Yeah, it may change our season and not for the better, unfortunately. Rod said in the press conference that Pesce was going to out for "....a long time." That is not good.

Looked like a dislocated shoulder to me... Worst case on that I believe is like 6 weeks. If we somehow make the playoffs still, could have Dougie and Pesce back for playoffs.

As long as it doesn’t involve trading Bean (bring him up to fill in for Pesce) or our first round picks. Second rounder(s) and lesser prospect(s), fine.

It is being reported that we have contacted Chicago about both their goaltenders. I am much more concerned about Reimer than Mrazek. Mrazek just got his bell rung, Reimer could have suffered a knee or groin injury.

Yeah, that is bad news. Pesce is an extremely valuable guy. I am not sure we can easily replace him.

Losing Pesce and Dougie is just insanely bad luck, but who knows, this team has done some crazy stuff these past 2 years. Fleury dominated the 2nd and 3rd periods last night with bigger minutes. If he keeps that up we may be okay without adding a D other than bringing Bean up. Just gotta keep fighting like our lives depend on it, which they do with how close the metro is... Amazingly, we’re just 6 points back of first in the Metro, with the Pens having 1 game in hand but we play them 4 times still....

I mean this is why we have stacked depth. That Keane trade is looking pretty smart right now too.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
