Can’t do that in the NHL, Minor league quality at best, but also kinda good.
I LOVE the fire this kid plays with. Hopefully one day itll translate consistently in the NHL! Good for these kids!!
Hopefully, Rutger Mcgroarty and the Baby Pens win the Calder Cup, and Rutger really shows out in the final. Then, we package him with picks, and maybe another forward for a superstar player. I like Rutger a lot…But i just dont see him becoming any more than a decent, third line checking forward in the NHL.
IS IT TIME
So it's a best of 3, with home ice advantage. I don't mind it.
Results matter! Great win for WBS!
Im a huge fan of Tristan Broz. This kid needs to get some NHL time in 2026/27. Even if hes playing 2C or 3C, he needs to be in the NHL and not burried on the 4th line or a press box participant.
Still want to see what Yager becomes if/when he becomes an NHL regular. Everyone was so high on him before the McGroarty trade saying he was going to be a big time goal scorer. So far neither of them can hold a NHL roster spot, so will be interesting to see who actually wins this trade in the long run
Pittsburgh sports writers are so bad with their groaners, "Rutger roars!" "Malkin mauls!" "Sid smashes!"
Watching Murashov he always seems in the right position and in total control, except when he makes that one blunder now and then. Silovs to me is the opposite. He has major flaws in his game, including rebound control, tracking the puck from the blue line, and handling the puck. Personally, I would rather see the Pens go with Blomqvist as the number 2, and use 2026-2027 as the rookie year for them and 3-4 other players.
Wore my #11 Pens jersey that says STAAL yesterday. I wish it was an away jersey, it was a little warm.
It's great to be back in the Caulder Cup. It shows we have good talent. I prefer to look at them as replacements rather than trade bait. Tomatoes grown in your garden taste better than buying them, but sometimes they can go to waste.
I think talent is fleeting and will get stale if you don't continue to challenge it to get better. When you trade someone, you have to remember you give up something to get something. I think that was a problem, the stable was a little thin and nobody wanted our tomatoes. Remember, you can't expect to always eat off of someone else's plate.

I watched Musharov last night he very shakey and off last night. 2'easy goals and almost nailed again late out of the net. Al players have one of those nights. Got the win all that matters.
I had to look. Know what a Marlie was? It's based of the family crest of Winston Churchills family. The Marlboroughs. Marlie is a nickname. 😀
They were the Marlboros at one point but too close to cig brand.
Thank you DK. They are finding ways to win. I hope they continue to rise up and get the win. Great stuff DK
DK – Should or do you think Dubas will look to move up in the draft?
i don’t want to say it…. but murashov is starting to give playoff jarry vibes…
