With both Talbot Crosby and possibly Dupuis out for tomorrows game vs. the Ducks, stay tuned I am expecting to see a call up from WBS... Right now they will need to call up a winger and a center. I expect the center to be Taffe or Wallace, with a slight advantage towards Taffe. As for the Winger battle i expect either Caputi or Pesonen, who are 6G-14A-20P and 8G-11A-19A respectively. Right now the Penguins probably have more invested in Caputi as he is probably their #1 Prospect in the system. Some people suggested they were gonna bring him up for exposure like they did with Golgo last year. Judging from our current situation, it is not a time for experimentation, and with Jannes track record in Finland and his current produciton I expect him to get the call. This is a HUGE game for Janne. Unlike the other games in which he has been called up, with ShitTank out, there is a semi long-term position available. If he gets called up he will be going against the team who drafted him, so we should probably expect him to be on top of his game...
From the Penguins insider...
Speaking of Pesonen, a funny quote from him today when I asked him about closing in on Minard and Taffe for the team scoring lead. "I'd rather have a great game with no points than a (poor) game with two or three points." Except he didn't say "poor," of course. He said something that rhymes with city. Safe to say he has a good grasp of American slang by now.
Stay tuned people, more to come...
