AHL: WBS Penguins Thread: featuring Val Puus

[Honour Over Glory]

Nice hustle by Legare, no support.

They really are playing Sullys system to a T.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So much traffic there. Zo should have just fallen on him, the Kreider special.

All baby pens in the third. 10-1 shots or something.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol how the f*** is that the Pens penalty? Refs are so f***ing brutal. That's a game changer call right there. Refs wanting to change the outcome.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

At neutral a Squirts player interferes with a pens player. That should be incidentals.

Game managers gotta manage.

Game managers gotta manage.

Such a brutal call. Of all the things going on at that moment it was like, really? f***ing clowns.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Camera bloke needs to chill out with the jitters.

 

[Victor Z]

At least they don't spend half the time -- including while the game is in progress -- showing moronic crowd shots and replays of routine plays. That seems to happen a lot in WBS home games.

I’m not watching, but can I just ask: someone said the system WBS plays is trash, but I thought the club was supposed to play the same system as the Pens for development of the young players, to get them ready? If so, isn’t this team an indictment of Sullivan’s system then? Lol

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I did not realize they were playing tonight. Thought their first game this week was tomorrow. Some true fan I am...

Yeah. Although zooming in and moving side to side could be smoother.

Yes. System is ass. For two periods they were murdered in shots. Then in the third they decided to severely out shoot Hershey. But wbs is also an adventure in their own end.

Olson with two tonight with the EN.
2-0.
Shots 25 Squirts, 23 Wbs.

 

[Victor Z]

Morelli misses an open net for Hershey and then Olson with the empty netter to (probably) win it for the good guys.

Maybe not so fast there.... Hershey breaks the shutout it's 2-1 with 1:00 to go.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol what the f***!

stick breaks on the shot and they get the redirect and it’s 2-1.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Gruden makes it 3-1 with ENG.

SUCK IT HERSHEY

 

[Victor Z]

BTW, the Hershey guy doing the color on the feed is ex-Penguin midget prospect Mitch Lamoreaux. Pretty tough player back in his day (I saw him play in person in the early 80s) for someone 5'6.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Gruden had 1+1
Olson 2g

He was a f***ing tank.

Edit:

Gotta love that hockey hair.

I never could spell his last name right.

It's like the Fleury thing with some blokes here. Haha.

It was margarita night.

Puus, Zohorna, DOC and Poulin are fine middle six/complimentary prospects.
Legare, Kasper, Jordy, Hallander and Angelo are fine bottom six prospects.
WBS is just not a good team. The defense and system are kinda trash it seems.

Its depth quality but not high end. This is the price of being a top team for so long. This team could swap out any of those players for ZAR, Boyle and Simon and even Erod at this point and not miss a beat.

Swap ZAR out of one of them and use that cap space to upgrade on Kap.

I think you're overestimating most of our forwards - I don't think we have any top 6 prospects - at least on a serviceable NHL team. DOC and Zohorna have looked OK at the NHL level, especially O'Connor, but I don't see them as regulars in a decent top 6. Too early to tell on Poulin; he's a work in progress and clearly - IMO - not a lock for a middle six NHL role. Other than maybe Legare, my guess is most of those five you have as fine bottom six prospects will be mostly career AHL'ers. Definitely need time to restock and reload.

All you need is a piece of bubble gum and a chance.
