Just saw where it could be 4 – 6 weeks. I am hoping for 4 weeks but as long as he gets healthy I am happy. Hopefully the Pens continue their excellent play while being short handed with injuries.

If it’s not a top 6 foward. it’s a top 4 d-man. !@#$%^&*

Is Sid ready yet?

Don’t despair. The Pens will continue to shine. Conquering adversity is what makes a champion.

Maybe it can be a reverse jinx!

As long as we are healthy by February.

Yeah, this sucks big time, and it’s getting VERY frustrating!! I just keep telling myself better now and get it out of the way then have it happen at the end of the season like last year.

Eh.

And this is why you sign guys like Picard, and hold onto all three of Engelland, Niskanen, and Lovejoy. Depth is a true blessing in the NHL, and fortunately, we have enough to get by for now.

Luckily, Engelland hasn’t looked out of place filling in for the missing top 4 defensemen he’s had to fill in for(Orpik, Letang), so hopefully he can continue his good play.

all these penguins injuries are like traffic here in DC….it sucks, but after a while you just get used to it. Funny thing is, MacIntyre still won’t get any playing time, yet continue to eat up a roster spot

by NoVAPensFan on Oct 24, 2011 5:50 PM EDT reply actions

I won’t be surprised to see him against the Islanders though…

I like it. Bill Guerin’s uppercut is so awesome it wins fights he’s not even in.

head hits desk

Really the only initial reaction I can garner. Sigh in frustration and lower my head to the desk. What are you going to do though?

Are we calling a D up for just to have in the wings?

I think that’s not necessary right now, as we have 6 healthy d-men and a day off between each of our next 3 games, all of which are relatively close to home(New York, Home and Toronto). Plenty of time/opportunity for a call up if needed at a later time. Plus, it looks like we finally get a break in the crowded schedule, with only 7 games in the next 21 days. Possibly might need to call someone up by next Thursday(Nov 3) as we are heading out west for games against the Sharks and Kings.
