event they should be sending some serious talent out for the entire PP.

If LV takes a guy like Rust then he has a shot out of camp, will have to earn it though. AHL seems more likely.

I think so too. He'll probably be brought along like Guentzel.

Dang. I can't wait to see something like that, whenever it happens.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sprong is now on a basically equivalent pace to last year after a slow start, that's impressive considering he missed like 6 months due to shoulder surgery. It looks like he has shaken off the rust at this point.

 

[Shady Machine]

haha what a difference 4 days makes on this board.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Yup haha. But 9 points in 3 games in any league will probably do that.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

yeah, I expect him to have a similar experience to Guentzel. Iirc Sheary also went through something similar last season. We'll see Sprong start in the AHL, get a call up for one reason or another, get sent back down and then get called up again for hopefully the final time. If Sprong performs the way he should, but I think the AHL will be good for him and he'll do his part.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Pens fans must see.

Angello 2G. Taylor 1A. Vecchione 2G.

 

[WayneSid9987]

^Very fun. Thx for posting. Angello's 2nd goal was beastly. Using his size/speed.
Kid is 6'5!

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Pens fans must see.

Angello 2G. Taylor 1A. Vecchione 2G.

This Vecchione kid is a UFA?

When can they be signed as of?

Being used as a net front screen on the PP too.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Angello needs to polish up that speed but man that kid is massive. He was a long shot pick and still is to an extent but I really hope this kid develops well.

The last big man we had in the system dropped the N bomb and looked like Mario's love child, we can do better.

 

[Jacob]

Angello is easily one of our 10 best prospects.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Didn't know where to post this but this seems like the best thread.
Good article about the CHL court case where the plaintiffs argue jr. players should be paid a wage.

Teams hiding their financials was pretty expected but the amount of $ the NHL gives the CHL was really surprising.

http://www.tsn.ca/new-court-filings-take-aim-at-chl-clubs-financials-1.667220

It's no wonder why they have that stupid CHL Transfer agreement(ie. the one where Sprong can't play in the AHL till 20).
They should just amend it to pay CHL teams $ whether a prospect plays in the NHL OR THE AHL.

Angello 2G. Taylor 1A. Vecchione 2G.

Is that former Pirates announcer Tim Neverett calling the game?
