Poulin with 2 assists at the end of the 2nd period. He should be up after the deadline.
Or maybe Hino with 2 goals tonight should be up????? If only his shot was sneaky good enough for Sully!

And Harkins and Carter and Puljujarvi…………my main point was saying 2 assists deserves a call up when one was secondary (sloppy pass) and the other was just a dump pass and neither special at all.
3 assists for Poulin, better keep playing Harkins over him, Jansen might one day accidentally score a goal.

Last injury Poulin came back a goal scorer, this time he comes back a playmaker.

At this rate, next time he'll come back playing the violin!

Heaven forbid we give young players a chance, we might find ourselves in a hole if they’re not as good as Carter or Hawkins.

There’s simply no precedent- certainly not with the Penguins- for the insertion of qualified young players into the roster leading to team success.
That's actually true and not sarcastic at all, if you are referring to the *voluntary* insertion of young players into the lineup. The myth that Mike Sullivan was once-upon-a-time flexible and open-minded in his approach to young players is just that -- a myth. Unless they are from Bahston (John Marino).
Not a single blessed one of the Wilkes-Barre 5 or 7 or whatever it was got into Sully's lineup because Sully wanted them there in 2016. They got there because injuries left no other choice.
Fortunately for guys like Rust, Sheary, Wilson, Murray, Kuhnhackl and whoever, the 2015-16 WBS Penguins were pretty much comprised of nothing BUT young players and were not overloaded with elderly players (Tommy Kostopoulos aside) or middle-aged mediocrities. Because if that team had a bunch of available rejects like Jansen Harkins, Kevin Porter, Greg McKegg, Louis Domingue, Chad Ruhwedel and Colin White, the talented young guys would never have gotten a whiff of the NHL over those scrubs.

It rules that coaches do not learn from history, it's a freak law of nature, like lightning never striking twice.
Vinnie’s warming up. Gruden call up ticked him off.
Sorry. Should have talked about Poulin falling down, losing the puck, and getting a secondary assist.

Poulin with 2 more assists in the 1st period tonight. That's 5 assists in 4 periods since coming back from injury.
Hinostroza with 3G,1A thru last 4 periods.

Both Poulin and Hinostroza should be called up soon. Please send down Harkins and Philips.

WB/S has been decimated with Nylander, Smith and Hellberg moved out but they’re also infinitely more exciting to follow with Blomqvist probably getting more than just a 50/50 split from here on out plus Ponomarev, and I assume regardless of who we call up (Poulin, etc.) they’ll return to WB/S for the playoff run.
The SM-Liiga playoffs start in a week or so so maybe Koivunen joins them too once Karpat’s season ends.
