Got it done collectively
That was a fun win!
The officials tried to give that game to the oilers
This win does speak volumes that was possibly the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen and we won despite that!
It 's looks like allready play off team 🙂
Now is only question, if #71 will be healthy and ready to play, also Tomasino. Who will be out and in.
Frome side looks that, first time was puzzle pieces almost in the right place.
Rust-Crosby-Rakkel
Bunting-Glass-Bouvillier
JP-Hayes-O Connor
Nieto-Lizzote-Accari
Probably they will not tuch defensive lineup, thats ok
Ned looks good, looks like Elvis for Bluejacket couple night ago.
If Malkin ready, then he will be second line C and line up probably looks
Bunting-Malkin-Glass, looks productive, Glass have some chemistry with Geno and Bunting anyway will be good
Probably Sullivan not break 4line, this three guys suits also together.
If we looking back. O Connor played here and there, no results no points no goals nothing, he was lost. Hayes basically same here and there, just a few flashes. JP was undervalued and without the coach's trust. And probably he not suits to play with Malkin and Crosby line, also 4line. But this "big boys" together looks good and more producitve , if alone here and there. They give Penguins speed physicality and productivity. Three in one!
Lets see what decisions come from the coach and if everything stays the same in lineup, it would be interesting to see their next performance 🙂
Thanks as always DK for all that you do. btw, re Canada's 4 Nations roster, Stuart Skinner is not the 3rd goalie on the Team Canada roster. It's Sam Montembeault with Jordan Binnington and Adin Hill
Fun to "enjoy" a W for a change, #LetsGoPens!
Ned just always feels like he’s battling and competing out there even if he’s not the more talented goalie, where Jarry just feels too passive.
At what point do they let Ned ride the hot hand. Jarry not the answer. Yesterday if Jarry was in net not sure they win or ot in cards as the infamous 2 goal lead with 10 min left
Good to see D.O.C getting some goals now! The guy has hustle, now he has some goals coming in too! Obviously, Sid passing Joey Sakic for #9 on the all-time list is just great!
I appreciate more positive shows like this. It’s refreshing especially since the Steelers imploded.
The refs are a disgrace. They tried so hard to give them the game after some terrible penalties called at the end of the game.
Anyone think Mcdavid is a wimp, that penalty against rust was horrible, Mcdavid ran into rust and falls. Idk that was bs call, kinda lost respect for Mcdavid. Diving 101.
If sully keeps putting in Jarry he should not be the coach anymore. Ned is playing better. He won that game with some big big saves
Good morning DK, love the daily shots for all three teams and the double shot every weekday. You and your company do phenomenal work. Just got a question for you about Saturday. Assuming your whole day will be revolving around the Steelers, are you recording then rewatching the pens game at 4? Or will you somehow watch it live then go right into watching the Steelers?
they put a few players on waivers and retool could really fix things
Do I believe? Who's in goal?
Dk, Skinner is not on team Canadas 4 nation roster it’s Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and
Sam Montembeault.
Good morning, DK, Victor from Langley City, BC Canada 🇨🇦 I got to actually watch the game last night, and boy, that was fun!!! (Was also flippin to watch Notre Dame too 😁) Yes, they played hard for the majority of the game, and when they do, that results happen, period. A side note, I still don't see how that assist in the first was taken away from Sid and given to Rust? I swear Rust didn't touch the puck. If Sid had scored on the open net backhand, he would have had a 5 point game, with keeping that assist that was wrongfully taken from him. It's been quite some time since he had a 5-point game. That would have him at 50 points in 43 games about 1.17 ppg, and with 39 remaining, he'd need 50 for a 100-point year, which he's been flirting with the last couple of years. His slow starts to the seasons always put him behind off the get-go, but in typical Sid fashion, he then clicks usually 30- 40 games in and we get our 1.25+ Sid in the second half. At 37 years old, his point totals have climbed every year the last number of years, it's like his play is reversing as he's scoring MORE each year not less as he ages??!? So, a 100 point year would be a magical one for him, and for whomever plays the majority with him ie Rust (please stay healthy) and hoping Raks for the rest of the year, they may/would have career years! Just some fun and hopeful thoughts. Blessings as always DK 🙏 ❤️✝️
And no Malkin. I said it over and over with Carter – stop playing the old guys game after game when they're shot. Hayes, Acciari, Nieto, Malkin, etc – as soon as their play falls off, REST THEM – they are only useful physically and mentally fresh. This team REQUIRES sharp play from 19 guys every night.
think you gotta roll with ned… jarry is just so mediocre … also team plays much better together through the middle of the lineup without geno…js… more of a team game and grinding… but geno does sell tickets i get it
I believe they stink and this is an anomaly. Haha
Enjoyed that game! Just the fight they showed was nice!
J1Q What will happen at trade deadline? Will must move or lose players get traded?
That was the best first period we played all year. We were relentless on pucks all night.
Having said that, I don’t think we win that if Jarry was in net.
Good game. The potential for the team is there, but they need to play consistently for 60 minutes and over more than one game and they need to find ways to win games. At this point everyone behind them in the standings has games in hand and the potential to pass them in the standings.
I too am getting there DK. Ned on those rebound shots was amazing. Then they tried to block his view. Although not perfect, the whole team was hot and stayed on the puck. I loved this game. Thank you DK, yes
This was the best all around well played game by the Pens season to date I thought. No bad let downs. One thing I noticed was that at times they just wouldnt just back up and let the opposition into their zone..they would step up and get in their faces and stop a play from even developing..I;d like to see them do more of that. I also think that if this was Jarry in goal, the outcome would have likely been different. He needs to sit.
