I could not agree more with your shootout comments. Spot on. Although I really hate taking the moment out of Sid or Genos hands. I think the outcome will be mixed at best and very inconsistent meaning what really should happen is get it done in OT. Those trios seemed out of sync.
Sid is very predictable on shootouts. He could still deke any goalie out if his jock, but he goes for a calculated snapshot every time. Make the goalie move.
Hey Dan – did I hear like 1 or 2 “LETS GO PENS” chants there throughout the game ? like – I swear I heard ‘em when they were in the lead & dominating the play for brief stints – my hearing is terrible but even most hearing impaired people can differentiate the words “PEN” & “STAR” ENNN & ARRR are very different & noticeably different with so many other sounds going on at the same time
Ben Kindel greater than Kris "I never score in the shootout" Letang and Geno "I never scored in the shootout" Malkin. Seriously insightful that Ben Kindel the Calgary shootout Hitman himself and others should be in the shootout just to freshen it up. I'd go 87, Ben Kindel, AND NOT GENO AND SAME MOVE LETANG.
?. why wasn't a timeout called after the icing, imo that's a fail by HCDM for not trying to calm things down, give the boys a rest. Am I missing something here? Jarry was fantastic.
Pens 4th liners all picked up a point. Dewar, Acciari, Lizotte. 87 got an assist. Novak has been showing some playmaking and vision recently and picked up the goal tonight. Novak had the vision to pass and assist on his own goal. Novak can play with different players. I'll take a point from the Stars in Dallas minus GENO. Glad you are on late at night Dan.
This team is for real, that's my take away from this game…toe-to-toe with two of the conference leaders in their barns the past 2 games…3 out of 4 points…Dan, does this team believe in themselves?…it still seems they are on the fence with themselves.. Shootouts: no more Crosby, no more Rust…give someone else a chance…Novak, Kouvinen, Karlsson all come to mind
