took 20 minutes to assemble it and perhaps the best chicken I have ever had and was cooked in 2 and a half hours

used apple wood flavor

making ribs and pulled pork this weekend, takes longer to smoke those

Well Hopefully the Savior can give them a identity. And how long does it take for them to take on that identity.

Super Ruff, but truly I hope he gives this Team a identity and they take off. Hopefully it doesn't take long for the players to grasp what Lindy wants.

Hope he blossoms here, kinda intrigued with him at LW with Cozens and that Speed. But that throws of everything off.

Greenway doesn’t fit, IMO.

The LOG Line were possession merchants. Once they got the puck, they did an excellent job of protecting it. While nothing would come of their efforts in the form of scoring chances, they were low-event minute-eaters used to suppress opposing scoring lines.

They achieved their success in this area without being a particularly physical trio. None of them were especially fast either, aside from Girgensons who, as previously mentioned, is an above-average skater.

Aube-Kubel is also the only member of the prospective fourth line who has a history of strong defensive metrics. Malenstyn’s rookie numbers last season were less than inspiring, and Lafferty has been inconsistent (though largely average or slightly above) year-over-year.

So, it lends to reason that this triad won’t be as proficient at suppressing chances-against. That being said, the hope is likely that they’ll leverage their collective puck-retrieval ability, speed, and physicality to flip the ice and maintain possession (while also physically wearing down opposing skill players).

Thanks, Good Read. I am all for Fast, Puck Pressure and using that speed to flip the ice. You, me and a few others have been saying it for a couple years. Now Ruff just has to get it out of them.

Hopefully Kulich steps up

That series has a remote with it right and a charcoal bin you can slide in for regular grilling I believe.

Would Rust fill a need, sucks he's 32. But he's pretty consistent.

- ImThatGuy

been out here sayin

Hopefully Kulich steps up
- Buff36

Another year under his belt, full offseason to build strength, I want to see Kulich and Rosen duel it out for Greenway's spot.

Or, they can maybe try Krebs with McCleod and Benson to turn that line into a strong forechecking, complimentary offensive line

No remote but you can control it with bluetooth and wifi. You can use it for regular grilling too but more times than not, it's a hassle. Unless you're looking to sear a beer can chicken or something.

I thought about Rust a few times, but yeah he's 32. I wouldn't want to pay too much with that age/contract.

I'd say the value to the Pens is way higher than the market value.

Being equally or more effective in a different way is not a bad thing.

Yeah, I can hook mine up to my phone to. Check Temps so I can get other things ready. Pretty nice
