From the Penguins:

PENGUINS FORWARD TYLER KENNEDY TO MISS FOUR TO SIX WEEKS

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tyler Kennedy will miss four to six weeks with a sprained knee, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero. Kennedy suffered the injury on December 3 against the New York Rangers and has been placed on injured reserve

KENNEDY!!!!

Puke City.

Get well TK, you have played well this year.

Anyone know if Afinegenov or Gaborik are available?

[DocEmrick]

That hurts, Kennedy was having a great start to the season. Hope this injury doesn't affect his speed and grit.

[SoupOrSam]

Maybe a blessing in disguise. We can now try out Pesonen on a top6 role...?

I hope that's sarcasm; otherwise my head will explode.

[SoupOrSam]

Actually it's not.

bump /\

6 more weeks of Minard.

Get well soon, TK

[T.K.]

minard time!

[DelPen]

6 more weeks of Minard.

Get well soon, TK

Kennedy is young, it'll be 4 weeks. But that's still 10+ games which is going to really suck.

[Corvidae]

That's bad. Maybe if Minard doesn't work out Shero will pull a minor trade, or make a Mantis-like acquisition.

Kennedy wasn't in the top 6. Why would his replacement?

[Why So Serious?]

Dupuis-Crosby-Satan
Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora
Cooke-Staal-Talbot
Minard/Pesonen-Zigomanis-Godard

Boy, Fedotenko really seems like he doesn't wanna sit in the pressbox anymore. He is really starting to stick with Geno and Sykie. And Talbot is a more than adequate replacement for Kennedy on that line, in terms of energy, grit, battling along the boards, and doing the little things.

[Eismann]

Kennedy???

[npv708]

how bout dupuis fitting in on sid's line, he played good. really really good.

[Mongoose87]

That's bad. Maybe if Minard doesn't work out Shero will pull a minor trade, or make a Mantis-like acquisition.

Minard+Pesonen = Kovalchuk.

[DMcGrew]

ugh

[bakeman81]

Cooke-Staal-Minard.

[Corvidae]

That's bad. Maybe if Minard doesn't work out Shero will pull a minor trade, or make a Mantis-like acquisition.

Minard+Pesonen = Kovalchuk.

Still wouldn't beat the Mantis acquisition.

[penny lane]

That's a shame. Kennedy was putting in quality minutes for the penguins this year.
Chris Minard, in his one game stint, plays a smiliar game to Kennedy's.

Yes, he did.
It was nice to see and I agree with the FedEx comments made elsewhere in this thread. Both seem to be upping their forechecking game nicely.

[shmenguin]

crud.

as of now, talbot will give you about half of what kennedy does at even strength. now is his time to earn a real contract.
