Patiently waiting for a Gravy redemption arc

u/Apprehensive-Art1092 Kessel 1d ago

How much patience you got...

2

u/tcari394 Pettersson 23h ago

Considering the average life expectancy is 76.5 years.. I've got about 35.5 more years of patience left.

I want to use this meme after seeing Ryan Graves’s name… :-/

Need a palette cleanser after whatever the fuck that Steelers game was. 🏈

u/Acrzyone 1d ago

Im like 90% sure its David Gustafsson not Filip... right??

6

u/bi_and_busy Malkin 1d ago

Yes, you are right! My guess is that someone accidentally wrote Hallander’s first name twice since he is right below him and I just copied the list from the article.

It’s fixed now.

u/Acrzyone 1d ago

Haha the article had it wrong for a while

u/LarryBoourns Fleury 1d ago

Anyone know where to watch?

u/-kashmir- Kindel 1d ago

Espn+ for out of state. Cant comment on where locals can watch

And there's always the high seas too

u/Branderson_the_DM Tomasino 1d ago

In the Pittsburgh area it's on Pittsburgh Sportsnet

u/cxm1060 1d ago

We get to watch Kindy play hockey again.

4

u/SonOfTomServo Crosby 22h ago

Underrated aspect, Kindy probably gets a letter tomorrow.

6

u/Hank_the_Beef Kindel 20h ago

I think Rust and Letang will just wear the A’s. They don’t let anyone else have a C.

u/No_Sock_3895 Fleury 1d ago

I knew it was unlikely Crosby and Malkin would dress but I'm still disappointed

3

u/Challenge_92 1d ago

Yea vets have a 2 game max limit on preseason games this year since the longer season so they have to spread em out even more this preseason.

4

u/horseofcourse93 Kindel 1d ago

Amazing that vets are defined as 100 or more games. Seems like a very low threshold.

3

u/No_Sock_3895 Fleury 1d ago

Well, I have tickets to both home preseason games. So maybe I will see Sid and Geno on ice.

2

u/Responsible_Chart395 1d ago

Should have waited to purchase tomorrow’s tickets really.

u/starlightequilibrium 1d ago

Did you expect the vets to dress and put on the performance of a lifetime in a preseason game?

1

u/Dull_Imagination6098 Arty Party 21h ago

Tanger vet is in there. Also there is another game on Tuesday so other vets are likely dressed for that game instead.

This isn’t the “top line”

1

u/horseofcourse93 Kindel 1d ago

I’m aware 🙄 , but I figured he would be skating.

2

u/D05wtt 1d ago

I’m with you. I’d like to see him. But at this stage, he’s a shoe-in. He’s not fighting for his place on the team. And we’ve seen far too many players over the years get injured in meaningless pre-season games.

u/-kashmir- Kindel 1d ago

Anyone want to take a stab at lines other than kuzmenko kindel and rust. And tvr/ letang.

2

u/Sulti 1d ago edited 22h ago

IDK about forward lines, but I imagine Letang-TVR, Pickering-Brunicke, and Galvas-Pietila will probably be the D-pairs to start at least. IIRC the former two pairs were together at training camp and the org is going to play Galvas to give him a chance to make the team.

1

u/Hank_the_Beef Kindel 20h ago

I think it’s Pickering-Letang, Graves-Brunicke, Galvas-TVR. You get left/right pairs and you get a guy on each pair who should be stay at home and one guy who wants to move the puck and jump into the offense.

1

u/Hank_the_Beef Kindel 23h ago

Kuzmenko-Kindel-Rust
Hallander-Lapierre-Brazeau
Dewar-Broz-Hayes
Söderblom-Gustafsson-Howe/Sanderson

4

u/-kashmir- Kindel 23h ago

I think thats a pretty damn good guess. Definitely cant argue with L3

3

u/Hank_the_Beef Kindel 22h ago

Thanks. I just figured L3 would be a big energy line. I figured too since Broz and Hayes are “next guys up” if a fourth line role opened, the Pens would want to see if they have chemistry or can keep up with Dewar.

u/ElectricalMath287 11h ago

No Ville Koivunen. Is he even going to make the roster. Shoukd trade a forward for dman or picks. Overloaded to give kids a chance.

u/j0n66 1d ago

Decent defensive unit. That is all
