The All Purpose Pens Off Day Thread - Injuries, Practice, Injuries, Lines, More Injuries, etc

This is going to be interesting. I hope they turn up the ice mics. I love hockey sounds. The skates on the ice, pucks on sticks, the shit talking

Maybe they'll play crowd noise over the PA system.

They shouldn’t have to.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

They should play the ''sound of silence''.

Everything in a creepy minor key

or Coldplay...lol

Chainsmokers

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

They shouldn’t have to.

I'm wondering if they'll have to turn the mics way down because of the F bombs.

 

[Peat]

Guys, guys. You've got this all wrong.

Play the Yakkity Sax theme on a loop and speed everything up to 3 times normal speed. That's what they should do.

Torn on ZAR's return.
On one hand, it may get Blueger/Tanev going again and analytically it's supposed to be really hard to score on that line but on the other hand Lafferty+ERod made a buzzing bottom 6 forecheck as witnessed in Jersey.

Hope for the best, i suppose.

ETA: No fans is gonna be super weird if implemented.
Will probably be the first NHL game that does it so all eyes on us...

Western PA has been fortunate enough to not have any cases of this yet, canceling parades and such, multiple events that would draw outsiders in.

Then there’s the Penguins... who are looking to rock a full hou$e...


Also, the NBA just suspended their entire season.

 

[Turin]

A truly amazing overreaction.

 

[TooManyHumans]

A truly amazing overreaction.

It’s not. It’s appropriate. The way to turn this into nothing all that bad is to act quickly to slow the spread. Acting as though everything is normal is the way to turn it into a tragedy. Slow the spread, allow those who need care to get it, and we move on without a lot of people dying when they don’t have to.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Hopefully the Pens will quiet the BJ's crowd!

The whole crowd is just Brandon Dubinsky boo'ing Crosby everytime he touches the ice. They'll lower a mic above him to really send that message.

 

[DeadPuckEra]

A truly amazing overreaction.

You would know one to see one.

I’ll bite though, it’s not about younger people. It’s about the fact that the elderly population, and potentially people with underlying issues are at risk.

There are not enough hospital beds, nor ventilators in the United States to sustain the elderly population alone - meanwhile the thousands that will be showing up to the hospital.

Doctors will be weighing options as to who lives and who dies. We’ll pick up this discussion in about a month, and like everything else I’ve disputed with you, I’ll be spot on.

Good luck to you and yours.

I think that might jumpstart that 4th line again, the Bart line or whatever people named it, as it were. I just don't know who else you take out right now, Bjugstad is a useless turd so f*** that wanker, but Rodrigues has been playing better, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to rotate some guys in, keep them fresh, sit guys that need to be sat with having a healthy NHL option, not a bad problem.

Great news once NHL season gets suspended for a month or 2 before resuming, JAKE IS COMING BACK FOR THE PLAYOFFS!!!

This whole shitshow will be blown over in a month or 2, will give the Pens a long much needed break from being a bunch of shitties, also means next season will be another shortened season.

The good news... there’s a few teams that won’t even notice the change in attendance.

 

[66-30-33]

Gives us a break from how bad the Pens are, gives Pens a break from how bad they are.

But....we still wont be healthy regardless, it's the Penguins.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

A truly amazing overreaction.

Why is that?

Those 12 people at the Panthers games, beg to differ.

2 months after the NHL and the World survives the Coronavirus, Crosby will be stricken ill with consumption and Malkin will die of dysentery.

Kessel will be last man standing, needs that man streak to stay alive.

When the scientists test why and how he was immune, they will have discovered it was due to a high dose of nitrates and carbs in his diet.

ZAR is such a great defender that he's going to keep the corona away from the team!

It seems like the end result will be the rest of the season is going to get canceled.

They will probably suspend the season tomorrow, then eventually it will get canceled.

I wonder how the draft would work if the season is canceled? The Pens have a condition on the 1st round pick they traded to the Wild, I wonder how the season getting canceled would effect the pick?
