So the WBS Pens are now 10-1 and undefeated at home. They managed to win tonight's game with a final score of 7-0 against their rival Hershey Bears. I think Pittsburgh has a pretty strong future in the net. I'm also glad I went to this game instead of watching the Pittsburgh game, since I'm happy instead of depressed.

fits posted:jarry is cool and good Yeah, Murray looked pretty good in the NHL preseason. He keeps his calm really well, which is a big thing in a goalie. I'm hoping Jarry started tomorrow, since he looked good in the last game I saw him play, and I don't want them to break Murray by giving him every back to back.

ElwoodCuse posted:Another barnburner: Wilkes-Barre trailed Hartford 5-1 after 1, won 7-6 in overtime. 11 straight. What's funny about that is WBS was on a 3 game strech. I expected them to lose the winning streak from being tired and having to travel after two days at home. I was actually amazed at how they managed to pull this off. That is now two games this past weekend that they have won by scoring 7 goals.

The WBS Penguins set a franchise record 9 straight home wins. Tomorrow they play the Bears so they better win, because Bears fans are insufferable (even when they lost 7-0 last time)

Tristan Jarry's first game played after injury is a 4-2 win. Tom Sestito also came back today. He got a roughing penalty that was part of the reason for the first goal against Jarry.

Clark Donatelli is not an AHL coach. He is using the same terrible system Mike Johnston used in Pittsburgh. They are actually making me regret being a season ticket holder. Boring hockey where your team turtles with a lead (or behind) is terrible.

Tom Sestito scored the second empty net goal for the Pens 4-1 win against Hershey. This made Chris Borque Lundqvist the net afterwards.

WBS beats Hershey in OT, take both games in a home and home and take back first in their division. Whatever slows down there chances f playing the Marlies early is good.

cenotaph posted:The WBS Pens almost gave up a half dozen odd man rushes tonight but apparently the Binghamton Senators are slow as poo poo because a Pens d-man got back on every single one of them. Final score was 5-0 which was drastically different than the last game I went to, the 6-5 OT comeback on March 9th. The Sens are in the bottom of the League for a reason. And Zack Stortini got a 5 min boarding major, to the surprise of no one. (It was definitely headhunting, since he hit the guy who scored the 4-0 goal.)

I think I know how Montreal fans feel. WBS signed a goalie on a PTO, Donatelli refused to play him, so they released him. Jarry had a bad night (because he hasn't had a night off since February) and Donatelli put Foster in for the third. He gave up a goal because he is unable to play the puck. Tom Sestito is getting more minutes than actual good hockey players. More grinders. On the bright side I think I will only have to buy 2 playoff tickets.

WBS needs 2 points to clinch. Donatelli is going to coach them out of a playoff spot.

Clark Donatelli needed to coach his team to get 2 points in the last 3 games. He instead coached them to give up 2 hat tricks. What is the longest a team has ever only need 1 win to clinch, and don't do it? I feel like he will set this record.

Last night WBS clinched by beating Hershey. Somehow they continue to only beat Hershey and bad teams. I hope they win today, so I will have at least been to one good game in two weeks.

I found a top 100 AHL free agent list from July of 2015. http://www.pennlive.com/hersheybears/index.ssf/2015/07/top_100_ahl_free_agents_signin.html It lists NHL and AHL salaries for a lot of them.

cenotaph posted:My perception, which may be incorrect, is that the Bears have been successful for a very long time and are thought of as a team first and a development program second. They often have a handful of AHL superstars in the squad. Twenty-three conference championships, eleven Calder Cups. To support your point, their fans HATE Holtby, because he had the audacity to be a good goalie, and get called up to play in the NHL. Whereas in WBS the Twitter and Facebook accounts are all praising Murray for what he's been doing. (Though we have some people who wish Pittsburgh would stop getting injured and calling up half the team all the time.)
