GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

[Dennis Reynolds]

Tomorrow's roster has so much yuck. I don't even want to watch.

I probably will.

But right now I'm saying I won't.

Hayes, Hayes, Glass, Gruden, Acciari, Johnstone, Koppanen, and Imama make me very, very soft.

Interesting…why? Buffalo isn’t going to be sending it’s NHL roster this time so I’m not sure why we need to see McG again for example…

He's looking to make the team so he should play any opportunity that he gets.

There are 7 preseason games. Sid and Geno and the established guys only need 3-4 max to get ready. The rest are fighting for spots, either here or in WBS.

Guys like McGroarty, Poulin, Puustinen, Puljujarvi, etc. are going to play a bunch.

Sid and Geno didn't play until Game 4 of the preseason last year. The Pens play Ottawa in that showcase game in their fourth game this year. Bet that's when we see the big guns again this year.

Yeah but let’s see him with Sid and Rust or Eller if they’re looking to play him in the NHL, and other NHL players, as well as against NHL players

I mean I wouldn’t play Sid and G except for a game or two lol…
I meant more that, if the Pens are legit looking at these guys and giving them a chance at a roster spot, they 1) should be playing with other NHL players and 2) should be playing against NHL players to see how they do…I’m just guessing Buffalo won’t be playing many NHL players this game,unlike last one, because teams rarely do onthe road, but who knows…
This is my version of saying “they aren’t really interested in McG (for example) as a possible candidate to start the season in the NHL”…

I dont think ive read Poulins name a single time since camp started? not anything good, or bad, just invisible man stuff.

Because he sucks?
