Kuhnhackl had a torn groin in the playoffs last year for anyone who didn't see that.

Kuhnhackl had a torn groin in the playoffs last year for anyone who didn't see that.

Saw that. Damn. Groins are tricky. Some guys have issues with them forever, some heal 100%. Hopefully it's the latter. Although I'm betting he's a waiver candidate come end of camp.

Interviews:

I want to be friends with ZAR...

Also interesting was Johnson's interview.
Asked his biggest weakness atm and he said faceoffs.
Speed being his biggest asset.

Interviews:

I've been waiting on some clarification on positional outlooks. Good to finally see.

They do have guys who have played in the middle such as Aston-Reese. Thomas Di Pauli has spent time in the middle, the same for Adam Johnson.

Guerin said Johnson, a rookie free agent from Minnesota-Duluth, is the only one the Penguins truly view as a center.

The others would only be moved there in a pinch, Guerin said.

“Trying a guy at a different position, that will come on the fly,†Guerin said. “There are definitely guys who can give us games there. Jean-Sebastien Dea’s another one. We have some new players coming in. We’ll see how that goes.â€

Is it me, or is Aston-Reese a dead ringer for Patrice Bergeron?

can't wait to see him play.

It's like they took Sheary into the growth chamber and said "add 25%" and ZAR came out.

Heck, even his jersey number 75 is associated in Pittsburgh with former Steeler “Mean†Joe Greene.

That's pretty awesome.

 

[REAVES]

That's pretty awesome.

Anyone have a link for the Prospects game at 330 today? I tried going on NHL penguins.com with my phone but can't find anything

[Shrimper]

Anyone else's audio not smooth?

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Anyone else's audio not smooth?

Yep.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Anyone else's audio not smooth?

It's glitchy for me but I think it's been like that every time I've watched one of these streams.

 

[Shrimper]

Yep.

It's horrible. Would hope they'll try and see if they can fix it because it really audible like this.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

It's horrible. Would hope they'll try and see if they can fix it because it really audible like this.

Yeah it's really annoying. Well worst case I'll mute the stream and put on some music.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Yea, the stream is borked atm.

 

[Shrimper]

Yeah it's really annoying. Well worst case I'll mute the stream and put on some music.

Video is a bit buggered too.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Just like an NHL game it's not starting when they said it would.

 

[Shrimper]

National Anthem at a Prospects game. Ridiculous.

 

[wej20]

You'd think the stream would be a little better given there are probably about 100 people max watching.
