Never did like the shootout. It's a circus sideshow to save for the skills challenge in the all-star game. Go to 4v4 for 10 minutes and then go back to the ties.
It doesn't seem fair when people put the whole blame of losing a shootout on a goalie. Yes, Silovs should have had more saves at this point, but let's be honest here and admit that the shooters have been weak as well. They all should practice the shootouts together to improve each other's game.
The team just can not finish with the best of them. It is just nonstop low shot after low shot after low shot.. they donāt create traffic in front of the net, they arenāt creative at all on their breakaways or shootout shots and they attempt five hole or around the goalies pad low along the ice every single time and it never ever ever goes in. When they have an odd man break, itās just guaranteed that they will either miss the net or pass it too hard to the other skater, they just can not score like your torontos, red wings, Edmonton, avalanche, etc. i just canāt understand why itās been this way for like 3-4 seasons now at least. They just are allergic to elevating the puck
Never liked the shootout. It just feels like such a dumb way to decide hockey games. I feel like they should just expand ot to 10 minutes and if thatās really not enough to decide it just bring back ties. Pens played good
Letang needs to retire. He got away with his previous mistakes in the last few games because the goals he allowed didn't decide the game like in his turnover today. On top of his frequent turnovers, if there is a two on one, 90% of the time Letang will stand in the middle of the two attacking players, not committing to either, watch as they pass to each other and score. It is so frustrating to watch!
Shilov played an awesome game, great job! Shootouts are basically a gamble ā 70% on the forwards, 30% on the goalie. Why isnāt anyone talking about how the forwards canāt score
Karlson was a defensive beast today, I never thought Iād ever say that. lol Graves was good too. Letang thoš¤¦āāļø I cringe every time he touches the puck.

The better team lost today, not a fan of the shootout
Letang's screwup was a bigger factor in this loss than the refs.
Graves looks like the guy we originally wanted when we signed him. Im super happy for this turnaround

STREETS AHEAD š If you don't know, you're streets behind.
You have to start considering putting in the other goalie for shootouts. AS is laughably bad at it.
Im fine with the result, yeah it sucks the shootout loss but just play a responsible game
When it comes to shoot outs, Silovs couldn't stop a beach ball
Check out the PHN report card, including the player grades and analysis:

Artis… Needs a new shootout strategy. Instead of trying to react… Just choose a side to defend and you'll get 50/50. Like Soccer penalty shots.
They need to sub silovs before the shootouts lol

Shootout = Loss every time…..

Lol saying dominated while the advanced metrics says it was an even game. Don't just look at the shotclock misterš
If jarry lays in that game , they score 5 goals !

I always called ranke stanke because hes sucked for years now at least every time he Refs a Pens game that I watch
