AHL: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins: '24-'25 The Players Sully Hates

[Randy Butternubs]

Phew. Close game at the end. WBS wins. Jarry hopefully gaining confidence. Speaking of, how long can he stay in WBS on this assignment?

 

[Malkinstheman]

WBS wins 3-2

Jarry stops 32/34. Solid game by him

Mcg 0 pts in 4 games in the A. Sick.

He's attempting to emulate Harkins so Sully calls him back up.

 

[Jacob]

Sounds like he wasn’t very good in the first two but has been pretty good in the last 2. Probably not ideal for his confidence especially with the weird AHL schedule where you gotta sit and think about your zero points for 6 days but oh well.

Sully and Dubas trying to ruin a top 30 prospect in record time.

Sully and Dubas trying to ruin a top 30 prospect in record time.

I don’t know how letting a prospect play in the A can ruin them.

I think he’s just a complimentary winger and WBS doesn’t really have skilled enough centers for him to produce off of regularly. The good news is as Sid and Geno continue to age, neither will the big team.

That trade is going to haunt us for a long time, or at least for 3 more years until his ELC is up and he bounces on us too.

Yager fan boys are starting to drive me crazy.

Yager fan boys are starting to drive me crazy.

How is it being a fan boy to question if a prospect swap was a good idea?

I just have not been impressed with much of Rutger’s tape. Regardless, we’ll all find out in 3-4 years.

 

[Jacob]

In like a month we’ll be like “remember that slow start he had? Feels like forever ago.”

 

[Malkinstheman]

Yeah having a slow start in your first couple pro games is a total non issue.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Pretty sure McG's confidence is just in the trash. They should've either sent him down as soon as pre-season was over, or kept him up and let him work through his growing pains on a McG-Eller-Puljujarvi or McG-Eller-DOC 3rd line.

I wouldn't say I'm torn up about it, but I also wouldn't say it's a non-issue. It's at least a little bit worrying. Also whenever McG gets back to the NHL level, he'll very likely be playing under a coach who has no desire to, y'know, actually coach and develop players.

 

[Jacob]

Murashov started B2B in Wheeling. Numbers don’t look too hot. Maybe keep him down a bit longer to get him more reps. Especially with Larsson having bounced back.

You mean Sully. Sully choose to not play him anymore.

How you gonna blame the bloke that literally traded for him as tanking him? Lol

I wouldn't look too much into those numbers. He was sat for 4 straight AHL games after putting up a great performance, then sent down to the dump that is the ECHL. I would give him a few weeks to get over it mentally before picking away at his numbers there.

I dunno if anybody still cares about WBS or McG but there ya go.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

What is the deal with Ponomarev?

I see on EP that he's hurt and hasn't played a game yet, but when I do a news search for him, there's not much.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Did I miss what happened to Jagger Joshua?

Puckpedia says expected return 10/31.

McGroats finally with a point.

Hurt. Seemed like it was offseason surgery.

Must've been a two for one Joshua special at the Surgeon.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

McG with a primary assist on Koivunen's opening goal to go up 1-0. Gruden scores like a minute later from Andonovski to make it 2-0. No idea what the goals looked like, just scoreboard watching.

Nice to see McG on the board though.

Hopefully we see that duo produce lots of points for many years to come!!
