Pretty good idea in terms of deployment...Avs are fast and play fast. I would suspect Maatta gets at least 16 or 17 minutes against the slower, more defensive Habs tonight...

[Silentom]

I'm SO ready for the new away jerseys tonight.

New tif...

Fredrik Tiffels, a player that have some moderate hope for, he's #19 LHS LW...

Is there a reason the Pens decided to celebrate 50 years this year instead of next year? I know they were awarded the franchise in 1966, but their first season was 67-68. The 50 year celebration should be next year.

[Gaucho]

It's their 50th season. That is, if you include 2004-05.

50th year, yes, counting from 1967.

Crosby skates, Crosby scores.

[relantel]

Crosby is still stuck on 600 assists, but is on the path to 1000 points and 2nd all-time on the Penguins assist list. 61 to the former and 40 (to tie)/41 (to pass) on the latter.

Letang participated in the practice today on the top line, without a non-contact jersey.

Chris Dahlquist, who was traded to the North Stars during the first cup season in a deal that included Larry Murphy coming our way, was known as the "Donkey Slayer" because of certain predilections.

Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to a weekly injury report / call-up thread. If we kept it compartmentalized enough.

@Morkle I support this. Compromise, baby.

Then take the bull by the horns dude. Lets see how it looks.

Hmph, Beau didn't get his name on the Cup...

[Gaucho]

Do you have a list of the names?

[dodint]

Do you have a list of the names?

Here are the obscure ones:

William Kassling, minority owner
Travis Williams, chief operating officer
Dr. Dharmesh Vyas, head team physician
Curtis Bell, assistant athletic trainer
Patrick Steidel, assistant athletic trainer
Andy O'Brien, director of sports science and performance
Alex Trinca, strenght and conditioning coach
Ted Richards, assistant equipment manager
Jon Taglianetti, assistant equipment manager
Jim Britt, director of team operations
Dan MacKinnon, director of player personnel
Randy Sexton, director of amateur scouting
Derek Clancey, director of professional scouting

And this is the engraving:



Above list from DKs site, outside of the paywall.

Thanks!

This is going to be a fun thread.

I find it interesting that the Pens went:

Front Office Hierarchy
Coach Hierarchy
Support Staff Hierarchy
Player Captain
Alphabetical Players

Looking at the Blackhawks, who put Daniel Carcillo nearly last, there doesn't appear to be a set standard.

[Blue Canary]

Penguins nuggets, eh?

Taste like chicken?

[dodint]

Fish.

[relantel]

Easily 2/3 of the space for non-players. But not that out of line compared to the previous engraving, with one more line of players names on the Blackhawks' imprint.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Beau not being on there isn't surprising really but Gonchar being left off is a bit of a surprise given how much they seemed to talk about his influence.
