We have an Eakin sighting.  4th line C in preseason. Good sign or bad omen?

Probably not.  Likely wants to see Eakin with guys who will likely make the team.

Yup most likely our 4th line.

[dudacek]

Bjork will make the team, but he has done very little from what I've seen and at least needs to find a role.

I'd say the "2nd" line is Buffalo bound, as are Cozens and Thompson, even as they experiment with them.

The other forwards are playing for jobs.

Granato mentioned that if He is not ready to play Center, He’s a candidate to switch to wing. 
 

TBH, playing Him in Rochester, Centering Peterka and Weissbach on the Amerks Top Line would be the best move for Him.

So what’s the trick to watching the game tonight?

Means nothing.  Is IIRC his 2nd game.  The 5 guys that were originally sitting & still are sitting have 5 of the 12 game night slots locked.

Will be interesting to hear why Hinostroza bumped in for the new guy.

They have to play 12, so the 6 that won't play without great showings (subset including Eakin) get to play and the 3 other safe guys play & the 3 bubble guys play.

MSG is showing the Pens broadcast.

[Zamboni]

Yea! We made it past the two min mark without a goal against!

[Doohicksie]

Eakin

[Taro T]

And for everybody dissing the Sabres turnout for a preseason game, the Pens have MAYBE 4x the fans the Sabres had vs the BJs.

People don't pay 50% NHL prices to watch AHL lineups.

I've got the ESPN+ feed with WGR550 and they're naturally in sync this point.  Even the rink sounds are pretty much on.

Yea! We made it past the five min mark without a goal against!

Blueger!!!

MURRAY 

[darksabre]

Great play by Cozens to set that up 

[Zamboni]

Very nice Murray!

[Doohicksie]

[Andrew Amerk]

Brett Murray makes the team!

[bob_sauve28]

Alright!! Murray, and nice passes from the two before, did not catch who they were 

 

Beautiful play and finish 

[dudacek]

Murray’s size, Quinn’s hands and awareness.

It’s what I want to see.
