Hi DK. In all my years of enjoying Pittsburgh hockey, two words I almost never hear in the same sentence are "Penguins" and "defense". In fact those words rarely appear together in the same paragraph. I think this is a coaching mindset that to a degree is re-enforced by the Penguins fan base. Coaches and fans want to see run and gun fast hockey, moving the puck down ice quickly and setting up for multiple shots on goal. Everyone just seems to to think defense will just take care of itself. Every game I watch if the Pens score at least three goals I have a high degree of confidence they can win the game regardless of the final score. When scoring only two goals it seems almost like an automatic loss. It's not that the Pens can't play defense, it just does not seem to be prioritized in their game strategy. Anyway, thanks for today's update and observation. Go Pens.
Bring back Puljujärvi from Switzerland if you want win in OT or SO.
Let Oilers pickup Jarry or Silovs, maybe both next Oilers game in Pittsburgh. No need to buy extra tickets:))

The shootout stats are meaningless at this point. This season they have the top 3 numbers every single game. Let some others shoot and the other teams dont have Intel. But ro say theor % is this or that latelt its not near that.
Amen DK. 5 games of one on one break aways on our net we in all break th we confidence of this team and turn Jarry into Denis Lemeiux 🤣.
Gotta tighten it up. Great set of games to learn on.
It's a long season. I think our Defense will get better over time. Dan Muse is hitting all the right buttons right now. The last 20 to 30 games of the season will tell the story of how good this team really is. I expect a well placed trade a bit before the deadline. I hope we are buyers and not sellers.
The answer to the shootout issue, is to longer have shootouts..what a stupid way to end a hard fought game
