takoyaki on the menu tonight boys.
LET'S GO PENS!

So, with Pickering sent back to Wilkes-Barre will it be Shea or Graves on the 3rd pairing? Any chance Imama gets in today? Seems like an unusual choice for a call-up at forward. I guess he'll have to cover all those fights that Rust will miss since he's out with a LBI.

 

[End of Line]

Day game on the west coast? We know how this will go.

Wait why was Pickering sent down?

 

[Andy99]

Maybe Imama is here bc a team is interested in seeing him for trade purposes…??

One forward short and he is waiver exempt.

Nice to see them put someone in the lineup who plays with some balls. You can be a bad team or a soft team, but not both. Pens need a jolt and they weren't gonna get it from the weak, lifeless roster they've been icing all season. As an outsider who doesn't even root for Pitt, I was just frustrated as a hockey fan seeing the way they play and the makeup of the roster for a few years now. Just unacceptable.

Obviously this doesn't move the needle in the grand scheme of things but at least they did it, even if it's only for a game.

Can go through waivers. We needed a forward up is my understanding.

Nothing about play.

 

[Icarium]

Should have put EK65 on L2 instead, can't be any more useless at scoring when on a line with Geno than Glass or Bunting.

Imama won't play unless too many forwards are out due to injury/illness. He was brought up to collect a paycheck for a few days.

Looks like Picks is staying in WBS.

Ya know, if you want to say Pickering hasn’t been playing as well and they want to send him back down to work on some things, that’s fine. Not like we’re going anywhere this season anyways.

It’s just that ONLY young guys are ever ‘punished’ for not being flawless. That’s my issue with it.

Fine, I guess. Let him go log 22 minutes in the A for a while. Hopefully by the deadline we've traded Petts and/or Gryz, and he's back up.

 

[farscape1]

Pickering was one of the few reason i watched. I enjoy watching young players play hard and improve unlike the old failures we keep sending out and never benched.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Rust out day-to-day. Lizotte out again due to illness. So Imama gets the chance.

Meanwhile, Graves and Shea are back with Pickering off to the AHL. POJ a scratch.

 

[farscape1]

Imama had three goals, two assists and 47 penalty minutes in 24 games with Wilkes-Barre this season.

Sully thought we had too much youth in the lineup.

 

[Gurglesons]

Top six winger goes down.... perfect opportunity to give a young kid a shot for a couple games.

And we call up Imama...............

 

[Ugene Magic]

 

[Icarium]

I wonder how many games with zero goals scored this L2 needs to have for Sully to realize that it's not working.

 

[eXile3]

I wonder how many games with zero goals scored this L2 needs to have for Sully to realize that it's not working.

Well it took him how many years to break up the power play?

 

[Andy99]

Yeah, it’s ridiculous…he doesn’t care…

Was just going to say.. THIS is the guy we bring up?? Out of all the guys in Wilkes, HE is the one??? wtf.

 

[Duffy13]

Imama!!!

Hahaha awesome, Dubas saw my comment last week calling him a coward for not calling him up

Imama is now leading the team in hits after that shift
