The NHL Post Christmas - Pre Olympics period begins ....Now!
The pens are looking to get several vets back,
-Tanner Glass is looking to be playing to save us from a Pascal Dupuis injury and the impending Bylsma meltdown that would occur with too many favorites out. Harry Zolnierczyk has been sent down to the AHL so we can get back to a sane 4th line that has little speed....
-Brooks Orpik is finally tired of faking it, meaning recently demoted Son of Ulf best not be expecting any more NHL time anytime soon.
-Rob Scuderi was looking for full clearance to play as early as today, meaning the days of Doumulin eating top ice time is probably done for now
-Most importantly Deryk Engelland is back from suspension... meaning we may well have seen the last of either Bortuzzo or Despres for a long time...
the Days of the young guns is over, slammed shut by the 5-0 loss...
No word on Malkin or Duper as of yet
Lol today the pens face Carolina.. who, next to Columbus, are easily the most, "Wait... they are in the division TOO?" type team in the Metropolitian (ugh) division.
They pretty much stink, and are on a 3 game losing streak... which mean we ought to fear this game like few others.
They feature 8 players total on their roster with a positive +/-, even though they really are a middle of the road defensive team... this could be because they cant score.. oh they can shoot... they only are averaging about a shot less than the Pens are per game, the problem is they are averaging almost a goal less per game too...
Its so bad they have recalled waiver king Zach Boychuck to help out
They have their Staal collection, and the ever dangerous Skinner and the enigmatic Crosby hater Semin...
