The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without Jake Guentzel for the next little while, as head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters that the sniper will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury. Guentzel is having another outstanding season with 15 goals and 27 points in just 24 games.
The 27-year-old forward now sits at 136 goals and 284 points through his first 323 career games, even closer to point-per-game production if you include his playoff performances. On a team that has some of the most recognizable players in the league, Guentzel sometimes doesn’t get the credit he deserves as one of the league’s premier offensive players. Losing him, especially just as things are starting to roll for the Penguins, will be a difficult thing to deal with.
- TSN revealed its first Trade Bait board for this season compiled this time by new insider Chris Johnston. Ben Chiarot of the Montreal Canadiens tops the board, as one of the few impact defensemen that will be available at the deadline this year. As Johnston notes, players like Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson were once expected to hit the market this year, but the Anaheim Ducks are playing well enough now that that may not be the case.
- One of the other players on that list is Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk, who was the focus of one of Elliotte Friedman’s latest 32 Thoughts. The Bruins are “definitely willing” to trade DeBrusk according to Friedman and are “unafraid to take a chance” on a younger player in return. They won’t just sell off DeBrusk because of his public trade request.
Hello Gavin,
Can you fix the sentence? You put ‘that’ twice. Please & thank you.
“As Johnston notes, players like Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson were once expected to hit the market this year, but the Anaheim Ducks are playing well enough now ‘that that’ may not be the case”.
It’s correct grammar, you can have that twice together
You don’t know about that, JD in NS.
dude, the double “that” is – in that context – grammatically correct.
the second that implies they are playing well and them hitting the market may no longer be the case.
Wow, Josip. That’s what you call a “fail”. You just earned a 5 day posting suspension. Congrats, Gavin!
A case of “Congratulations, you played yourself” rears its ugly head again.
Let us pray for Josip, as he is the latest victim.
The the sound of the grammar police
Next, you’ll tell me that that that that is better than this one.
I see what you did there
