It might end up being Ruhwedal, he missed practice today because baby being born.

Maybe. I am just guessing they had Czurczman practice wherever they planned to put Ruhwedel which is what often happens when a guy misses practice for a reason like that but is expected to play the next game so everyone else practices with who they will play with.

That’s hilarious that all of the caps Russians can’t follow simple rules. What a leader Ovi is.

LAF was boosted to the top line for the Rags. I really hope the Pens are not the first team he erupts on....

That team is on the verge of being scary good, IMO. Unfortunately, they and the Bruins top my list of most hated teams.

They need to work on their defense but yea they are very close to owning this division.

Yea, you're not wrong there. Guess well see what happens. Our D has been a blender this year so far.

How come the majority of Pens fans have soured on Sullivan?

First round loss to Islanders 2 years ago, loss to Montreal in the Qualifiers this past year. He doesn't change things up. He's becoming like Bylsma

And next year they regain almost 9M in dead cap space and Smith's 4.35 M per year deal expires so they'll be able to fill some holes.

They’re saying a second tier level player / “coaches favorite” could get moved. Also stating that Rutherford is furious at reports that Zucker showed up to camp out of shape.

I've wondered about a couple others *cough Geno cough*, but not Zucker.

Same. And Kap showing up to his new job and gasping for air on every shift? I take back some of my anger of Sully playing ERod over him (but not for putting ERod on the top line which should never happen, ever).

Not to let the players off the hook, but why weren't the strength and conditioning coaches on top of this? I thought Sully ran a tight ship?

I find odd that RW brings up Rust as a trade candidate and says he has looked like a ghost so far. Well, he has 3 assists in 4 games playing alongside Malkin who has been a complete slug. Also, we're kinda short on RWs. And Rust only makes $3.5M this season and next - not exactly breaking the bank for what he brings. Oh, and he also plays top PP and PK. Trading him to "shake things up" would be the height of stupidity IMO. Yeah, I expect a drop-off from last season, but so what? He's still on a value contract.

Jesus Christ, Ruth needs (frank)ing fired or a thicker pair of glasses. Zucker has looked like the best player on the second line...

That "report" is BS. Zucker has been the only one skating on that line. Rust is the guy who looks out of shape. He's gassed after 15 seconds. Malkin at 35 will probably need another week or so to get his legs moving. Zucker has been doing what he can with two dragging linemates IMO.

I can't remember who wrote this, but it sounds like Roslovic might get 2nd. We still have one of those.

Dreger says the Pens are looking for a dman.

Rutherford should bench Sullivan a few games. Let Todd take over. That would shake things up.
