He's not to blame but with Sid getting back into the lineup someone had to sit

Well lets all thank jesus that Derek Grant will still be in the lineup. When Sullivan was hired I immediately wondered when he would have his Alex Edler moment with this team. Wonder if he's made Sprong cry yet.

I hope that Sprong's skin is a bit more resilient than his hair line.

He's Danish. Other than wooden shoes I know zero stereotypes about the Danes, so I'm just going to do what I always do and assume he's a *****.

He hits like a pansy.

He's Dutch.

Got to go with the hot hand.

Good thing they'll be on the ice tonight, they can apply it directly to that

Dark meat Turkey > white meat don't @ me

Is this even debatable?

Postby **MR25** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:03 pm

According to ESPN, apparently.

So we are playing with 5 centers tonight and scratch a scoring winger for center Derek Fing Grant. Makes sense

That's the 2011 Calder Cup winner you are trashing, sir.

"scoring winger"

Postby **Gaucho** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:39 pm

He should play, though.

Kind of random, but...

My son wants a Penguins popsocket for his phone (it's one of those pop out stands for cell phones). The ones on eBay look sketchy, as do some of the sellers. Have yinz seen one around town or the Pens gear store? I would gladly pay for one to get shipped to me.

They didn't scratch a scoring winner, they scratched Sprong.

Great shift.

Saw this the other day. Great stuff.

Penguins fan who pleaded for kidney has successful transplant surgery

Kelly Sowatsky got what she wished for.

The Lancaster County woman’s plea for help finding a kidney at a Pittsburgh Penguins game last season resulted in a successful surgery this month after another Pens fan saw a sign she made bearing her phone number.

The team reported Wednesday that Bethel Park native Jeff Lynd saw Sowatsky’s sign on the Penguins social media accounts and offered his organ .

“My heart just started racing because I had this instinct that I was going to be the one that was going to be selected for it,” Lynd, who lives in Delaware, told Pens Inside Scoop.

Sowatsky had been on a transplant waiting list after falling ill on Christmas Eve in 2015. She eventually got sepsis as a result of an infection and her kidneys were damaged. At the time of her Nov. 6 surgery, her kidney was functioning at 9 percent.

The new organ — nicknamed “Sidney the Kidney” — was functioning at 99 percent post-surgery, Pens Inside Scoop reported.

Both Sowatsky and Lynd are doing well.

That should be a suspension on Ritchie.. That hit was absurdly late.
