Some Saturday Pens Notes.....
The Penguins were back on the ice this morning for another day or workouts and scrimmage number 2. Today it was the white team who had a big day, beating the black team 6-3. The goalscorers for each team were as follows:
Black: Malkin, Staal, Jensen
White: Armstrong(3), Christensen(2), Crosby
Malkin's goal was on the penalty shot and was pretty impressive, deking left and pulling it back to his forehand and burying it. I was starting to think that he would need some time to adjust to the NHL game, I am changing that view. He is the real deal and I can't wait to see him in game action this week.
Sidney Crosby was impressive in scoring his goal. He took a pass through the neutral zone and broke between two defenders, leaving them at least a step behind, moving to the net and shooting. The save was made, but he burying his rebound.
Marc-Andre Fleury really had a bounce back day. Stopping each shot he faced, including 2 penalty shots.
Jordan Staal is also making his case to stay in the NHL. He was impressive in the workouts as well as the scrimmage. He scored a pretty penalty shot goal and his skating was better than any workout so far this camp.
Ronald Petrovicky, signed via free agency, has apparently had hip surgery and will be out of action indefinitely. This could open the door for a player such as Dan Carcillo or Ryan Stone to make the initial roster.
There were roughly 2000 fans in attendance today at camp. An impressive total. That is right around what the team was drawing last year during camp, as season that the team posted the most improved attendance numbers in the league. Having Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc Andre Fleury and Jordan Staal in camp does not hurt!!
For anyone in the Pittsburgh area or anyone who can access Fox Sports Pittsburgh, the channel will broadcast the Tuesday and Wednesday night preseason games. They face Ottawa and Philadelphia in the two match-ups. Will post the rosters for each game as soon as they are determined. I am sure Malkin and Staal will make their debuts.
The Russian arbitration commitee has ruled that Evegni Malkin is legally only allowed to play for Metallurg Magnitagorsk. They will release a 10 page summery of their decision in roughly 10 days. I do not see this being a factor, at least not according to everything I have heard and read in the last 48 hours. This was expected and Malkin's people have been preparing for it. He should be in the line-up October 5 when the Pens kick off the season.
