@Malkinstheman noice, I made the joke about Bane and Marino and his mask...that image @ColePens posted is just moist. Great minds, mate.

Hmmm. So getting 2 top 4 D back had an impact? Who woulda thunk it?
get tanev and Bjug back and this team is real deep. It’s nice to get a big win, Ottawa is trash, though.

We all know Ottawa is trash, but thats a big confidence booster, and a monkey off the back.

We won. We scored. Big guns produced.
Not perfect, not super encouraging, but let's build on it.

Good things mate, gotta look at the good things, the bad stuff they've done 6 games in a row, the good things are goals and keeping a lead. We can take that, join me with alcohol poisoning.was it a perfect game?
no.
was it a massively better game?

@KIRK Marleau is fine on the 2nd line. Give it a game or two, eh?
I seem to remember you saying the same thing about Hornqvist in 2017..

finally...good win...lots of goals...we so needed that
+ everyone except Petts, JJ , Schultz and (sorry) Lafferty...
+ good night in the Metro
+ JJ’s wife giving birth...how soon can she pop out another one?
- it’s Ottawa...let’s keep the expectations real and get a win finally against our toughest competitor who beats us to shreds every game this season: Buffalo ....

Kirk - "Pens look a lot more potent without Johnson. Coincidence?"

++++Murray. Held the fort in the first period when our play was teetering. Great stuff. Quibble on 3rd goal but whatever.
+++++Geno/Sid
+++Zucker. I am learning to accept that no player is perfect and his mitts make up for stuff elsewhere. His hands really are silky.
+++++RUSTY
+++Dumo/Marino
------------------I'm going to just have one more vent and say: Petts and Schultz should be ashamed of themselves for how they played recently. Both 2nd pairing guys by pedigree; it was unrealistic to expect them to be great but they really, really acquitted themselves badly. Schultz is gonna get paid in FA this year and whoever does it is a sucker. An absolute sucker.
Honestly JJ sucks but we all knew that. So not gonna add him in this list. And he's a new parent now apparently so feels wrong tonight.

Nice win. Definitely needed that.
PP1 needs a major facelift though. They can’t be rolling that garbage out in the playoffs. It ain’t gonna cut it.

Random Observations:
Thursday at Buffalo, a team that's had the Pens number.
Then back to back at home to Washington and Carolina.
THAT is your test of this team after reintroducing Marino and Dumo to the equation.
- Can Jack Johnson's wife give birth during every Penguins game?
- I'm not sure how well the Pens played tonight, but they NEEDED this one.
- So far so good, @ColePens, on what we thought the impact of Marino and Dumo returning would be.
- Will be interesting to see what the bar for L2 is as Marleau figures Geno out.
- Marino may not be THE god, but I'm pretty sure he is A god.
- Thinking JR gave Pets that silly contract to make up for not giving Schultz a silly new one.
