AHL: W-B/S Penguins Thread (Cap Details + Links in First Post)

[Speaking Moistly]

They had Kessel, Crosby, Malkin, and Hornqvist on that roster. They fell in love with his shot and then when he was struggling, completely forgot that after that 9 game mark, they are burning his elc. Because Sprong that year even at the 9 game mark did not look like a guy that should be in the NHL for as many games as he did stick.

The coach got fired during his time up, so yeah...not sure what JR was doing allowing that to happen and I get the sense it was JR that forced that. Good pre-season or not, the regular season started and the kid was up and down.

Yeah, but what did they have after those 4 and behind H&K on the wing? Perron was the best winger after them and he didn’t fit seamlessly. Then Dupuis returning again, an ancient Kunitz, Fehr coming off surgery and missing the start of the season, Bennett who couldn’t stay healthy and whatever else. Scuderi was still being an anchor on the D as well. They were desperate for a fast, skilled offensive threat. He just shouldn’t have stayed up past those 9 games because he wasn’t forcing it, the team was a mess, he was stuck on L4 and the coach was a mess. Cooler heads should have prevailed.


JR probably did force the issue and it was a mistake, but I think the mistake stemmed from having limited depth on the wings to start the season. They were also coming off a year where they barely made the playoffs and had no depth.

4-2 loss today. Burton had the other goal. Noticed Angello was in the paint being an annoyance on both goals.
Can't find how they lined up today on the twitters.

Di Pauli - Blueger - Hayes
Miletic - Lafferty - Angello
Johnson - Olund - Haggerty
Cramarossa - Burton - McGrath

Czuczman - Prow
O'Neill - Elliott
Taylor - Erixon

DiPauli's heatin' up...



How they lined up:

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

10 points, +5, and 25 shots in the last 9 games. Not too bad.


If only we had an open LW spot on the big club.

I don't know if he is ready but if he is what we would want him to be he would fall on that third line with Brass and kessel ooh perfect

How they lined up:

Wasn’t Olund 4C at he beginning of the year? Has he really passed TB on the depth chart?

Literally thought that was a real quote at first glance (name shorthand notwithstanding).

I'm not sure their line cards mean that much.

That sure would be nice. Especially with Hags gone.

As much as I want to see him called up I'm not mad about it. It makes sense to me to keep him in the situation he's in. I figure if he's just starting to find his offensive game then it might be better to not disrupt him and let him play things out for a while.

Who is Dea going to push out of the lineup for WBS?

 

[The Old Master]

Who is Dea going to push out of the lineup for WBS?

who ever comes up. I hope.

 

[vodeni]

who ever comes up. I hope.

with the stats that Dea had in NJ he would be playing with Sid here

 

[Honour Over Glory]

who ever comes up. I hope.

Who do we all want to see up the most, the opposite of that.

lol, , but true, that's so sad.

Likely: Josephs back DOWN to Wheeling rather than anyone UP to Pittsburgh.

[WayneSid9987]

Currently 1-0 Rochester in the 3rd.
Militec left due to injury i believe.
How they lined up:



Dea has 6 SOG with 6 or so left in the 3rd.



ETA: 1-0 Final.

Josephs got into the lineup last night and assisted on Angello's breakaway goal above. Dea picked up 2 assists.



Angello leads in goals 8 with a couple games played less than the others and is 3rd on the team with a +7.
