Listen to the game live on WXDX.com.
There's something about the Penguins playing the Blue Jackets in the preseason that irks me. I don't know what it is. They did it last season too and I remember thinking the same thing.
Alls I can say is: please don't get hurt.
Hooks will be at the game checking in live from press row tomorrow. Be sure to check out his updates both on here and on twitter.
Pens lineup after the jump:
Forwards: Craig Adams, Arron Asham, Mike Comrie, Chris Conner, Matt Cooke, Eric Godard, Nick Johnson, Dustin Jeffrey, Chris Kunitz, Mark Letestu, Mike Rupp, and Max Talbot.
Defense: Robert Bortuzzo, Simon Despres, Deryk Engelland, Alex Goligoski, Ben Lovejoy, Paul Martin, and Steve Wagner
Goalies: Brent Johnson and John Curry.

Same. BTW i used to be WBSPensFan297187. I switched my name so I could add my stories to my resume. I’m going to be covering WBS this season. Very Excited!
Oh, hey, cool. Good to see you again, WBS!

Good to see the die-hards in the preseason thread :)
Or the hockey addicts who desperately need their fix. (the first sounds better so I’m going with that)
Hey, I like that first one too. Sounds better than “losers who’ve been here all Summer”.

hihi WBS! I mean Tony
Is it October yet?
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
yes it is and yes it is…
I’m just waiting for the season proper to start so I can start watching games again… not patching radio feeds and chasing unreliable video feeds…

The latter was a lot better haha.
If you want to talk about die hard: I bought a notepad today for the sole purpose of documenting my thoughts game by game this season.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Jackets TV is streaming the game
http://video.bluejackets.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=616&id=76187&navid=DL|CBJ|home
My interest is to see the WBS boys play, especially Letestu, Lovejoy (should make NHL top 6), Bortuzzo and Despres.
You probably won’t like to hear this, but I’m a Hershey Bears fan.

lol. I live in Hershey, but yea Hershey has lost most of their depth on d with Alzner and Carlson probably playing for Washington this year. WB/S has signed great d-men, so Bears vs. WBS games may actually be interesting this year haha.

Steve Mears is filling in for Mike Lange I believe.
Looks like most of the stars are getting this game off.

Seems like there’s been more of an emphasis on movement which I love and seems to be working well.

Talbot
Cooke
Asham
Not exactly WBS. This team just looks a whole lot different without 87 71. Less exciting, I’ll admit it.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Yeah, I know it’s actually half Pens, half baby Pens, but without Sid, Geno, Staalsy, Flower, or Free Candy, it just doesn’t feel like the Pens.

Rather poor job by Goligoski – got caught watching the puck, not the crease. Ah, well.

Ah, well.
Won’t be saying that if it happens in the regular season.

I’m slightly more forgiving this time of year.

I’m sticking with you guys again (I think I’ll stay with the formula of watching Leafs game/Pensburgh GDT to update on Pens game when both are on the same day)
So what’s happening?
PS. We’re playing the Flyers last night and tonight, and BillyG Guerin scored on us He also scored in OT, but Army won the game for us :) Army is therefore confirmed as the cooler ex-Pen
PPS. Sid was just on LeafsTV :)
PPPS. Any update on Sid’s injury?
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
What did Siddo say?
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
how Dion will be a great captain and he has a ton of pressure on him in TO.
It was pretty cool because it was a video tribute to Phaneuf, and all of a sudden I hear Sid’s voice. I thought I was hallucinating but I looked up and there he was :D
There was a video of Army talking about himself and his career. He had some pretty good things to say about Sid :)
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
Letestu’s got more minutes than guys like Comrie, Talbot, and Cooke.
I’d say this guy is on his way to making the team.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
will be tough for him to make the team but they are going to give him a good look. One of my favorite WBS guys from last year
Honestly, if they keep giving him ice time and he keep thriving, I don’t think it will be tough for him.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
I dont disagree
He might make the team in Staal’s place to start the season but I don’t see him sticking around as a 13th forward. But who knows its early. Rooting for him though!
Maybe not.
TK better step up if he wants his spot, though. That’s who might end up being shooed away to make room for Test Tube.

I think he skated today. He’s going to be just fine :)

Lol I know who that is!!!
You’re talking about the goal where he refused to play defense on correct?

