Training Camp Thread Part Two - Drozg didn't make the team

[Scandale du Jour]

I believe Drozg will wear 69 as a tribute to his two favorite players.

I hear he is a pretty big Doug Glatt fan.

I hear he is a pretty big Doug Glatt fan.

I once saw him scissor kick Angela Lansbury.

Dominik Simon playing on the Flames top line with Monahan and Gaudreau. TIL Sullivan also coaches the Flames

Maybe he'll get 9 goals this year and set a career best?

I hear he is a pretty big Doug Glatt fan.

I thought it was because it's halfway between Lemieux and Hornqvist.

Bit of a write up on the new guys

 

[Pens x]

[SEALBound]

Do people expect drozg will ever play for the pens?

Not likely but he's my new "hopeful" now that Zlobin took a hike and didn't make it.

It's amazing the long term psychological damage the Penguins have done it when just reading the first couple of words spikes my blood pressure. Then I'm like "oh...oh, happy tweet. Oh good. Thank god. No more happy tweets Pens".

"These were not the guys I would have signed or traded for therefore they will perform badly".

*I have not read the article.

I don't know what's weirder, that we're on the eve of the hockey season starting in the middle of January or that I don't feel like it's been much more than a month since we lost to Montreal. Also several lifetimes.

Read it. It’s a quality write up.

It doesn't really count for a ton because Sullivan loves to play with his lines, but I think the fact that they're still running with these lines and pairs means that some things that we thought were set in stone (Pettersson-Marino and Tanev-Blueger duos) aren't actually set in stone. Which is good to see.

Quality, accurate and non-homer, meaning there’s only a smidgen of optimism to present on these very flawed players lol....

I like this lineup. This is shockingly close to what everyone here predicted. I like the balance of the bottom 6 lines and I like the pairings.

Only thing wrong...ERod on that top pairing. Yesh.

Evan Rodrigues is on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel. And he will be there forever.

I see this fourth line actually working unless Lafferty goes into his game mode (suck), hopefully he bring some of his practice/camp form. The third line looks like 3 guys that may never clicked together, but who knows...will watch carefully....I am really hyped about our defense, it could potentially have three good pairings, guys that get rid of pucks quickly, and guys that can pinch smartly....can't f***ing wait till tomorrow...

They are all getting their camp participation ribbions and JR promised them a pizza party afterwards.

They must have showed the boys the cardboard cutout of Pens X they’ll be using this year.

We need to find a middle ground between pencilling 6th round picks into future lineups then being bummed when they’re not NHLers at 21 and completely writing off 19 year old 1st rounders because of a poor scrimmage.
