I see Plachta is a man's man!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

HA! As funny as that sounds... I'm betting Shane Doan's "barn" is not much like the one out back on my property that I keep chickens and dirty equipment in.

Back to Donatelli, he got off to a terrible start in Wheeling when he replaced Drulia midway through the 11-12 season. The 12-13 season wasn't much better. He isn't a good fit for this organization in my opinion. Wheeling had success with him in 13-14 and 14-15, but they were playing a much meaner, more physical game. That just happens to be the complete opposite of what this organization represents anymore. They should've just kept him in Wheeling.

I hope they go after someone legit in the summer. You never know when Pittsburgh might need to make a coaching change mid-season and nobody's on the market.

Knoblauch would be my pick, or maybe Derek Lalonde, but if someone like Todd Richards wants to come back to the AHL that'd be cool with me too.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Barry Goers as player coach is the only real solution.

I can see a place for a certain Craig Adams...

 

[Jacob]

Where is Goers anyway?

 

[clefty]

Busted his knee in preseason, I think.


Edit: And by knee I meant hip.

Is it better to be an AHL head coach or NHL assistant? Would nasredinne consider coming back to head coach? I also wonder if we could "promote" tocchet to there selling him as prep for being an NHL head coach again and find someone else to coach forwards. But tocchet might not be the best guy to coach talented young players.

 

[Jacob]

It's kind of a lateral move.

 

[clefty]

Depends what you want. Travis Green turned down an assistant job here because he wanted more seasons of head coaching under his belt.

 

[Jacob]

If a guy has a lot of assistant experience but no head coaching experience they'll move to the AHL to get that, like Mike Yeo did. Or you'll see the opposite, like Todd Richards going from Wilkes-Barre to the Sharks.

 

[sf expat71]

It's kind of a lateral move.

But the perks that come with traveling with the big club probably are important for guys like Tocchet or Martin.

 

[Jacob]

Yeah, guys like them, or even Granato, Samuelsson or Kitchen, aren't ever going back to the AHL. They don't really care about padding their resume or even getting back to HC gigs.

 

[Shrimper]

Goers making his first start

Jeffrey assist already.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Wbs is absolutely gutted compared to the beginning of the year. Warsofsky, wilson, Poliout, Rust, Murray, kuhanckl all gone. Sheary and sundqvist injured. There are also guys like uher, archibald, and porter but i dont know how big of an impact their losses make.

Yeah, adding Jeffrey was a big help. What's Sundqvist's injury?

The positive with Murray being up is Jarry is going to pile up more starts. He wasn't going to crack even 30 behind Murray but now it looks like he'll reach maybe 35.

Good for his development, but as far as I'm concerned, the positive with Murray being up is Zatkoff not playing.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Jarry picked up a 36 save shutout tonight.

Jeffrey/Simon seem to have instant chemistry.
Simon 2G
Jeffrey 2A
Dea 1G

Simon's 2nd was pretty slick.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Jarry is doing well.

Man, if Jarry can play well with this depleted line-up in front of him, and Murray keeps doing Murray things, I don't wanna get ahead of myself but I don't think the Pens have ever had this kind of goaltending depth in their 50 year history. And Maguire is doing well too I hear.

Its undisclosed. All we know is that he'll be out a couple of weeks.

 

[Jacob]

Okay, at least it's not serious.
