Been a while since I've been here, but been happy to see the team play well and fight for a playoff spot. I thought they were a bottom 10 team again, and they may still be, but they've played better than I thought. They are still mostly a one line team, Gino's line has filled in at times but mostly Sid's line carrying most of the weight. The other lines have been good, at times controlling play, at times not. I think this roster needs a lot of work to be a contending roster, but its good to win.
I appreciated your comment on not spending on cap space….you don't have to spend if there aren't better things out there…except there were and are…and like Jordan once said "the Cubs have been rebuilding for 100 years"….I think there is value in always going for it, even when you are retooling
You called it yesterday, that looked like that first rangers game, loved it!
When the injury guys come back drop mantha. An put Hayes on malkins line .. mantha is lazy
Thank you DK. I love it when they attack and bring it to the net, rebounds and more shots. Jarry was on his game too. Feels really good and looks even better. Great show DK
Geno cheated out of yet another good goal in what's becoming a historic season for he & Sid (at their ages). Sickening!
The impressive part of that win may have been they dominated all game long while the on ice officials were trying hard to keep the game close … also all game long
Thursday will be a huge test. Not a ton of success dahn in Tampa. Also, another Novak goal DK! He's looking like a Swiss Army knife that can be moved into the top 6 but mainly play top 9
There's a lot good to say about last night, I've been hard on Rust but probably his best game of the season, primary assists on Sid's goals. Maybe he needed to shave the cheesy mustache. Hayes is starting to look like himself, last year I thought he was one of the better forwards. Crosby being Crosby, ho hum! The kid line was fun to watch, Koivenan has to break through and watch that line explode, he's gripping the stick too tight. But for me, Imama back in the line up was huge, line four became dominant, had chances, and made some Phillys quietly skate back to their benches. We talk younger, bigger, faster…….how about tougher? Just look at the Oilers who had this same pedigree, two good guys with some punch on the wing. Hyman, Kane, Perry……they traded off 2/3 and now are floundering. If hayes plays big, Mantha plays big, and we have Imamma………it makes the Penguins tougher (& tougher to play against). Plus all three have offensive talent to boot!
Wonderful W for the Pens! (great for the mental health of Burgh fans after the Steelers debacle)
Eh. They can still be better. This win doesn't make up for their past mistakes
The kid line did look good DK. Nice game
😶
I really liked the 3rd line with the kids despite the lack of production. They created chances and weren’t a liability.
DK – What do you attribute to the rise of Parker Wotherspoon? This is only his fourth NHL season, but how does a 28 year old player all of a sudden become a legit top-four defenseman? Did the other teams just not use him correctly? He's making Dubas look like a genius.
Jarry trade value 📈📈📈📈
that goalie interference on malkin was the worst no goal call Ive ever seen ! if that is the standard goalie interference could be called on almost every play around the net . this call was an attempt by the officials to not let the game get out of hand for the flyers ! a call like that is one of the reasons why the NHL will always be slightly ahead of women's tennis and well behind the NFL, MLB,and the NBA among sports fans !
This is what they need to do to make the playoffs. Score. It helps to have a talented goalie like Jarry. And it would be nice if the defense didn't allow so many high danger scoring chances but they scored the puck. That's what it takes. Hockey is about scoring.
The Gino disallowed goal gave me a horrible flashback to the "no skate allowed in the crease rule" days.
The difference I saw was that the Pens had the intensity and grit to last the whole game and were more defensively responsible making the goaltenders job a lot easier. Jarry knew where the puck was almost 100% of the time. I think Boko needs to stay up..he's a valuable asset. No one can convince me he shouldnt get regular minutes on a 3rd or 4th line. Dude is tough and can play. I think the Pens are 1 goatlender and 2 d Men away from a deep run in the playoffs. I saw a total team effort
Heck yeah I can't wait for a double shot of penguins
DK, Kyle Dubas himself has said that FSG has bolstered their scouting and staffing departments since he’s been here and that they have put their money where there mouth is. Does that count for nothing? FSG isn’t perfect, no owners are, but I think they’ve done a good job. They’ve tried to supply the team anyway they can, and stayed out of the way.
