OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS BLUE JACKETS 4/4/15

When did we acquire this Chorney guy? I honestly don't remember.

One of Shero's AHL depth signings

OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS BLUE JACKETS 4/4/15

I don't know how to evaluate that period. We scored one, but.... I dunno. Wasn't bad. I think it was a real good period. Pretty tidy defensively against a team that can be tough to defend if you're a little on the softer side, which we are on the back end without Letang certainly...boxing out well,...

What If The Pens Dont Make The Playoffs?

Is it weird i am fine with them talking about getting a sense of urgency that they are not in the playoffs as of yet. I feel like the past few years we clinched than coasted into the playoffs Its feel like now they need to engage the switch before the make the playoffs not engage it during the playo...

Injury discussion and whatnot

maybe i could be wrong, i really think Malkin has a groin injury. (no pun intended)

Since he first went out with injury he has comes back and played and had some phenomenal skating games and other that i saw and he was just meh

What If The Pens Dont Make The Playoffs?

oh and for the record, I'm picking the Pens to win the cup. Not that this team is any different, I always pick my teams to win. Before the Broncos going 3-13 in 2010 I had them winning the Super Bowl.

I like having hope.

Pens recall Taylor Chorney

Good to see the GM committee finally read the rules around emergency recall after a month of this crap. I think the guys that do this for a living and and live and breath the cap and CBA have a way better understanding than we do. I dont think anyone in management wanted to play with only 5 defense...

What If The Pens Dont Make The Playoffs?

the thing about the metro, and the east in general, is that I would not be surprised if any of the 8 teams make the SC finals. The Pens could very well do it, the Isles can, the Rags can, the Caps can, the Canadiens can, the Wings can, the Lightning can (but are the least likely imo) and the Bruins...

Meow's Morning Meeting - 4-1-15 vs. PHI

the last win we had against a legitimately good team was on March 6 against the ducks. the last time we beat a team ahead of us in the standings in the east was January 10. i wasn't really fooled when we were squeaking out W's against marginal teams like SJ and bottom feeders like ARI. we haven't s...

Meow's Morning Meeting - 3-29-15 vs. SJ

i always thought geno should be the QB on the PP, he is a dual threat to shoot to shoot or pass. Crosby is way to often pass first

Meow's Morning Meeting - 4-1-15 vs. PHI

One positive i like out of this game is the Winnik-Crosby-Hornqvist line Winnik and Hornqvist just create havoc in the offensive zone, the tie up opposing players in the offensive zone and give more time to crosby. On Crosby's goal, both where in front of the net, they also work the boards very well...

Meow's Morning Meeting - 4-1-15 vs. PHI

Side question-since Malkin missed the game last night, can the Pens call up a player under the "emergency basis" rule? Does it have to be a forward, or can it be a defenseman? Any skater. So, to answer directly, it can be a defenseman. Provided he makes under $650,000. Good god, it can't be... .......

Yep. No reason to think positively at all. Let's just resign to lose ASAP so we can get on with the off season. Look, I understand that we've felt like this before, and recently, but come on guys. With this team what else do we have left to do than hope for a miracle? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Yes and not only that, Lapierre is inherently replaceable...and like you said, I wonder if Sundqvist isn't on this team by January or February of next season... Lapierre has that trash talking, getting inside a guys head which is really tough to replace. You can also let Sundqvist play wing for a y...

Steve Downie

I want to see how he controls himself in the playoffs, i think this entire year has been tocchet working with him to get him to a point they can unlease him in the playoffs without it costing us penalties left and right. He has such a great tool set for a third liner.
