Ben Kindel is present. So are Egor Chinakhov, Evgeni Malkin, and Justin Brazeau. Sam Girard appears to be the only non-contact player (white jersey), but we'll get clarification from Muse. Elmer Soderblom is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and is not practicing.

BREAKING: DoorDash is in advanced talks to acquire its delivery rival Instacart, per WSJ. The mega-merger could be finalized as soon as this week, and it would value Instacart at around $17 billion.

Ryan has a very important article here. Hockey is the last of the big 4 sports I watch and I'm only really invested in the Penguins anymore. To have them circling the capitalism drain would be very hard to take. Combine that with the twilight of the Crosby/Malkin era and it does not bode well.

This is what we call “showcasing.”

Rakell leads all Pens’ forwards with 14:19 TOI through 2 periods. Includes 3:05 on the PP and 2:11 on the PK. Big block on the PK at the end of the second.

This is the essay that has been dying to be written. But it took the eloquence of @espiers.bsky.social to absolutely nail it. "He’s also not the first man to enjoy early success and dine out on it for decades..." I can't unsubscribe from his emails fast enough. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

#LetsGoPens general manager and president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas will speak with the media on Thursday, prior to the team's morning skate, to provide a formal update on forward Ben Kindel's status.

There is genuine public rage about Musk, which is what Congress is responding to, so when he says he will come for the people pulling the strings, he means the voters.

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Two weeks to election day.

White House sources:   In the past few hours, there has apparently been a change in the American position in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran.

It's deeply disturbing how much is known and yet no one has been held accountable.

The Epstein files — by Heather Marsh "This month, what I have mostly been hearing are demands for ‘the Epstein files’. For some, this is a very reasonable demand for a working justice system and a rare point that most people in the US can agree on." #opdeatheaters #3E #Epstein #Maxwell

if democrats practiced politics as well as republicans do we would have spent the last 40 years warning the american public about the dangers of reaganing the economy, aka creating the recession that ended up electing clinton in 1992. instead democrats are still addicted to deficit talk bs.

One of the things I liked best about @btarrington.bsky.social’s book on the 1880 election is how clearly it shows the Republicans were absolutely united on message in calling the Democrats the party of treasonous slavers, even 15 years after the war. Important lessons there.

Let him cook.

Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

Replying to @manuclearb0mb.bsky.social

Cory Booker’s statement didn’t even *name* Ilhan Omar. So why do I think they will jail the Trump admin when they won’t even tepidly defend their own

Kind of maddening considering all the options available.

so far this year Rakell is getting a minute more TOI than last season and :30 over his career high, and he's doing nothing with it
