Yeah this would only be for in-market fans. Out of market fans have ESPN+.

I can't get either.

I checked State College and they can use the new app.

Guessing this means Ned is out.

Post by **Gaucho** » Mon Apr 29, 2024 6:53 pm

or maybe it just means Waeber is out

He'll probably split with Blomqvist in WBS

Wild ride for Larsson. Drafted by Detroit as a junior in Sweden. Came over to the USHL, played a year. Went to Denver University for a year and was inexplicably signed. Failed miserably in the AHL, had to be sent to the ECHL. Then he got loaned to Allsvenskan (second-tier Swedish league), then got shuffled to the Danish League - which is a bad league...somewhere in here he completely blows his groin out. Like, major major groin surgery. Worked his way back. Got HV71 promoted back to the SHL. Then had a really nice year in Leksands (SHL).

I wouldn't view this as anything crazy. It's just organizational depth, I wouldn't read anything more into than that right now...

Even though Poulin has been around for seemingly forever, this is only his second contract with the org. He was still on his entry-level...

I wonder what they're gonna try to do with him...try to re-image his game into a grinding fourth line physical forward?

Well, as we've seen this past season, it wouldn't hurt to have a modicum of skill on the 4th line, however slight it may be.

I'm probably wrong but, from my understanding on CapFriendly, If he doesn't make the Pens roster, the possibility is there to be lost on waivers. Is that right or am I totally misreading it.

Correct.

He produced in wilkes this year. This is an important offseason

Post by **mikey** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:43 am

If he came in next season looking like a LHS Oskar Sundqvist, I'd be tickled pink.

Post by **MR25** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:47 am

Until they trade him for Reaves Deslauriers

Post by **mikey** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:25 am

Then again, if you're pulling **** like this late in an elimination up by 1...I guess Sundvist is a dream...

PIT22 LHS.

Yea that's some ***** ****

Post by **King Colby** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:50 am

He should be forced to watch that clip on loop all summer long

I hate cryptic tweets, especially when they're done by Kevin Weekes.

Post by **willeyeam** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:01 am

wonder what it is, something is happening for him to be here during playoffs. PWHL team perhaps? Not sure what pens related could be without getting leaked yet

Post by **meecrofilm** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:03 am

I assumed it was a random picture he found.

Post by **nocera** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:04 am

Yeah my guess is PWHL expansion where they'll show a bunch of images of Pittsburgh and then the team will play in Cranberry.

Post by **willeyeam** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:06 am

or maybe an ASG or outdoor game?

Post by **nocera** » Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:08 am

Maybe it's a followup to his previous tweet.