Indeed.
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

It’s a reply to you, so I think he’s saying he’s a fan
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
It thought Sid was playing tonight
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
Nope…
Seems like they’re testing Kunitz and Comrie. Possibly to see if they have chemistry. I think that Comrie will be put on Sid’s line once Staalsy comes back.
So although Sid isn’t playing, there could be some major implications for his line mates.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
I think they’re also playing Comrie on wing this game, non?
Leafs fan living large in the Pitt and pretending like the drought is over.
Yes, which could be to see how he does on the wing with Kunitz.
Well, it obviously is because they’re playing together but I think it definitely has Crosby implications.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Umm
The goal light is on behind the CBJ net because it thought Sid would be playing (and he’d be scoring so much that you could just leave the light on)
Bad joke on my part
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
Seems like that happens about once every ten games for some reason or another.

No, sounds like they were both rookies.

Hey hey, I never said that.
You can take our whole team as long as we get Crosby. Just leave us Bozak and Phaneuf, we’ll take care of the rest /AHL callup time

Gogo has played like shit this game…
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Indeed.
His skill set looks a lot like Gonchar (good offense, bad defense), except that his offense isn’t good enough to make up for his defense, as was the case with Gonchar.

I get that but I don’t buy it as an excuse…
Considering he’s one of the senior Pens in this game, I’d expect some semblance of consistency. This ain’t the minors anymore… You can’t be a one-trick pony here. I don’t expect him to win the Norris but at least be self-aware on the ice…
He’s still has a little time but we got to draw the line somewhere…

When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Comrie has to make the this team and play in the top 6, the kid has good offensive instincts and you can’t teach that

He’ll be playing with Geno until Staal come back. Then, he’ll probably be put on Sid’s line.

My reasoning is that in the cold, you can always put on more layers. When you’re hot, there’s a limit to what you can take off (plus when you reach that limit and are still hot, what do you do?)
Plus winter means snow, hot chocolate, and this sport called hockey :)

You know it! I forget what you’re studying. Something with numbers … ?
Leafs fan living large in the Pitt and pretending like the drought is over.
Political science. I’m the quantitative empirical type (not a theorist) so yes there are numbers. :)
Got it :) Heh … I’m the game theory/rationality theory type of philosopher — so all sorts of numbers are involved for me as well.

Oh cool, we have that in political science too. Though I don’t personally do it, I read a lot of it.
Awesome :) (I always get excited when I find people who might have a clue what I’m talking about!)

My philosophy teacher said context is the answer to everything

If only we knew how to define “context”. That’s the real question!

the context of context is contextually based on context which is contextual

Ok so I bought a legal note pad so I could jot down my thoughts on the Pens for every game this season.
So I start writing down my expectations and my projected lines, and guess the city who manufactures my new, shiny legal pad?
Pittsburgh, PA. Oh yeah, right on the corner of the pad.

Sid pronounces “Toronto” the cool way ;)

How does he say it?
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
The way us natives say it: “Toranno”/“Torana”
It’s easy to spot an tourist or immigrant, they usually pronounce the 2nd ‘t’
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
I do that too…
Toranno… My teachers used to bash my head in for faulty pronunciation… that’ll show em…

You are an honourary Torontonian (the 2nd ‘t’ is pronounced in that word)

Interesting read, TonyAndrock.
I did have a little trouble with this statement, though:
The biggest question mark for the Lions is their rushing attack.
It’s a question mark, for sure, but I think Bolden is a bigger one still. Frankly, I can’t see him making it through the year without ceding the job to Newsome at some point, at least temporarily.
Still, I think we can handle Temple. Too much defense.
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89
Hard work always beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.
I see it differently
I think the reason for Bolden’s miscues are caused by the lack of a rushing attack. If the running game can get going I believe it will take alot of pressure off Bolden. It looks like he thinks he has to make all the palys and it shouldnt be that way.
You guys remember this?
Awesome game.
Hope to see this Gogo this season.
When will the season finally start, you ask? Well, here's your (new and improved) answer.
Well … I guess Curry is getting his chance …
Leafs fan living large in the Pitt and pretending like the drought is over.
PR
Will you be watching the game on a TV feed? Because on the original feed (on LeafsTV) has some great segments on past and present Leafs which are definitely worth the watch
"Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience... hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock.
I think it’s a truncated version of the game, and I doubt I’ll get all the LeafsTV fun. But we’ll see!
