Prime? Pens games were pay per view so I would watch them scrambled. Or was that Pensvision?

Thats very interesting considering they're all still in their own communities, despite being told to be extra careful this week.

Final Training Camp Scrimmage

Sidney Crosby did not participate, instead skating on his own over on the Covestro Innovation Rink. He did speak with the media afterward, saying he's hoping to practice with the team on Monday but will ultimately take things day-by-day.

Things got heated late in the second period after Brandon Tanev stood up Jared McCann as he drove to the net. After he picked himself up, McCann skated to the bench and let Tanev know that he didn't like that, and they nearly dropped the gloves before the coaching staff stopped it.

I hope Sid sits out today.

I hope Sid plays, but limited minutes. Game speed against the Flyers would probably benefit, even if he is Sidney Crosby and probably does not need it. If only to give Guentzel some time with him as a linemate in a "real" game.

This is where I'm at, as well. Similar to an NFL preseason game. Let the teams put a few extra guys on the bench for this purpose alone.

He'd be brain dead to do anything else

Honestly, most teams should be doing this

Unless I remember incorrectly, aren't they allowing 13F, 7D for the one exhibition game?

They very well may be. I haven't followed this closely at all outside of this thread.

Traditionally, I thought the NHL allowed 20 skaters in exhibition games...but either way, if Sid is good enough to go, he should play some minutes, play some power play...

Do we need a GDT for this thing?

Post by **Dickie Dunn** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 3:55 pm

It’s such a relief to see line combinations and know there is no chance of Simon infecting them.
