Just hope Petry isn't seriously injured, but it didn't look good.
I'm sure Beau would know
. Seriously though, let's hope the for the best. What's great is we have the D depth to survive injuries.
Shit if we’re talking about questionable decisions, what about being a middle aged person on the internet? Horrendous.
Define middle aged...
I'm not sure where I stand these days :\.
I'm OK with Geno not getting out there for empty net situations.
I just think people need to keep that in mind when discussing his production and fancy stats start getting thrown around. I said it a few weeks ago...He's gets all the -'s when we have an empty net and none of the +'s when they have an empty net.
That is a valid point.
Based on the stats:
Penguins Against Empty Net:
7 scored - 3 allowed (so +4)
Penguins With Empty Net:
2 scored - 5 allowed (so -3)

As for the game...
- Impressed with how the team is playing overall. The 4th line wasn't falling over itself this game. Geno is getting his points, but something seems to be bothering him. If need be, they should just give him games off during the season (assuming he doesn't get injured).
- I'm actually impressed with POJ, and that Sully is ACTUALLY giving him a leash to grow. I said this before, he needs to train more with Letang cuz he falls way too much..lol. I saw Letang talking to POJ early in the game, likely giving him tips. He is the perfect mentor, both Montreal born, and both french speaking. I love his stick work, and he's slowly getting better at they physical aspects of the game.
- Every line is bringing something to the table. To be fair though overall, the Sabres didn't come in with their A game, however, realistically they aren't supposed to be a good team, so all is right in the universe.
