GDT: #25 | Pens @ Kings | Hollywood Game Night | 12.5 | 4PM Root Sports

If Sid gets an extended shot with BB his problems will improve quickly. Mark my words.

 

[ColePens]

Fleury is god....

 

[DoktorZaius]

Hugeeee save on the 3-on-2

 

[KIRK]

Fleury!

And again.

 

[radapex]

Jesus christ, don't hook him. Flower is pretty decent in those situations....

He's also pretty good in penalty shot / shootout situations. As in... the best goalie in the league since they brought in shootouts.

 

[Fordy]

remember when dupuis was a good defensive player. dude's out for a skate

 

[Shrimper]

Fleury is the only player who has put his all in every game.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Fleury's doing his best "Save this team and MJ at the same time" act again.

He's been rock-solid since giving up those last two Kings goals.

 

[Fordy]

an extended camera angle where you can't see any of the ice

 

[radapex]

Fleury is god....

I can't remember the last time I've seen a goalie give up 4 in a game and play was well as he has. It's an anomoly in today's NHL.

 

[DoktorZaius]

He's also pretty good in penalty shot / shootout situations. As in... the best goalie in the league since they brought in shootouts.

True, at the time I wasn't sure if they'd actually call the PS (sometimes the refs don't even when it's very clearly a break). You're right...I'm very confident in his penalty shot/shootout ability, but I don't trust our PK for **** right now.

Plots to L2. I'm not sure Perron was the problem, but the extra jam helped.

 

[JackFr]

If Kunitz stays on L1 Perron is gone.

If we could somehow find another faster Plotnikov for L1 that'd be fantastic.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Plots to L2. I'm not sure Perron was the problem, but the extra jam helped.

Now if Perron would move to Crosby's left we'd have a dynamite top 6.

 

[KIRK]

If Kunitz stays on L1 Perron is gone.

If ?

Now if Perron would move to Crosby's left we'd have a dynamite top 6.

See above.

 

[ColePens]

Really like plots development. He's playing so well.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Would like to see Perron-Crosby-Bennett or Sprong-Crosby-Bennett. If Sprong were a player that's allowed to play, that is.

 

[Pancakes]

If Sid gets an extended shot with BB his problems will improve quickly. Mark my words.

One can hope. That goal clearly energized him too, he looks like Sid again this period.

Of course we've seen this a few times so far this year where he'll get a goal and look great and then the next game it's back to what he was. I'd like to see him carry this third period into the next few games for once.

 

[radapex]

Plots to L2. I'm not sure Perron was the problem, but the extra jam helped.

That was a really good shift out of 61-71-81, too. Plots has been playing really, really well once he started to find his comfort level. Just a matter of time until the points start rolling in for him.

 

[JackFr]

I got exhausted just watching Plots on that shift...

 

[Fordy]

"kunitz has been involved in every goal this game"

as has bennett and you know he's the one actually attracting attention out there. but whatever

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

One can hope. That goal clearly energized him too, he looks like Sid again this period.

Of course we've seen this a few times so far this year where he'll get a goal and look great and then the next game it's back to what he was. I'd like to see him carry this third period into the next few games for once.

He looks like Sid again because he has space. Sid without space will always look like trash.

Plots to L2. I'm not sure Perron was the problem, but the extra jam helped.

Would still love to see Plotnikov and Kessel with Geno, and Bennett (LW) and Hornqvist with Sid. Just to see if Bennett could make the swap effectively.

We're gonna need someone to switch and be able to not miss a beat. Whether it's Bennett, Hornqvist or Sprong, someone's gotta shift over if they want to be in the top-6.

 

[Fordy]

owww

plots has to be hurting after that

 

[KIRK]

Oh did Cole sell that one.
