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

[HandshakeLine]

Wait, if 26 is old for blueliners, what does that say about Dumo, Letang, and Petry?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

If it's POJ vs Friedman for a roster spot, you keep POJ.

As a former first round pick who is only 23, the odds of him continuing to develop are greater than the 26-year-old Friedman. The further into their 20s athletes get, the less likely they are to emerge as high caliber players.

POJ's puck movement and skating gives him a higher ceiling. He undoubtedly has question marks, but if you have to choose you take the younger unknown with a higher ceiling.

Maybe we're still in the preseason of quota-meeting and will meet our quotas when the season actually starts?

 

[dogthateats]

There were some rumors that the org didn’t like POJ but I think they were made from one of the fat charlatans. Plus it seems like Hextall likes Friedman since he was a Flyer and we picked him up on waivers.

DEEP THOUGHTS WITH THE DEEP

Maybe he's as upset with the jersey ads as everyone else is?

Live look at this team

 

[The Old Master]

I am one of the beat talent evaluators if you guys have any questions

ok then, Ginger Baker or Ringo?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

What is this, a police dept?

 

[dogthateats]

ok then, Ginger Baker or Ringo?

Ginger Baker wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles!

 

[The Old Master]

Ginger Baker wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles!

ty for your deep insight and analyses.

 

[HandshakeLine]

ok then, Ginger Baker or Ringo?

Ringo. Ginger Baker would have put a drum solo in “Octopus’ Garden.”

Ginger Baker wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles!

The dog, barking up the right tree!

The real question is why is his head three sizes too big for his body. He looks like a bobblehead, or like someone photoshopped an adult head onto a 12 year old's body.

Camera lense most likely.

At the same time if we're keeping POJ just to sit him that doesn't do him a whole lot of good and won't let him develop.

Although it is the Penguins and we are going to have injuries.

Yea he's probably mad because he's like that guy that's at the gym 24/7 working on his calves but still has chicken legs except with shoulders, instead.

 

[Peat]

That take on Pettersson was more a comment on cap situations versus actual potential from POJ.

Similar to how I feel with Blueger vs Poehling, although with the injuries that is obviously a moot point and we just should keep Teddy.

And seeing him as an NHL ready guy with top 4 potential...

If you feel consistent in your own mind fair enough, but that's not how it looks from the outside.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I'd keep Friedman over POJ at this point. POJ literally does nothing on the ice, but skate smoothly.

Lmao you’ve been shitting on POJ 1869827 times a day since Smith joined the Pens. We get it Smith is your new baby

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Now now everyone. We may have our differences but at least we aren't the Steelers thread, right?

 

[Fordy]

one thing about the pens is you can’t accuse anyone of being on roids. you can barely accuse them of eating

 

[dogthateats]

Now now everyone. We may have our differences but at least we aren't the Steelers thread, right?

I keep accidentally clicking on that thread bc I don’t like to have any unread threads and I get a little sad.

Dude, it's only pre-season. Who cares?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

♪ It's the time
of pre-season
for Poehlingggggggg ♫
