Sit the f*** down Jarry, Neds got this shit.

Now my heart rate and BP get to fluctuate wondering if Carter will play over Gruden or Poulin.

Also secretly hoping for Nylander to torch us.
He missed the Jackets last game with an injury, but he's DTD, so he might play tonight.

He's been sick or hurt or both or something. He's not in today's projected lines so I wouldn't count on it.

Nonetheless I found the sentiment funny because we're hoping the same/opposite for Bemstrom. Specifically if he could score 5 goals tonight to get to the 6-goal mark re: the draft pick.

I don't think there's a CBJ fan alive that thinks the Jackets have any chance of competing in tonight's game, let alone winning it.

The Pens are a .507 team. Overestimate them at your own peril.

So CBJ fans are delusional as usual :P

Understood. But the Jackets are a bottom feeder playing out the string in a disaster of a season and that's before you remember that the Pens -Jackets relationship is like the big brother who just stands there with his hand on his little brother's forehead while the little brother swings away madly while hitting nothing.

Anyway, if the Jackets could give themselves a chance in one of these next two games I'd rather it be Saturday when I'll be at the game. (After a quick Friday-Saturday overnight in Pittsburgh to attend to some family business.)

This is why I'm always a little perplexed when I read:

The Penguins are wasting all-star performances from Jarry! The goaltending is not a problem!

Kick the 24 pick to SJS, trade out Jarry, Pettersson, Smith, and Rakell. Let's get the party started.
Hopefully those comments were from the first half of the season lol

He was doing much better and has fallen off. People still going off outdated narratives.

Well either we win enough games to give our pick to SJ or we don't and get a shot at Macklin. Win/win as far as I'm concerned. I'm ok with either scenario.

I’m at the point where I sort of just want to win enough games and give the pick away that way it’s not hanging over our heads anymore. Just get it over with.
Kinda torn on whether this will actually happen. Our April schedule is brutal so even if this team tries they might lose most of those games.

But we do have this b2b against Columbus obviously.

Love that article title. Comments section is a sad affair of Pittsburgh sports fans though.

"We just don't have a good team in front of him" says the same fan that sees this happen, every single March like clockwork, for Jarry's entire career as a Penguin

They're as cringe as Getzoff's analysis of what a big/huge hit is.

Honorable mention to his tire pumping of Graves / shot blocking.

But yeah, no clue what the takes are about how Jarry has kept this team in it (at what point were we ever in it?) or how we owe so much to him.

To be fair, he played behind a completely different team back in November and December.

Oh wait...
