This is a team Sheary has difficulty with. Not sure about him on the #1 tonight. Switch him and Jake up if Sheehan is gonna be 3C.

Where did you read this?

It looks like JR may go big for Kane. He's never quiet about who he wants. And, he goes all in if he thinks a guy is that important....think Staal, Kessel. That seems to be his main target....although, letestu would be nice too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sheary moved for Kane. He's a GMJB guy and a pretty good player. Might be a good trade of pens can lock up Kane.

Holy (frank).... Gaborik is still playing?

Sheary did just make muzzin completely miss that hit though.

Um... what?

He’s just having one of his emoji episodes again.

I read on TIOPS, so take it for what it's worth, that Botts rejected an offer for Kane.

We need to find an Australian to English translator.

Maybe. PittsburghHockeyNow is the latest place to report Pens interest in Kane. I'm thinking it'll take Sheary, B level prospect and a pick.... I think that pick lowers the closer deadline becomes.

It seems like that might be what the offer was. TIOPS opined that JR is the type of GM that whatever he offered won't change.

Oleksiak is a smart player.

Sit sprong...add dea who can't finish a period and sheary back up killing the first line. I guess the 5 or so multiple point games from sid wasn't worth continuing......

You better not have jinx DeSmith my man!

JR seems to be the type of guy who throws his best offer out there and just let's it marinate. Probobly why he doesn't "steal" players like Shero...but it gets the job done.

I don't think that Botts will get much more than that so it could still happen.

We stole him. Ruth killed his in-season deals again.

That article I linked last blog said JR himself is finding it hard to judge the market as there are so many teams in the hunt. Going to take some luck me thinks.

I really don't get the kane love here. I don't want his crap anywhere near our locker room. He is an arrogant baby that whines his way off every team he has played for. I don't see that attitude coming to a pens team and changing.

Seriously, finding a pair of cheap, mid twenties players for almost nothing to play key depth roles.

Vic just jinxed DeSmith. I said earlier I feel that the Pens are going to Romper Stomper the 3rd period - you know that film Romper Stomper? Russel Crowe stars in an Australian film about Aussie nazis in Melbourne (I think it's filmed in MElboirne). Head stomping film. So in short we are going to have a good 3rd period! (frank) me!

I don't really want him long term, but I'd love to see him for a cup run. I still think a 3c is the biggest hole, but Crosby and Kane would be fun to watch IMO.

The Romper Stomper part was the only thing I got lol

Sheary botching another glorious chance...clean ice in the slot No one near him...botch.

Does Hunwick realize he plays defense? Is this guy trying to get traded or demoted? What a brain dead decision.

That was the Pens best offensive shift of the game.

I was wondering what was going on there. He was the last man back and he started in the zone!
