ALEX GOLIGOSKI

[Why So Serious?]

Alex Goligoski, let me tell you. He is going to be fantastic. And for anyone, that is still doubting him, shame on you for. Granted, he doesn't shoot the puck as much as I'd like him to, but boy, he played his best game in an NHL uniform tonight. Great performance by him and the whole defense in general. Looks like this crew is starting to come together. LET'S GO PENS!!

He was solid tonight. Through three games, he's an even +/-. His offense will come around, but as long as he's good in his own end, that's all I care about.

Golgowosikizi is a bum. Everyone here thinks that he is going to be horrible. You have no idea what you are talking about if you think he has any chance of ever being good. How dare you question people who think that he isn't good now?

[Bob McKenzie]

He was solid the other night too. I'm really impressed with him. His shooting will come. Imagine being on the PP with Malkin, Sid, Sykora, and Satan. He's probably not comfortable shooting the puck with those guys out there now. It'll come. His instincts are great.

Goglebowski?

I agree. I thought he was great the other night as well. And the way he was capable of keeping the pucks in the zone during the PP was great. Kid is gonna be a beast.

You may call him "his dudeness".

[littlemoonboot]

He really tied the PP together, man.

I noticed at the opener that John Barbaro announced his name as Alex GOALigoski. He held the GOALLLLLL part for a few seconds.

[Bob McKenzie]

Do I think he is going to be good, yes, but for God's sakes.. Shoot..

It's only been a couple of games. He's not Sergei Zubov as a Penguin now

Guess I'm not watching the same person. Hesitant to shoot on the PP, didn't keep the puck in several times, physically manhandled in his own zone at least a half dozen times. Definitely needs more seasoning, if it weren't for the injuries to Gonchar and Whitney. Great skater, for sure. No evidence of a good first pass yet.

Goglebowski?

Gradikowski?

His last name is clearly of Polish origin.
It is intriguing that "Gol" in Polish means exactly "Goal"

[newarenanow]

He looked good. He is going to be a great player, but he isn't ready to take over for Gonchar just yet.

But in due time, he'll be fine.

[cerp66]

He's already an untouchable. You use Letang or Whitney in a trade, if you need to, before GoGo for sure.

[Tico Rick]

The only thing he's lacking is experience.

Thank you. I agree with this. I see glimpses of what he'll eventually be, but he looked completely lost on the PP last night.

I don't agree with that. I hope you are being sarcastic, because if a guy is untouchable after only 6 NHL games, then the Pens are in big trouble.

He's definitely not an untouchable. He shows signs of being a good offensive defenseman, but isn't there yet. He looks confused on the power play right now. In his own zone, his ceiling is probably "adequate". I thought the Flyers were running him whenever they got the chance. Twice they bowled him over at the point and he went flying.

I like him, but his ceiling is nowhere near Letang's, let alone Whitney or Gonchar.

I agree with this sentiment. He has done a great job filling in for Whitney and Gonchar, and has showed signs that he will be a good player, but he clearly is not ready to take over as the teams premier offensive defenseman, and he shouldn't be expected to 6 games into his NHL career (2 games last year).

He has struggled on the PP. That is his biggest problem right now IMO. He has done a good job, but nothing to start doing cartwheels over.

Young defenseman ~ exhibit `1 ~ brooks orpik , takes time, maybe years to mature.
R Whitney and Kris Letang not even close to tapping in to all of their skills on a consistent basis.
With Gogligoski, same as the others, there will be good games and not so good.

Letang played a good game too last night.

[spi]

Another great sign from The Dude was his ability to keep the puck in the zone on the PP. I thought he was excellent last night at that.

My question for yinz is, who do you think has more upside. The Tang or The Dude???

Me personally, I think the Tang.
