Yeah that took about as long as expected

He's like a career 910, that's perfectly adequate for a back up. not starter material obviously

You guys want to start a pool on how long until Sprong is traded for a mediocre veteran goalie? With a bonus for correctly guessing which goalie maybe! Put me down for 10 days and Cam Ward.

Well if there's anyone who's qualified to know a minor league player when he sees one, it's Mike Johnston

i can't get over just how bad zatkoff is at positioning. He's always lunging and flailing at pucks and never just makes a save by being in the right place at the right time. It's so nervewracking to watch

I really don't know why the Pens decided they hate Pouliot but he looked really good for a 21 year old defenseman last year when the rest of the team was in the shitter. Is it really all about the DUI thing? Is his personal life completely out of control behind the scenes?

Did you watch the preseason? Words cannot describe how terrible he was. He had one of the worst camps I've ever seen a guy have. His demotion was well deserved.

I did not. So, yeah, he has personal/effort issues I guess?

How has he been in WBS? Like everyone else he might be expected to play better with Johnston's retarded system out of the way.

I feel like it's inevitable they're going to give him away and he's going to develop into a #2 d-man for someone else.

e: I like the main unis better than the 3rds :shrug: I still think home team should wear white though, it's been almost a decade and I'm still not over it :colbert:

I don't know if effort was why all I know is he was horrifically bad. The spot was his to lose he was all but penciled in but he was so mind bogglingly bad that they had to send him down.

By all accounts he's done okay down in WBS but they supposedly still aren't thrilled with his defensive work and the public drunkenness thing annoyed them no doubt. I still think with all of that that he'll be called up at some point this year, but I wouldn't expect it to be soon.

I really dread this because after a long trend toward cool and good uniforms, the last two years or so 90% of the new uniforms that have been rolled out in all sports have been rear end-ugly.

Icethetics says Pittsburgh will have new home and away jerseys next season. And by the totally unofficial metric "what I saw while Christmas shopping" pretty much all new Penguins merch has the Pittsburgh gold instead of the Vegas gold.
