Line Combos: Pens 2022-2023 Training Camp thread: Its happenings

[SomeDude]

Hungry eyed Geno. I remember that look from 2019-20.
Ya love to see it. Hope he has a great, healthy season.

I suppose we should be thankful none of the regulars are hurt...yet.
Although I was looking forward to seeing Pickering play

One look at you and Geno can't disguise
He's got hungry eyes

Hallander-Poulin-Puustinen

Interesting Poulin is back at center to start. Him having a big year as WBS number one center would be huge.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Hallander on the wing is a bit of a switch too no? Wasn’t he drafted as a C?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Can you imagine what someone would pay for a digital portrait of Chad Ruhwedel?

I vote this season we value "Chad" SNL features.

Chad: Okay.

Apparently Slafkovsky gained 20 lbs this offseason and weighs 238 lbs lol

 

[Gurglesons]

11 pounds.

 

[Pancakes]

Owen Pickering being injured already is extremely on brand for a Penguins prospect

 

[ChaosAgent]

11 pounds.

5 KGs. Convenient

 

[dogthateats]

11 pounds.

I saw 20 pounds online, but I didn’t actually weigh him at the draft and today so I am not sure what to believe. Who knows if the scales were even calibrated or if the same scale was used both times? There are so many factors at play here. I think that I am just going to stay out of any additional player weight discussions.

Has mostly been a winger since graduating from the Allesvenkan or however it is spelled.

We Slovaks grow 'em big.

Weird seeing Malkin in a Pens jersey instead of a Caps jersey.

We got a big bad buf on our team finally...is his first name Dustin?

Slafkovsky is Montreal's 1st pick.

More like Slabskovsky amirite?

Oh, well they got a big bad buf.

Beef Slabkovsky is like a 90% of a Duke Nukem character.

I mean, great if true and keeps going, but huh? Does that actually jive with reality, those of you who follow WB/S?

I mean he was wayyyy better in his second half. His develop was stunted by lack of games due to Covid and getting Covid. Had a full offseason and is only 21. No reason to believe he couldn’t take a jump this year.

That said it’s only like day 2 of preseason camp. Lol

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Poulin's second half was pretty good. But I mean... were I Forrest I'd maybe not want to talk too much about the tale of two seasons last year's WB/S team was. And it's not like they went from bad to dominant. They went from bad to "pretty good I suppose but it's too late, now."

f*** if I know, I just make shit up for likes.

Yeah, this. I have a feeling JDF is talking about the progress that Poulin has made this summer. Not like the coaches are going to shit talk players in interviews.

 

[Darren McCord]

Nice to Lindberg full healthy

Ya but they also lost their number one center and number one goalie right before playoffs. That didn’t help at all.

True. But that's also just kind of the nature of farm teams, I guess.

One way or the other I sure hope he's right. Poulin is only 21 but he is sorta starting to feel like that guy at camp everyone talks up every season ahead of time only for them to look like some local rando they invited as an extra.

Also he’s never going to play center for the Pens except maybe on L4 so if he looks good there and like shit on the wings, who cares lol…
