No more excuses for AG. He's in as big of a role as he can hope for or deserve.
Put the f***ing puck in the net.

If Hornqvist got hurt this shit is just hilarious now.

What a terrible image.
JR is probably googling if you can take someone off waivers under an emergency injury situation.

I don't even know anymore. f*** this season.

seems weird but yeah, the only thing I can think of is trade or maybe they want to sign Noesen....which they should do imo

no one can think positively like that given the injury state of the team lol...

Well, it also doesn’t match up because he isn’t on the ice. But whatever.

If the Penguins lose Hornqvist to injury that's 31.2M in cap space on the shelf. Insane.
I dunno... it sucks because the way this team was playing had me really optimistic this year but I don't see a way past all of this.

He's been doing great in the AHL, I just don't know if it will transfer. It didn't with a Devils and they let him walk. Stars gave him a PTO and released him. That's the only thing that makes me nervous on him. Plus, I believe he will have to go through waivers to get up to the team. Is another ZAR what we need?
Its still only December. If everyone comes back healthy in the next 2 months...there's still plenty of time to start firing again.

Most of these injuries are longer term and to extremely pivotal players. There is also post-injury recovery time to take into consideration. IF the team can ever reach the point of being mostly-healthy, then it could already be too late. They've been absolutely digging as deep as a team can for weeks. You can't keep up that kind of intensity forever, especially as you shed even MORE players to injury you already cannot afford.
I just don't see it. There isn't enough left. Add in the fact that two guys in Gooch and Murray who should be forming the very small core of players left that can give them a chance are shitting the bed hard every night.
Start of a new era. This where ZAR goes from Hornqvist lite to second coming of Holmstrom.
It’s worth a shot for Noesen over Blandisi but yeah, there might be a waiver issue....I would agree with you regarding a push in February if I thought we’d be close enough to a PO spot by then...I don’t have a lot of confidence in that given the current state of our goaltending...if we were getting great goaltending then I think we could wait it out

f***ing hell.
Every single tumble and semi-hard collision into the boards is likely to send another guy off to IR for weeks.
I can't account for it any other way but I dunno if I actually believe in luck THIS bad.

I did say i would sign Noesen+get him up here and bring up AJ too.
Right now Agg's, AJ and Noesen are stirring the drink for Wilkes and all are NHL capable.
I think what happens with Noesen is is miscast in a 4th line NHL role.
His game is sorta Justin Williams-esque and should be played in the top 9 scoring role BUT i do wonder if it's a speed issue. Theres nothing left but to try him now if Horny's out. Already know what AJ, Agg's bring.
