The All Purpose Pens Off Day Thread - Injuries, Practice, Lines, etc (Dumo Injured - 8 weeks)

[Kristopher Letang]

@KIRK or @ColePens

They are all talk, they don’t know how to play hockey. Put me on.

@KIRK or @ColePens

Isn’t @ColePens a defenseman? I guess it doesn’t really matter at this point..

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Are they all 80?

 

[Malkinstheman]

WTF? Thats 3 players that have gotten injured during practice now.

Is Sully beating them with sticks during practice?

 

[Andy99]

yep, that’s why it’s difficult to predict a lot of wins with all these players out...goaltending and special teams have blown chunks recently...

The Bill Peters way clearly doesn’t work on true Penguins bodies.

They’d be dead if he were.

I think they had 2 last season. It’s not really new for the Pens over the years. Fleury got concussed, ZAR did something, murray got concussed, poor Bennett hurt his leg, Neal got whiffle balled, etc. This season is just on steroids.

Regardless of injury histories, I can’t really hold any injuries against the players at this point. It’s beyond that. The healthy ones should be afraid.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Wait, did someone get injured at practice?

-edit- Oh good, Hornqvist left practice. Good news, he's not injury prone and the concerns about his contract turning into a massive albatross were irrational.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Horny fell and has a LBI now

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Hornqvist today. Who knows who is next.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Press F to pay your respects to this season, everyone.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Good call on Noesen, everyone. He's on his way to the Burgh with a shiny new $700k contract.

 

[Andy99]

I think we should send the team one of these videos...

 

[Malkinstheman]

Looks like Noesen is gonna play

 

[Andy99]

Looks like Noesen is gonna play

let’s hope he clears...

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Looks like Noesen is gonna play

Let’s hope he survives until the game. They don’t have anyone injured in warmups yet.

 

[ownal]

let’s hope he clears...

Wait any team can claim him?

 

[Andy99]

Wait any team can claim him?

yep...as long as they put him on their regular nhl team..

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I wonder why they put him on waivers? Trade?

Noesen signed.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

At this point I would just have to laugh if some petty motherf***er snagged him off of waivers just to give this team a hearty dick-kick while they are already on the mat.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Are they all 80?

Saying that Hornqvist "fell" and injured himself really reinforces that idea, imo.

It's starting to feel like this season is actually the new installment of Final Destination.

 

[Empoleon8771]

let’s hope he clears...

Noesen does not need to clear waivers, he only needs to clear waivers if he's being signed and then sent back down to WBS. Re-entry waivers aren't a thing anymore.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Jesse cracked the code.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Jesse cracked the code.

Geez. It even tried to warn the team by not going down after the first attempt.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Noesen SHOULD work with any C here atm:
G
McCann
Bleuger
Lafferty

As i mentioned earlier, his game is sorta Justin Williams-esque. He's not gonna burn guys with speed but he's smart, has an NHL shot and will go to the blue paint for the garbage.

I'd prefer bringing another speedster back up with him(AJ or Blender) and start sitting some regulars that just aren't doin' the job.
