The preseason gets underway tomorrow for the Penguins tomorrow up in Rochester. There won’t be a radio call of the game by Mike O’Brien, but he will be tweeting. I’ll take notes and throw up a quick recap afterwards tomorrow night.
— There’s ice in the barn. Pretty.
— Tom Kuhnhackl and Harrison Ruopp were sent to Wilkes-Barre today. Remaining up in Pittsburgh are Brian Dumoulin, Andrew Ebbett, Chris Conner and Zach Sill. Dumoulin is about 7-10 days away from being cleared to play again. Pittsburgh released their roster for their final preseason game tomorrow and neither Ebbett, Sill or Conner are on it. In fact, the roster looks more like a regular season NHL roster than it does anything else. So, reading the tea leaves, you could safely say that those three will be in Wilkes-Barre soon.
— Jonathan blogged today with among other things, his thoughts on the WBS goaltending situation. He seems to think the Pens will be fine in goal. I’m much more skeptical than he is, but you have to remember that Bombulie is around the team much more than I am, is more hockey-educated than I am and is the expert. I’ll take a “wait and see” approach.
— Out of Jonathan’s blog, he reports that Eric Hartzell and Andy Chiodo will split time in net for the Pens tomorrow in Rochester.
No Gameday setup with the preseason games. Just brief recaps. So check back tomorrow evening.
