Lindgren went huge too. Overhead near the end of the clip.
That helped get us to OT, where we sealed the deal.

At the end of the day, you have to be able to shut down 4 capable lines. Its as good a team as Sid/Geno have ever had.
If you can keep this team to 2 goals or less, you pretty much deserve to win.

A real jerk thing
While Barry Trotz is a gigantic semi-sentient toe, I'd also like to point out that the Pens have a significant BOFA advantage over the Isles.

@Pittsburgh1776
Game intensity is different but 71's acceleration here is encouraging.

Nothing about Geno's solo session / practice sends positive vibes at me.
How could anyone take that as a positive?
Someone said it's not 'game speed but ill take it'. Like @KIRK said, problem wasn't accelleration.
Actual games are where geno will be at most risk of re-injury, hell... and practice, but the game time is the big worry because of the chaos of actual game rigors will ramp up. His knee/leg taking the slightest bit of awkward movement/contact/anything etc etc is where it'll affect him most.

THE NHL PLAYOFFS START!!!!!

He joined the main practice right after and was on the second line for the whole practice. That's definitely a positive to me. I'm confused about the point you and @KIRK are making: what was described definitely is a problem of acceleration (stopping and starting). He looked good there and that can only be a positive.

I really hate that word. They did their job and the effort was there... they earned it (to be where they are).
But they don't deserve to win anything because a personal bar was set qualifying as deserving.

Seems I wasn't the only one having no idea what bofa is =P
Well... how to put this...
His leg / knee whatever isn't in a good place. Practice is one thing... game time is totally different. Playoff game is even different from that. Didn't he sit out from the scrimmage on that day we are discussing? - which more resembles the chaos and probably situations where his knee will bother him.

No. That was a different day. He's not at death's door. Not 100% but yesterday is positive.

Oh... okay.
Well it's encouraging. Better news than the alternative that he isn't skating so well.
I'm just not taking it as anything until I see him in action game 1, noon time tomorrow.
He looked fine skating full tilt at practice before he came back for the final push... how did that end...
Of course he's not dying let's not be dramatic. Has a bum knee / leg that will limit him is all I'm saying. A week rest won't fix it, which been said enough times already... I'm done with the geno thing until game time.
