Edler's Mind Tricks Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 This has been a long time coming for a player that I have really been rooting for for the last two years and I do really think that he is a better hockey player than anyone on our fourth line by a significant margin. He agitates, he hits and he fights very well. He is also reasonably fast and decent defensively while putting up points in the AHL. I said two years ago he could be Marchand-lite and even though he has had injury after injury, I stand by that. He might play Thursday and if that timeline is too tight, it will be shortly after that he makes his NHL debut. The Pint will be an instant fan favourite.

JordanEberle Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am also looking forward to seeing him play, I don't follow the Wolves closely so I havent seen him play, but I have only heard good things. He has sure had a tough run with injuries, hopefully it works out with him this time, we could definitely use some energy on this team right now.

Wheels22 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looking forward to seeing what this guy can do.. Is he a center too? We could use one of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hope he can live up to expectations. Kid has had a rough go. It would be good if he can play well enough to stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWheeler Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 All this hype for an average AHLer just shows how awful Vancouver's just shows me how bad our situation is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippledCanuck Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just saw someone comment on the story via facebook the suggestion was a fourth line of Pinnizotto Sestito Kassian, Guess they forgot they were two right wings and a left wing and would make for an extremely slow 4th line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

406281dylan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 This so called "average ahl'er" is going to tear it up along side lappy, maybe he can give lappy some hope in playing alongside a solid 4th liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 hoping he can be like Torres out there, huge hits with other team head on swivels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Pinizzotto is a center. He was centering Longpre and Jensen in tonight's Wolves game, and he'll likely come in to play between Sestito and Weise with Lappy staying on the 3rd and one of Raymond or Higgins centering the second. Sedin Sedin Burrows Booth Higgins Kassian Raymond Lapierre Hansen Sestito Pinizzotto Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xur Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 We definately need some heart out there. Althoug Booth did nothing but impress me against the Blue Jackets yesterday. I know he didn't score, but IMO that was his best game wearing green and blue.

DocHouse Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Lol @ the last video. The woman doing the interview with Steve totally wanted to ask him out the whole time. I saw her last 2 (one?) questions a mile away . Here's hoping he can crack the lineup and stick around for a bit. Wishful thinking until we see him play, but perhaps we have another Alex Burrows on our hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Pinn hasn't shown anything at the NHL level. He has only played a handfull of games in the AHL this year. Injuries seem to be a real problem. He seems to be game on the physical side but not that big. They can give him a look but I don't expect much.
