ZAR and Rodrigues makes up 2/3 of a good 4th line.

Just get that other 1/3.

 

[ColePens]

I want to give love to a few players gettingno love tonight..

Ceci, Dumo, and Geno.

Okay.. one of those things is not like the other.

 

[SEALBound]

To be fair, that was an awful pass by Bleuger.

The issue is that with Tanev on the ice, the Penguins don't really do anything. It's just eating away minutes.

It's the same problem as last year. Sure, it's great that they're good defensively, but they did so little offensively that they ended up a wash. You're really relying on your top-6 winning games for you if your bottom-6 is structured to draw even at best.

I just dont see it. I think he was creating some solid chances out there hes just not a great finisher. Im not real big on ZAR on the top 3 and think someone else in that spot could make a big difference on that 3rd line. (lol as i type this up ZAR says f u)

Kind of a sloppy/strange game.

They didn't look good for much of it though the Rangers didn't exactly dominate. I'd be very unhappy with Kakko and Lafreniere if I were them.

Geno and Kappy were great. Matheson-Ceci somehow survived. Let's stop with it. Sid extremely bleh again but had a great goal. Life of a star. Dumo-Letang were extremely solid. Dumo has come back MUCH BETTER from the latest injury.

 

[sovietsanta87]

I dont see Bingo71 on here...does he/she only show up when the pens are losing?

 

[Shaftception]

Jankowski turnover umpteen.

I've got the PGT title covered

 

[StroShow]

Pens finally going to have a positive goal differential!!

Geno looks great, he's come alive folks

Very solid game by CDS as well, he's been great this year.

 

[SomeDude]

Coming to complain about BART on HF then they score.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

He and Malkin may be Sullivan's two least favorite players, but it certainly is ironic that they hold the key perhaps more than any other two players save Jarry to his future.

I don't care what people say, you can just tell that it's true. He's a typical North American coach and he was a grinder himself, it is no suprise that he isn't as comfortable with guys who can be spacey at times.

 

[66-30-33]

Missed the 3rd period..passed out with my back pain. Nice we won.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Let guys fight

 

[StroShow]

Janko with some fire there wow, like to see that from him

 

[vodeni]

I hate when ZAR scores incredible lucky goals.. means more ice time for him

I wish he would score lucky goal no two lucky goals every night, no issues with that

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

But youre assuming that he fits on a line here to put up 20 goals....i dont think he does. He didnt fit with malkin's line. They arent going to put him on the top line. Is he going to score 20 goals with Bleuger at center?

No idea, but Blu needs some more offense. If we are going to go with 3 offensive lines then we having forwards who can score is never bad.

And 50% of this board said Malkin is done and we should trade him. I'm def willing to give Zucker more or a chance there to let it play out. Ill admit I wasn't as big as many were on here about brinigng in Zucker but it grew on me.

I'm sure as hell not going to write him off after the slow start our whole team pretty much had

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

I keep saying it that he's way more creative than anyone gives him credit for. He doesn't play a full system style game. He creates and that pisses some of these awful NHL coaches off because they want full control.

He also didn't over-skate and fly out of control towards goalie... slowly paced it out and let Geno get in position.

Kid is good.

 

[Rakell67]

Janko with some fire there wow, like to see that from him

I missed it, what happened?

 

[HandshakeLine]

I missed it, what happened?

Dropped the gloves after the horn, probably going to get suspended. I call it a win-win.
