Good Soldier Svejk posted:I hope Farnham is out for the season or something. Dude plays like it's the 80s still - calling him a hockey player is too generous and for some reason yinzers love the fucker. He's kind of funny to watch play since he has so much energy and clearly gives no fucks, but if he had the size to put a dent in a player bigger than Johnny Gaudreau or the coordination to connect with more of the hits he was attempting, he'd get so many penalties and injure some guys. His entire game is basically skating at 100mph, recklessly throwing himself at guys regardless of whether they have the puck or not, and trying to get into fights with people who will probably beat his face in. I feel like (hope to god) all the talk of him having a chance to make the team is simply a nod to his status as a fan favorite and not a serious assessment. Also PIT-CBJ is going to end with more fighting majors than goals scored, Ben Lovejoy got a penalty for an illegal check to the head, and Scott Hartnell and some other guy got matching unsportsmanlikes, so it sounds like they're having a pretty spirited game over there

Im glad bennett isnt afraid to block shots but with his luck that probably broke his foot or something Also rob scuderi and his ahl scrub partner got pinned in their own end so badly its like they gave the wings another power play in addition to the actual one scuderi gave by being so slow he had to trip a guy who blew past him

looks like today is the honest to god Columbus Blue Jackets against Crosby, Kessel, and the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins (okay, the defense isn't as bad as it was during the Detroit game but there's still no Letang and almost all of the NHL d-men aren't playing with their expected partners for the season)

If the Penguins hadn't traded for Kessel I think Sprong would be a shoe-in to make the team

CBJSprague24 posted:How do the Jackets look? I don't have NHLN and am too busy to look for a stream. They're pretty much dominating the Penguins. I'm just thinking of this game as an experiment in what Crosby and Kessel can do together when they have virtually no support. So far: 2 goals

He's on a PTO so I assume he's just around for goon duties during training camp when you have all kinds of no-names taking runs at people to make the team (not to imply Sestito is not one of those shitheads himself). He's probably spending the season in Wilkes-Barre if he even gets a contract.

Maybe Johnston should ditch the "no shootout practice" thing because I swear the Penguins have no finish anymore.
