dEv~ 19 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 What? They're not the only team with this going around. Hardly fair to blame the medical staff for a highly contagious infectious disease outbreak. I think it's bigger than the medical staff at this point as management seems be lacking credibility. Here's a good article from last week which spells it out pretty well. http://blogs.post-gazette.com/sports/2013-06-20-18-51-15/empty-netters/43123-penguins-credibility-in-question-12-14-14 Since this article it's been rumored that Maata (who now also has the mumps) reinjured his shoulder which was surgically repaired in the offseason. The original timeline annouced for him to return wasn't until mid November but he started the season. As an isolated incident it can be dismissed but I think the sum of these incidents are concerning. In happier news... http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=744845&camefrom=EMCL_485614_21722448 Mike Lange is the highlight for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I don't see any way the Penguins don't move to the old school jerseys full time next year, or the year after. They're too good to only wear a handful of times. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 David Perron is now a Penguin for a 2015 first round pick Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 There is more recently acquired Klinkhammer goes to Oilers as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Lol. Klinkhammer goes back too, but whatever. Perron is good. Pens need top 6 help. Thus, good deal. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Its an interesting deal.. He is coming off a career year last year...Not too productive this year, but he is on the crappiest team in league.. He is only 26 and signed for $3.8 for next year as well.. Winger for Crosby?

serge 904 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Sucks to be Klinkhammer.. 10 games ago he goes from a team that is struggling to a contender..Then he goes from a contender to even a worse team than Arizona... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Winger for somebody. Doubt it matters who. Sid/Geno/Kunitz/Perron/Bennett....Sutter in the top 6 now. Hornqvist and Comeau on the shelf. Downie coming back tonight for the 3rd line. Dupuis done for the year, though. With everyone healthy, you probably see a 3rd line of Sutter/Downie/Bennett, which is pretty awesome. Goc/Adams/whoever as the 4th line. Good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Forgot about Spaling. Put him on the third, Downie to the 4th. What amazing balance. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My biggest question in all of this is how we're going to sort out the Perron/Goc battle over #57. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It'd be fun to see Perron in #75. Link to post Share on other sites

That was going to be my question as well. According to http://www.hockey-re...IT/numbers.html no penguin has ever worn 75. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Not going to take much for him to be the best #39 in Pens history. 39 Mike Needham (1993-1994) Joel Bouchard (2003) Jon Sim (2004) Chris Minard (2008) Luca Caputi (2010) Brad Thiessen (2012) Harry Zolnierczyk (2014) Link to post Share on other sites
