GDT Pens at Wings Last pre-season

[offsides]

No one ever accused the Wings announcers of being impartial

Also of note, Orpik hasn't played since there was :42 left in the 2nd

Hope he is OK. Didn't look like anything serious.

Are the Pens going to some kind of team building thing this weekend?

[Gaucho]

West Point, I believe.

[columbia]

I can't wait for Dejan's disapproving article on that.

[penny lane]

Pens stars played stinky Monday; good to see them taking this game more serious.
I hope Brooks didn't tweak something or another.

[luv66]

Just a sick PP. The talent, just unreal.

Yes, it is nice to see the PP look like it can/should. Granted their top PK wasn't out.


... yea Bort!

I can't wait for Dejan's disapproving article on that.

Glad to say I don't read or listen to anything he writes or says.

[Lt. Dish]

Nice job, Pens!

Let's not go overboard here. The Wings dressed a minor league goalie and barely any regulars. That's the way the game should look when you're pretty much dressing your regular lineup.

Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you, party-pooper.

Post game comments from Bylsma say it is nothing serious and sitting him was precautionary.

So he'll be out for 6-8 weeks?

[Beveridge]

Engo took him out to make sure he had playing time.

"He's a ... relatively ... young veteran," Dupuis said of Crosby. "He looks 30, but I think he's 20- ... 6? If you look at his number, he was born in '87. It gives it away."
Crosby, who famously wears his birth year as his uniform number, shot back, "It took [Dupuis] a while to get that. He's a late bloomer."
Dupuis shrugged.
"Some guys are late bloomers; some guys are silver spooners," he jabbed.

Can't take away to much from this game, yeah its nice to see the guys play well but with Detroits line up can't act like we really beat the Red Wings.

[Beveridge]

Now that preseason is over, I think my vote for best looking player goes to Bort.

It's a shame we missed out on preseason last year for games and that every game was important because of a short season.

I'll assume you're not referring to physical attractiveness and agree that he really seems to be much improved. I was pretty much ready to waive/demote him to ease the cap crunch and logjam on defense prior to training camp, but he's outplayed Engelland and probably Despres and looks like a solid, physical bottom-pairing guy.

He missed a great opportunity to say that Dupuis wore his birth year as well...

[columbia]

I guess that answers which clique those three are on, in the infamous locker room war.

[Beveridge]

When does Letang choke slam flower and rip off his jersey revealing his Line 1 t-shirt underneath?

Only if he didn't hurt his neck meat, then it'll be 8-12 weeks.

Bort's been missing from this team since Hal Gill. Now we get both Scuderi-Bortuzzo...should be a big boost to the defense. I wonder if they'll end up paired together down the line.

It's disappointing that Despres is getting marginalized, but hopefully Shero opens up room for him soon.

At the worst, the team opens up 3 spots at the end of this season.

Sweet goal by Jussi

I know you don't like Niskanen and want him traded. I guess that is why you couldn't even mention his name and compliment him on a nice pass.
