That's what Barlow brings in his game, the rest needs to catch up.

The early scouting report by HF Penguins fans is that McGroarty isnt quite ready for the NHL yet.

The comparisons between Yager and McGroarty will be an interesting watch over the coming years.

I think part of it is we know Mike Sullivan won’t play youth. So, just expecting McG to go to the A and maybe secure more of a spot after we move out some of the vets at the deadline when we suck.

I don’t think they are comparable players tbh. Yager if he hits is going to be a Jared McCann type all situational C/W. Mcg if he hits is going to be more of a character player driver on the wing with size and grit.

We still have time to sign Milhouse. The lady who sleeps on the Empress Street Bicycle Path says he's great at covering the net...

Do you guys feel bad for this guy? Is that why you thumbs up his constantly recycled "jokes"? Asking for a friend.

Any videos of the Barlow goal?

Finally got to see his world class release.

How did Jacob Julien look tonight?

How did Jacob Julien look tonight?

Solid for his ice time. Noticed him on the forecheck a couple times, had 1 really nice shift with sustained pressure in the O-zone during the third I want to say

Sooooo, depending on how this season goes, can we call the Hawks at TDL and make a trade:

To Chicago - Kakkonen and a bag of pucks

To Winnipeg - Brossoit (75% retained)

 

[Shlep]

Counting out Kahkonen as our backup because of that game is equally as silly as penciling in Delia as our backup after his shutout last preseason, which many did.

Chibrikov looked good from what I saw, which wasn't a lot.

 

[RabidOne]

Which one? The forward or the defenceman...

And of course to avoid confusion, the Nuckleheads drafted both.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Nice to see special teams have been fixed.

Score doesn't matter. Some guys looked good. Chib is NHL ready.

I didn't watch the game in its entirety but I was able to watch the first two PKs go in the back of the net.

I liked the way Yager played...Chibrikov too at times...Liked a few things from Lambert, took and won some big draws. But that was not an NHL lineup the team played against.

Alot of breakdowns. Salomonsson is starting to concern me as the top d prospect who doesn't seem to have a feel for the game yet. Losing a lot of one on one battles with non NHL players, he's got a long way to go to be an NHL player.

So far all the aforementioned 3 prospects have shown more to date, you could say Julien and Levis too, as well as Torgersson and Zhilkin,.and even Barlow...on defense Kuzmin has probably been better this TC.

Miller got a few good shots in on the vet side.

Fleury looked like he could have used more sleep before this game.

Probably see the B side team tomorrow, all the depth guys like Kupari, Gustafsson, Toninato, AJF, JAD, b-side prospects like Torgersson, Zhilkin, Ford, He, Nikkanen, Loponen and Walton.

Maybe Stan and Melo on D, Coughlan too, but probably more of a mucking lineup.

Kahkonen's first start might have opened the door for Comrie a little.
