OBSERVATIONS FROM PENGUINS INFORMAL SKATES
— Sergei Plotnikov, He’s a player that many eyes will be on in training camp. Keep in mind they’re just informal skates, but Plotnikov has fit the scouting report. He’s a rugged winger and looks bigger than the size he’s listed at. Decent hands in around the net and you see some offensive instincts are there.
The one area that stands out is a slow first couple steps. That’s something of a red flag scouts have for him in transitioning to the NHL, at least in a top-6 role. Once he gets going he’s a good enough skater but it’s those first couple steps that could plague him.
— Kevin Porter, I played with Kevin in 2000-2001 with Detroit Honeybaked and the Penguins organization are adding a great guy to their room in Wilkes Barre. Don’t be surprised if he see’s some time in the NHL. The Penguins view him as potentially this years’ version of Andrew Ebbett. Someone who can be serviceable and play a 4th line role. Excellent north-south skater and good two-way instincts.

Gay Sam -23!
bj depaoli aka william depaoli…5ft 7 165…42 games played at cal 61 goals 78 helpers…wow
Is the normal message blog gone?
-22!
Depaoli played for Detroit Honeybaked? I need to see some stats. What was his Corsi and Fenwick? Jaydogg can you check on this?
Not stats but as I said before I got to see D play once when he was at Serra (I believe he was a freshman that year they won the state championship) and know people that played with him, D had mad skills and was the all time leading scorer at Cal and I believe a ACHA hall of famer.
Has was definitely more skilled with a hockey stick than he is with the English language.
Got that right!
Thanks Jay. Wow I never knew that.

It’ll be interesting to see how Simply Dusty responds…
Go Gay Fat Sam!
Excellent “D” and now that the season is getting close time to get interested again
Good stuff D… this is what we have been craving. Nice report on Plotnikov. I hope he is a servicable asset that contributes when called upon. Would be great if he fit a second line role with Geno
Sam has quickly opened up a -34 to -17 lead over Simply Dusty. Very impressive handicap.
Add -2 to that, I just gave Gay Fat Sam two thumbs down.
add another -2
If only I could down vote him.more than once
Keep in mind we have yet to hear from yoda. This could get interestingly bad real fast.
Loving the new site, D. Keep it up.
Good quick hits d
Sergei Plotnikov will start on top 2 lines and end up on 3rd by the time team is in the playoffs
Bryce Williams called repeatedly, saying he wanted to pitch a story and needed fax information. He sent ABC’s newsroom a 23-page fax two hours after the 6:45 a.m. shooting that was part-manifesto, part-suicide note — calling himself a gay black man who had been mistreated by people of all races.All this happened because npl chose Micheal Sam over him
