Yah, they also need sub 7 minutes of ice time and a public dressing down. Don’t you know anything about developing players Willy?

Sorry sorry...

Ahem

"DO YOU EVEN PK BRO?!?"

Crosby with the assist (1600) on a Malkin PP goal (500).

It shall be done.

It is hilarious that we are scratching our top tier prospect and not sending him to the AHL…

So entirely predictable.

No WBS game since Sunday until Friday. I’m curious if they send him down for that.

KrisLetAngry · 2024-10-16T13:41:32-0400

Going to be a tough game Tage usually Torches us.

Don't change line 2
DOC to line 1 or Glass?

Beau to line 3 or 4.

Yeah, I'd rather have him skate a bit more with the NHL guys since WBS isn't in action.

Stats only matter when they help my argument. If they do not, they are to be ignored as misinformation and conspiracy.

Brendan Lemieux is on waivers. Think of the jersey sales, Kyle.

Well, Yinz should go if they can. Malkin is getting goal #500 and Sid point # 1600.

You realize you jinxed it and both guys are going to be sitting on 499 and 1599, respectively, for the next couple of weeks.

I think deep down we all know this to be the case.

Like... it would be way too easy for them to just get it over with.

I don't think this should be an unheard of take at all. If Groat was good enough to make the roster as one of their best forwards he should be eligible to be moved up at least on a trial basis to have a look. That's what like... coaching and development is. Groat profiles as a hopeful top six player, The top line needs work anyway and he'd be skating next to Sid flippin' Crosby. I don't think the whole season would blow up in the team's face if that were a thing for a game or two.

Regardless they need to do something with Groats. This is a waste. A predictable waste but a waste.

This is my beef with how Sullivan handles all youngsters, not just McGroarty. Why not try McGroarty next to Sid? Maybe he's not ready for it, and maybe you have to eventually send him to the AHL. But why not TRY it?

Sullivan has no issue gifting try out spots on Sid's wing to various veterans whether they deserved it or not. So why not give your NUMBER ONE OFFENSIVE PROSPECT a handful of games with that cushy gig just to see what he can do with it?

DesertPenguin · 2024-10-16T15:00:35-0400

Beauvillier with 2 goals gives him rope here for a while, but I expect that to cool off and send him to the 4th or a healthy scratch eventually, around the time Lizotte comes back. Then you probably have something like this:

DOC - Crosby - Rust
Bunting - Malkin - Rakell
Hayes - Eller - Puljujarvi
Lizotte - Glass - Acciari
Beauvillier, Puustinen.

There is also the preseason where the games... you know... don't count.

Is McGroarty truly ready though?

What happens if he gets on the wing and stinks the place up? Then would we be him getting demoted to the AHL and others getting the call? It's perhaps a question we may not want an answer to.

I can tell you this - every single SEAL in the teams thinks they are ready for, and should be in, ST6/DEVGRU. Harsh reality is those guys exist on a different plane of existence, especially compared to young guys.

Turin · 2024-10-16T15:21:34-0400

Bro got embarrassed on one single play and sent to the minors lol

BlindWillyMcHurt · 2024-10-16T15:22:50-0400

Yeah... looks like they sent him down. Kinda sucks but it's for the best:

There's just no reason to keep him up playing 10 minutes a night with no special teams work. That's not the way to develop a player.

deakka · 2024-10-16T15:32:05-0400

Fkn hate this team and usage of younger players. Also. give it 5 mins and the trade theread is bumped and well get mocked about losing the trade.

If DOC is your 1LW when healthy, why would he not be your 1LW now?

They could simply give him more than 10min a night and put him on PP2 in the NHL :dunno:
