He'd still be one of the fastest players in the league...Ducks get slower, but younger...

Kind of an odd deal, maybe it's just a shake up trade...Shore is smart and can dish, Cogs is fast and has no offense...

Shore is someone I wouldn't have minded the Penguins going after for 3C.

People are still out there trying to treat shots as equal...God bless'em... Sprong's average shot distance is something like 36 feet. I'd say the graph posted is complementary to that information - he isn't getting himself into the scoring areas, and the shots that he is getting on net aren't quali...

https://twitter.com/404ResponseCode/status/1066351228408475648?s=19 Sprong's average shot distance is 36.41 feet. Only Patrik Laine and Mike Hoffman have consistently scored from that type of distance. Perhaps if Sprong were to find a way to try to create more offense in the zone and higher quality...

Take it to the bad takes thread bub... There's a whole website for it, HFboards. HFPens is on a Kovalchuk to Pitt train. Who are the Pens trading for the fake Kovy? I saw they had interest and left. I intake enough garbage as it is. Rust, Sheahan, Cullen, and Grant....ie....all our bad forwards for...

Mackey said it so I can’t be true

Actually Morehouse said it, so what's that mean?

From Jason Mackey's 20 Penguin Thoughts yesterday: There’s one sweater I wished the Penguins would’ve picked: black, diagonal “PITTSBURGH” … the “Gin and Juice” jerseys. “I like the diagonal Pittsburgh thing, too,” Morehouse said. “You may see that at some point in the third jersey.” We can only hop...

I wrote some stuff about Matt Murray and goalie injuries around the NHL. Read it. Or don't.

Which team played a game last night? Kind of seems like the Penguins. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy play.

I expect that Dumoulin, who is a game time decision, will be in the lineup, and the scratches to be Riikola, Ruhwedel, and Grant.

https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/wilson-gets-20-games.2551221/ It's all Sid's fault... I find it funny that Caps fan don't get the concept of repeat offender. 50% of them, all they are looking at is that one play and crying a river how unfair a guy getting 20 games for that hit, totally ignor...

Nice. That sends a legit message...you're a bully, ******* cut the ****... Yep. I was hoping for 10, and thinking 20 was the right number. Nice to hear DOPS state in the video that only 16 games of any type have passed since Wilson's last suspension, also for a headshot AND that in his past 105 gam...

20 games for Wilson

https://www.nhl.com/video/wilson-suspen ... c-61556003

Sportsnet reports Tom Wilson was hearing at 10:15am and is now over. I'd expect a decision to down around 2pm or so.

So I guess we won't have a third jersey this year?? I swear that we were supposed to be getting one, but haven't seen anything mentioned. I found one article that stated we may get one next season, but it was the only source, so I'm hesitant to trust it. The Penguins are supposed to be getting 3rd ...

Depending on how the season goes for him, and what his contract demands would be, I'd be open to it. Right, it's a big IF right now. If you recall, early in camp, I floated the idea of Riikola allowing the Penguins to move Schultz, which was more based on Schultz cap hit and current term. But, for ...

Trade Maatta for a good young LW, keep Riikola.

Jarry will go to WBS as soon as he is healthy. If it is past Thursday, then Jarry will start on SOIR (Season Opening IR) because he can't be sent to the AHL while injured. Nice to see Riikola make the team, but Sullivan is going to have his hands full trying to get him into some games. Sully is goin...

Was posted in an NPR thread.

Sorry, forgot about that thread.

If you guys haven't seen it yet, Tom Wilson was being Tom Wilson today, drilling former Penguins (now Blue) Oscar Sundqvist with a dirty blindside hit. I have the video of that hit, and a bunch of other top "hits" from Wilson in a new blog post. NHL needs to Raffi Torres him at this point. https://r...

Putting Sprong with Cullen isn’t the worst idea. It's pretty close. Not a fan. I don't even need to see Sprong with Crosby, but would have thought at a minimum 3rd line. I am well aware it won't be forever, but, JFC they gave Simon 33 games, 2/3 of which he did nothing but skate around. This really...

Frederik Tiffels on waivers today... Unconditional waivers......for purpose of terminating his contract. According to Taylor Haase of DK Sports, he wants to go back home and play in Germany with his brother. As a 6th round pick who turns 24 in May, and spent the majority of last season in Wheeling ...

Yeah, that seems untenable...in all facets... I better watch more of last night's game (I was tied up in 2019 draft stuff, so could only catch splotches of it)...if he's able to replace a 40-point, top-4 NHL d-man in any regard, that would be sensational...that notion is crazy to me with my limited...

Riikola looked good. Can he be sent to WB w/o waivers? How did Sprong look last night? Riikola is on an entry level contract but since he's 24 I'm not totally sure. Guys on HFboards seem to think he could be sent down, fwiw. I think he could play but time in WBS getting used to the smaller rink and...
