Every time I saw him on TV the announcers pronounced it phonetically, so Pe-onk.
That's how I've been pronouncing it as well.

Pionk was playing in the USHL when Greeley was still at BU recruiting players. Greeley knows all of those players. He probably tried to recruit Pionk to BU. I heard him on Boston University hockey podcast after he left BU. They tried to recruit players from all over North America. Greeley tried to recruit Jack Daugherty to BU. Minnesota boy. He went to Wisconsin. Greeley would be the guy to scout Pionk in college too.
It's pee-onk. https://youtu.be/CROzmajcp7E
Man, the kid really can blast it from the point.
A willingness to shoot would be a refreshing change for this team.
Not only a willingness, but the ability to put a legitimate quality slapper on net and challenge the goalie.

Really liking what I read about/see from him. Can skate, shoot, pass, decent on D, plays with a mean streak? Sign me up.
The Pedrie signing struck me as mostly just organizational filler, but Bereglazov and Pionk look to be legit FA Dman prospects to me.
Continue to love what Gorts is doing ever since his first offseason as the man in charge.
I know there's a constant argument over Sather moves vs. Gorton moves, but there is a dramatic different in the approach since the end of the 2015-2016 season, as opposed to the prior year, when Sather's presence will still being felt.
I don't think Girardi is going anywhere. Staal, maybe. But even that's a reach.
It could definitely be argued these are moves to replace Klein Holden or Smith and not one of G or S
Brooks openly talking about a G buyout makes me think there's something to it. His opinions are usually garbage but he seems to get fed reliable info.
Girardi and Staal are career Rangers. They have built their entire lives in New York. Their children go to school here. And they both have NMC. Trading either of them at 50% retained is a pipe dream. Why would they waive it at all, much less to a cap floor team?
Girardi's NMC modifies on July 1. There will be teams he can be traded to.
List of 15 teams he can't be traded to, correct? I have to assume all of the cap floor teams are most likely on there.
