FirstStar Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 A few big injuries for the Pens this season. I don't think that they'll have the same results as they had last year through their injuries. It's a different team this year, last season they had a lot of good players and depth. Conklin came in and keep them winning games, along with Malkin. I doubt they'll do the same this season, they don't have the depth. They lost some key player over the summer and that deal to get Hossa, might be hitting em sooner than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Whitney practices for first time with Pens After foot surgery in the summer, three months of rehab and a month of skating, Penguins defenseman Ryan Whitney rejoined his teammates for practice for the first time since the Stanley Cup Final on Friday afternoon at Southpointe.

They have a record of 7 wins and 1 OT loss in the month of November giving them a 12-4-3 record which ranks them 5th in the NHL. Pretty good considering they have done it without Gonchar, Whitney (who is close to returning) and a number of other key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Penguins center Max Talbot has an injured left foot The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled forward Janne Pesonen from their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club for Friday night's game in Buffalo. Penguins center Max Talbot has an injured left foot, so Pesonen was brought up for the second time this month to fill a roster spot. Pesonen made his NHL debut Nov. 1 in St. Louis, but did not score. Pesonen, from Finland, has five goals and 16 assists in 19 games at Wilkes-Barre, Pittsburgh's AHL farm club. He had 78 points in 56 games last season in the Finnish Elite League.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Penguins' Tyler Kennedy to miss four to six weeks http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=396415 On first glance this does not look too big but Kennedy is 5th in team scoring with 15 pts and 3rd in +/- with +9. His defensive play and secondary scoring will definitely be missed as the injuries pile up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteenIsThaFuture Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Jaromir Jagr said he has no designs on returning to the NHL in the short term, but if he ever did return he would be happy to go back to the Pittsburgh Penguins to play for his former idol, Mario Lemieux. “I was thinking about it and if Mario would call me and say, ‘I’d like you to play for our team,’ I would think about it a lot,” Jagr said in a telephone interview from Moscow where the Kontinental League will hold its inaugural All-Star Game outdoors at Red Square Saturday. “I would play for the minimum salary. I would play for $350,000 just for him because I owe him my hockey life. I want to pay him back because he has made me what I am…besides my parents.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Jagr went after a multimillion dollar deal in the KHL and would now play in Pittsburgh for 350K - nice try but I do not really believe it. Besides the fact that it is highly unlikely as it would be a breach of contract. On to other news: Fedotenko breaks hand; out 4-6 weeks http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=403178 Fedotenko has 11 goals and 10 assists and has provided some good secondary scoring for Pittsburgh. With the way the Penguins are struggling they cannot afford to lose another player to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_Champion Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hate how coaches are judged base on record to such a degree. Always at the end of the year the Jack A Award is handed to the guy who won a lot of games or exceeded expectations. In what universe is that a critical exmaination of his direct coaching skills? For all we know Barry Trotz is the best coach in the NHL, but if Nashville doesn't get 95 points or have some sort of miracle season, the way he handles his team will get no credit. How do you explain the breakdown in Pittsburgh right now? Seems to me the best explanation is player rebellion against coach, well discussed. The team with Fleury, Crosby and Malkin is 10th in the eastern conference. They were 1st last year, when Crosby was out for half a season. Don't try and tell me Colby Armstrong is that good.

I attribute the Pittsburgh situation to no secondary scoring and poor defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
