Man what the hell ever happened to Dustin By-foog-lee-uhn anyway? That's an awfully large human being to just sort of disperse to the ether.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Tim Hortons fresh???

Maybe 20 years ago. Not now.

He made 100 million and had a cup so he was like f*** this basically.

Reportedly dude just liked fishing and the Jets f***ed up a surgery ala Tarasenko.

Then I wish him well and many delicious bass.

Most Winnipeg Pens games are fun. We tend to get injured though.

Legitimately wonder these days if we'll ever see those two replicate one of these moments ever again.

Penguins Alumni Game 2032. JK society is collapsed by 2032.

Tonight the great mystery of the world will be answered?

Is Sidney Crosby better than Mark Schieffle?

Or was it Barzal? I can’t remember. Maybe still Prucha

Go Pens

I almost forgot that Steve Downie was a Penguin. How long was his PIT career? 238 minutes? No, that is his career best PIM (just happened to be his season with PIT).

This is the picture of a man who carries a saw and shovel in a bag in his trunk.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

That's what happens when you visit Winnipeg lol, players would rather stay at the rink!!

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Going to be a tough game.

Winnipeg has in my opinion one of the best goalies.

Connor has been scoring last 2 games he hasn't so his chance is coming this game.

PLD Ehlers Schiefle as well.

Poink who shuts down the Oilers pretty well.
(Limits chances hard to contain McDrai)

Going to be a good game to judge and see if we are going on the right track. I just want to see good playing the right way. A win preferably.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I have no clue what to expect with this team. One night they look like utter trash, then the next they're putting up a defensive clinic. It's like there's no middle ground with these guys. They're either all-in or all-out.

 

[KIRK]

this was a good game

That was the game every Jets player was taking runs at the Pens and Geno just reached the point where he was like "**** this shit" and hit Wheeler high . . .



Which in turn led to this a few weeks later in Winnipeg . . .



He had the Gordie Howe HT in that one . . .

 

[Andy99]

I don’t know how I feel about this game…good team and better goalie…and I still don’t have a lot of confidence in the Pens…our finishing ability is for shit

Having said that, I won’t be at the dog park for the start of this game because of the late start, so that’s likely to be the kiss of death for the Pens…

I remember those series of games against WPG and also that amazing OT goal where G got his stick around Scheifele and got to the puck and passed it to Sid beating Wheeler I think to the front of the net for a sweet goal..

The Pens are no different than any other bubble team. They'll look like world beaters for a few, bottom feeders for a few, and somewhere in between for a few. If the good outweighs the bad by enough, they're in the playoffs. But, what that means for any given night is anyone's guess, because there's little rhyme or reason to any of it this season.

My issue is more to do with effort level/execution. Shortcomings in talent can't be controlled, but how much effort you put in can be. And that's where I think the Pens' biggest issue has been this year (and frankly, the last handful).

That's not to say that as long as they work hard, they win all the time. Of course they'll run in to superior teams working just as hard, or into hot goalies, or into teams with more puck luck. But games like versus that depleted Ottawa squad are 100% squarely the result of a lack of effort. That shit needs to be cut out.
