    Burn it to the grou……..oh wait. PLAN THE PARADE!

  5. ottertits

    Almost forgot how fun it is to watch a good third period, Lesssgooooo!

  6. tinygaynarcissist

    Can every weekend be like this? 😭

  7. jallnock

    Something different about this group this year. Great start to the season, minus 1 period. LGP!!!

  8. buzzer3932

    Imagine if they scored that many goals every period.

  10. WhaleOfAShortStory

    Malkin line rocking, Ned looks solid, 3rd period vibes are good (!?)

  11. dogeman87

    Not to exaggerate, but I think Geno’s getting more points than McDavid this season

  12. RockyRacc00n

    3rd period and the Pens: did we just become best friends?! YUP.

  13. BroShek

    I feel like having Karlsson in the team is already letting Malkin & Sid feel like there’s less pressure on their shoulders, Geno especially

  14. JKray5_Reddit

    Ned. That’s it. That’s the comment.

  15. xEuroclydonx

    Ned played great. Hope the goaltending keeps looking good. I’ve also loved the way Reilly Smith has looked so far.

  16. Nousernameideas45

    One of Letang and Karlsson was on the ice for 49:34 this game. That’s fucking absurd

  17. red_87

    I don’t think Ned is going to steal us any this year but I don’t think he’s going to lose us any games either. Which is all you want your backup to be.

  18. talac_1

    I like when we score more goals than our opponents.

  19. Cheeks_Klapanen

    * Nedeljkovic is gonna be just fine. It might actually sound crazy to say after one game, but I’m worried about him only being on a one year deal.

    * The points aren’t there for EK yet, but they will be. He’s everything you expected him to be so far.

    * For the love of god get someone in the bottom 6 that can generate some offense. Probably the only real weak spot in the team right now.

  20. CruzControls

    God Geno looks fucking amazing through 3 games so far

  21. Slight-Possession879

    This team ha potential to be really good

  22. robertobondar

    After the Pens were snakebit in the first and sloppy af in the second, I had pretty much resigned myself to a loss. Ned was good, and I think our defence will eventually tighten up (because they’ve been awful handling the puck except for EK). Happy to win two in a row and have a few days off.

  23. mclardass

    Sprong.. Perron.. Petry.. Maata.. Holy hell, Wings are like the Caps now with so many former Pens.. Going to be fun, see yinz on Wednesday

  25. Slooperman

    Five Pens goals in the third period, just as we all predicted.

  26. Shrickery

    Smith really gonna be a straight dawg ain’t he

  27. jokoono4

    Ned looks so calm in net. Such a refreshing change from DeSmith

  28. Catalansayshi

    I remember people saying they shouldn’t resign Malkin. Casual 6 points in 2 games lol.

  29. soon_forget

    The Pens basically have two 1st lines and two 4th lines. Hey, it might work if Malkin’s line keeps playing like this. I do think they need a 3rd line player who can actually score but we’ll see.

  30. bearreport57

    Malkin looking like he’s turned the clock back a decade and is going to just savagely tear the league apart, I love it so much
