I don't think it matters where I play, right wing or left wing.

Yeah he’s a natural left wing but has experience playing the right side, I believe. Whichever side he plays he’s liable to pot some goals playing with Crosby or Malkin. Should be fun to watch.

Playing next to Sid at the top of his game? Even a traffic cone is liable to score some goals. Can’t wait. Need more hockey

If Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too.

The guy just sounds determined to help and positive. I liked this quote too.

“I’ve been able to quarterback the power play in Nashville the last few years. My position was to carry the puck in the zone and try to set up on the left side. … I can play anywhere on that one side, for the one-timer. Whatever kind of looks coach wants, I’m hoping to help with that."

Yeah! I was delighted to hear that. As I see it, getting the puck in the zone and setting up was the #1 issue last season. No one managed to replace Gonch in that regard. And with the lack of a suitable right shooting forward being a close runner up, this signing is making more and more sense by the day.

I think Tangradi’s finally got it figured out—the Pens system in general, the versatility DB loves, et al.
Let’s see what this kid can do this season. I’m excited :)

Oh whoops. What a brain fart—this is about Sullivan.
Tangradi said the same thing to the Pens media today, so I just went a little off topic ;)

Anyone catch his little screw-up on Twitter today?

@Sullivan26

Just been informed that @jordan_staal11 is a fake account… Sorry for the false info that I retweeted….back to dinner I go!

Man’s trying to fit in quick. He’s awesome!

That’s the same impression I got when I saw his first presser with the Pens.
I love this guy already.

Yeah he’s really solid. Hope he can stay healthy and get a chance to show what he can do, because his skill-set (and RH shot) is tailor made to be the best pure skill winger Pittsburgh has had since Sykora.
