Now he has to play since he’s the last healthy forward on the roster.

Pelech is likely having a serious concussion issue
I wish they stay really patient there
I don't remember which St. Louis scumbag cheap shotted him into the boards with the head shot but that person needs to get neutered.

Would be nice if Kevbo wrote more clearly. Varlomov, Palmieri and Clutterbuck will be....
On the trip?
Returning soon?
Missing the trip but starting to skate?

Barzal took 4 draws tonight. Lost them all. For comparison, Raty played 8 minutes, took 12 and won 8. It's not like Barzy is some defensive stalwart... at what point does it make sense to just play him with a real center? I'm honestly shocked they put Cizikas and Pageau together instead of trying Pageau or Nelson with Barzy and sliding Raty into one of their spots. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the new identity line… but wouldn’t it be nice if we could put out our top line for O zone face offs? In a perfect world shouldn’t our top offensive player be the go to in the O-zone?

Do you understand taking face offs is NOT the main job of a C?
They prefer someone else taking the draw and pitching it back to Barzal so he can set up and craft the attack in the O zone.
I would hate to have Barzal on the half wall on the break out - he should supporting/shawdowing the puck down low - like he did early in the game where he then picked up the puck and turned in transition and went thru 5 players.

So much for the fake news guy who said Ollie had a head injury.
These pseudo journalists would be better off not saying anything vs saying the wrong thing.
The injury looks like it’s to Wahlstrom’s hip from the way he fell. The Pens player who came to Jospeh’s defense (Ruhweedle?) cross checked Wahlstrom to the head after he fell and landed on his hip.
Maybe that’s why Gross after the game asked Lambert if Wahlly was pulled by the concussion spotter. Also the reason I’m getting pissed about our guys not having each others backs.

Sounds like Wahlstrom’s injury is more long term than Holmstrom’s.
I think it’s safe to say Holmstrom dodged a benne…I mean bullet against Florida and will not need surgery and be able to return at some point this season.

Hope he's OK. I like him a lot. He always sticks up for his mates, sometimes in a foolhardy way but he has a lot of heartThis is a major Bummer with Wahlstrom. Out indefinitely tells me it's really bad....

Still close to the bottom as of a couple of days ago. Very healthy up until the past couple of weeks.

I don't. But I expect our guys not to watch this happen to their teammates and not hold anyone accountable.
A cross-check to Wahlstrom's head after two of our guys are already dealing with concussions from dirty hits?

What made it doubly unacceptable is that Wally was vulnerable and defenseless. Much like the Subban assault last season, give the guy a chance to knuckle up then let the chips fall
The triple disappointing thing for me is that like him or not, underachiever on the ice or not, Wally is the FIRST guy to jump in and defend and take a shot for a teammate
