Hockey is back baby, and it's full of players you don't recognize and may never hear from again. Preseason! Its the best!




Fights in preseason games are dumb but holy poo poo Ben Harpur got it bad. Hope he's ok.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
I'm liking Gustafsson as a replacement for Schultz so far, though he's a bit of step-down defensively.

He's very much a less good Jultz in everyway. Still useful.

Looked at the rosters for the late game and the Pens have barely 3 NHL level players plus a goaltending duo that does not inspire confidence.

I wouldn’t read too much into that- all camp it’s been Blais in that spot and Gallant confirmed the kid line would be reunited, at least for now. Nice that he is getting some time on that line tho!

from watching him in junior/at WJC, he's a guy that could honestly play either side pretty easily. much more so than Laf/Panarin. he loves the off-wing shot and love to be in first as a forechecker, so it matters less. he played pretty well at RW in the world juniors with Bedard and McTavish IIRC

I wouldn’t be mad or anything to see him switch but Kreider-Zib-Laf were fantastic together, even if Laf isn’t super comfortable on the right side. But if Othmann makes the top six in any position I’d be thrilled. I could see him being like Schneider where Gallant gets a good look at him and just falls in love with his playing style.

Pens with 2.5 powerplays no goals. A few decent looks and good chances, but no goals. Detroit gets 50 seconds and ties the game up with a bomb from Kubalik. Jarry extremely preseason form on that one.

Missed goal 2 and 3 against but caught goal 4. Another powerplay tally for the Wings and boyyyyy if I thought Jarry was a little weak on the first one this one was extremely bad. Pens playing starters and losing 4-1. Good stuff good stuff.

As I say that Rust with a nice little play with Zucker and finds the shortside.

Nice entry pass by Maatta and very poor play by Letang/Dumo. Wonder if Sullivan played the strong lineup to see where they are because woooof this has been very poor. Preseason and all that though.

yeah, wouldn't read that much into it, the Wings rostered an entire team full of players with something to prove so there's a hell of a motivation gap there. as much as I'd like to believe that our AHLers can run up the numbers on the Pens...
