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

How the hell did this team slip to 2nd to last in the division? Prospects or no, it's a loaded team on paper by AHL standards.

1-0 middle 3rd atm. Haggerty scored it and has hit a post as well.

How they lined up with the new guys. Dunno if Sexton is injured or...

Haggerty's goal



ETA: 1-0 Final.
Muse with the shutout.

Our ahl coach is doing a good job of taking the lead from our nhl head coach brah.

Yeah. Seemed like another lazy hire, like Recchi.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Solid stuff. Shootout win after being down 4-1.
Swept the 3 games in 3 days weekend as well.

Lineup was:

Sexton didn't play this weekend so i assume he's injured...

 

[WayneSid9987]

On Sexton. Asked around. They believe it's work visa related.

Anyone that work in immigration just kindly deny his visa for the sake of WBS?

Sexton checked in last night. Scored in the shootout.

How's the coaching staff looking here?

Anyone with potential for a "call-up"?

Specifically, as an assistant? Anyone really gelling with players/moving people into positions to succeed?

Or are they vanilla coaches?

Donatelli's been a solid developmental guy, imo.
Dea, Blueger, Prow being some examples of nice progession(Johnson, DiPauli and others showing promise as well for non-rookies) and the only really top tier prospect he had was Sprong and look what he got out of him...
Something like 96wins-42? losses the last 2 seasons.
Forrest and Skalde are relatively new.
I'd like to know how much Forrest has helped Prow tho vs Donatelli.
Donatelli also coached USA to Silver at a recent Hlinka tourney.

So, really, not too bad for future possibilities. If the Big Pens go for a minor youth infused retool, it might help to bring one of those guys along to direct development---yeah yeah, NHL isn't for development.

Yea in terms of like if they wanted to boot Recchi and have a solid guy that knows all the prospects very well and has actually progressed them, they could do alot worse than Clark.

Lafferty and Angello having great rookie years too.

Lafferty and Angello having great rookie years too.

Was gonna mention them as well.
In terms of strictly development on the F's side, i like Donatelli alot.
Also forgot to mention his work with Kuhnackl and Rowney from his ECHL days and up.
ZAR too even with his physical limitations, Clark got alot out of him.
DiPauli had some injury problems the last 2 seasons but this season where he's been healthy theres been a nice progression.
He's not someone that i'd pine for to become a part of PIT's staff right at the moment since i prefer a guy with NHL experience like what Tocchet brought but in terms of having faith in developing the crop there is now and the crop thats gonna come in next, i have faith in the guy to bring them along nicely.

5-2 win. Haggerty with a hat trick. Blueger short handed and Lafferty.

Lineup was:

 

[Randy Butternubs]

That first line would make for an interesting fourth line.
