dEv~ 19 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The problem is that John Curry scares the shit out of them. Fluery's getting closer and I've heard they may be getting him back with Whitney within a week or 2.Sabu's played well but I think the defense has played much better overall in front of him. Fluery was asked to stand on his head a lot more than Sabu. Sabu has been solid overall but just seems mentally/physically worn down from all these games. I don't think there's anyone that can honestly say with a larger sample size that Fluery wouldn't be their goalie of choice. Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Penguins Gill to miss two to four weeksTuesday, December 09, 2008By Shelly Anderson, Pittsburgh Post-GazettePenguins defenseman Hal Gill, joining the growing list of injured players, will miss two to four weeks with a right shoulder injury he suffered during the third period Saturday at Ottawa.He is the fourth defenseman out, along with Ryan Whitney (foot surgery), Sergei Gonchar (shoulder surgery) and Phillippe Boucher (undisclosed injury). Whitney is practicing with the team and could return later this month. Gonchar is out until later in the season. Boucher is week to week.The Penguins over the weekend recalled Ben Lovejoy from their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club, and he made his NHL debut Monday in a 4-3 loss to Buffalo.

Thank god for my hero Ray Shero. Whitney is gonna be back soon and hopefully Boucher is on a similar timeframe. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Lovejoy looked better than I hoped, but I can't wait for Gill to get back. Boucher isn't on IR, right? Hopefully that's a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Boucher is on IR, I'm fairly certain. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Boucher is on IR, I'm fairly certain.I thought I had heard that, but TSN's profile of him threw me off. I saw the "day-to-day" there but missed the "IR" next to it. Oops. It's a minimum of 7 games out (retroactive, even) once you hit IR, right? Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Boucher is on IR, I'm fairly certain.I was going to agree he was, because he wasn't on the scratch list last night....but Fleury was on the list and I thought he was on IR. Hmmm... Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 By Dave Molinari, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteNEWARK, N.J. -- Penguins centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have surged to the top of the Eastern Conference all-star voting.Crosby has taken over as the top vote-getter in the league with 638,945, and is followed in the conference by Malkin (567,371) and Montreal's Saku Koivu (560,973).A week ago, Crosby and Malkin trailed Koivu and two of his Montreal teammates, Alex Kovalev and Alex Tanguay.Fan balloting will continue through Jan. 2.

He's gonna need quite a push but hey it could happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm pushing for Ovechkin. I always voted him along with Sid and Geno when I was trying to get them in. I hope tPB gets this done. Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning which ones will give the team the biggest boost upon their return.Here's my list.FlueryGoncharZigomanisGillWhitneyKennedyBoucher Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I don't know how to rank them, but I think Kennedy's injury is probably hurting the team more than most think. Staal and Cooke were dynamite with him, and he was getting 1st-line PP time in the corners and in front of the net. He just brings the energy that the 3rd line needs.Minard has done a pretty good job filling in on the 3rd line, though. I've been quite impressed with him. Link to post Share on other sites
