AHL: Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins 24 25 the Players Sully Hates

I think people need to remember that all prospects have bad weeks. Most have bad months. Some have bad years.

This place is going to be unbearable when the only good thing about the team is prospect watching if we're gonna start puling the "I told you so's" after a random week in March.

Just friggen relax and look at the bigger picture. Individual games have so little weight to them in the long run.

Brunicke’s season ended tonight so he should be joining WB/S soon. I’m not sure how much he’ll play. He’s good but they’re loaded with more seasoned d-men that are up to AHL speed.

Are they experimenting with Sullivan clones in WB/S?

Ralph Wiggum finally grew up and is wearing a suit in the WBS locker room for some reason.

Time to just let him sink or swim in a bottom 6 role. He PKs and can play center or wing so Sullivan is out of excuses.

Maybe after next year in the AHL Mike Sullivan will trust him.

As we know Poulin will need to be “effective and ready”.

McGroarty mix from the last two months of games. Really enjoying how light he is on his feet in steps 2-6. Big improvement from September. Also found his home in front of the net and has been majorly impactful on the forecheck. Still lacks that true top end gear. When he gets in trouble against mobile D, he heads wide and shoots from bad angles and distances. I would like to see him get more pucks deep and live to fight another day in those situations. I am not sure the speed will ever come, so he has to adapt. If you watch this, you can see why I say his 14 goals could easily be 25 goals if finishing regression didn't slap him in the face pretty decently. Still shooting 10% but dang if he didn't get robbed on some of these.
