Must have missed it. Who was scratched for Bort? Maäta for his thyroid I'm thinking

Yep. He's gone for 4 weeks.

Lucky (well, ya know) timing for Bort. He was in last game too.

Still not a fan of these Jets jerseys, even after a few seasons. They're so bland. They're like the canned soup of jerseys.

How many bad goals is MAF going to let in to celebrate his new contract?

I wish Errey and Steigerwald would stop blowing smoke up his rear end for 2 minutes.

They just called him "one of the greats". Greats of what?

Dude's gonna ride Crosby and Malkin into the hall. Toxx it for forty years from now or something.

He wasn't moving for like 30 seconds. That was scary.

With Maata out and Bort back...England is gone. Who the hell do the pens have left that could play D? There anyone decent in the system?

You are new to the sport? (Not condescending, just curious) If so welcome!

That's pretty much all they have in the system, thanks to the questionable acumen of ex-GM Shero. Motherfucker loved him some D and centers.

Not new. I know the Pens lost Niskanen and Orpik in the off season. Despres is up with the team this year along with Bort. If say Despres picks up a concussion getting slammed to the ice with Maata out who is the 8th guy on the depth chart.

Probably Scott Harrington.

Possibly Samuelsson but I think he's got to deal with wavers. Then Derrick Pouliot but probably not until he gets a few more games in him.

Oh and Brian Dumoulin. Probably him before Ulf's kid.

Also here's a comprehensive list of wingers, for reference:

Despres totally gives me an Alfie Allen vibe, especially with his scruff.

Despres, Despres it rhymes with... powerplay?

Thank you everyone very much :) Agreed decent was the wrong term...but I don't pay tons of attention in the off season and knew most of the say "veteran presence" had moved on and honestly didn't know if anyone was laying around that could fill that ~10 minutes a night and not be awful.

Losing Orpik and getting Ehrhoff for a lower price is like trading in a ford escort for a BMW

This bottom 6 depth is so drat nice. Marcel Goc hasn't done a whole hell of a lot admittedly, but so much better than last year.
Probably as good as it's been since Jordan got traded.

My mom (who I readily admit is a bigger Pens fan than I am) has always hated Downie for that. (We live in Tampa Bay too.)

She says he's winning her over now.

My thought has always been that I don't blame Downie for what happened to Sid. It was that dirty hit by the Caps player who I cannot remember who hurt Sid. He shouldn't have played, because a hit like Downie shouldn't hurt you that badly.

I believe you're thinking of this

Just tweaked his neck is what it looks like. Wouldn't put him back in, but if the medical staff didn't send him straight to the hospital, he's probably gonna be ok.

Dude headbutted a block of ice and wasn't moving for a few minutes. He should at least probably be made to get an x-ray by the team staff.
