Lovejoy just keeps crosschecking people behind the net and keeps getting away with it. He'd better stop that soon, he's gonna get caught.

As much as I'd like to see Sprong play more, Plotnikov-Cullen-Fehr seems like a pretty good grinding line and they seem to spend a lot of time in the offensive zone.

Sprong's 18 so whatever. If you want to play him 9 minutes a game on the fourth line, cool. If you want to send him down and let him play 18 a game in the minors, cool. But don't loving scratch him and let him rot.

Yeah I think as good as he's been he could probably deal with another season in Juniors at this point. Our forward depth doesn't really necessitate him here and given the way the team has been playing he's not likely to pick up any great habits just watching.
That said if one of our top 9 got hurt that's a different story.

Every time there is a play in the defensive zone, he's plopping hsi slow rear end in front of Fleury and staring at the play,

I think scratching Sprong every now and then is OK if its for instructional purposes. He needs to see the game from up high and study it with one of the coaches... I'm cool with that.

They just said "Borowiecki" and "second pairing" in the same sentence without the "East Coast Hockey League" qualifier. I see no actual effects of his supposed work ethic, he gives up on plays quicker than anyone else, gets slaughtered in the corners by everyone and has shown 0 improvement on any of his 'skills' in a period of several years.

I wonder if it would be worth it to send Sprong back to the juniors, and try and see if he can learn how to play left wing down there, what with the excess of depth the pens have at rw

Right at the end of the period there is the peewee league horseshit defensive system I've been bitching about--Avs guy carries the puck deep along the left boards, Lovejoy is on him, and Dumoulin comes rushing over to the other end of the ice to help Lovejoy double team the puck carrier. Crosby has to haul rear end back to cut off the passing lane Dumoulin left wide open. This isn't Dumoulin being a dumbass, THIS IS THE ACTUAL SYSTEM THEY PRACTICE. All they do in their own end is chase the puck chase the puck chase the puck--which incidentally is what about 27 other coaches preach at every practice NOT to do.

I'm pretty sure the CHL transfer agreement doesn't let NHL teams freely send down and recall players like they can with their AHL affiliates, which sucks for Sprong in particular because he's good enough to be a contributing NHL player but also needs playing time which is in short supply for him with the Penguins

Except for Scuderi. His system is to put his big slow rear end in front of Fleury and pretend to be the second goalie, instead of looking for forwards coming up the back.

Yeah, it'd suck losing him as an option but it's better than Tom Wilson-ing him I guess.
I'm sure someone's bound to get hurt before it gets to that point.

He's been so much better than they had any right to expect, overall, even if he's back to looking like a backup now.

I really think they have no faith in Tokarski at all and it's hard to blame them.

Ive thought about this too because Kessel and Hornqvist have long term contracts and if Bennet can put together a good and fairly healthy season he's probably getting locked down for a few years too, being an RFA. There's really no room for more RWs and it seems like a waste to keep him just to be injury insurance in the bottom six when LW has such a pressing need for more skilled players.
