Kolarik tied for AHL Scoring Lead - Post season callup?

Post by Penspal »

Chad Kolarik's 2 goals from last night have vaulted him into a tie for the AHL scoring lead with former Penguin Jeff Taffe.

Kolarik was acquired in a trade with the Rangers a few months back, and he's done well with the Baby Pens. He seems a little small, but he is consistently scoring and he's working on a new celebration move when he does score. (slow bend and scoop)

Post season callup? -Nope

He's an AHL player just like Jeff Taffe (and Sterling/Minard/Bourque), but not a fit for the NHL.

This team has plenty of depth as well.

Yeah, your most likely right, BUT, those guys did get a cup or two of coffee in the bigs. If injuries hit hard (praying they don't) we might see him.

If injuries hit hard?

We were without our top 2 centers, top winger, and still had a roster player healthy scratched last night.

He got a trick last night, with the last one in overtime! I'd like to at least see him play a few shifts for the big club one day..... we can dream.
