To my eye, we’re the ones who have 1st-rnd exit written all over us. Leaky goaltending, regular disappearing acts by Kuz, Eller, willy, backstrom. Guys like that should be stepping up in Ovie’s absence, esp against a hared rival. Such an utterly uninspiring performance so far. Only forwards with jump are the two ex-Pens for christsake — Sorong and sheary.
Pens are schooling us and barely breaking a sweat doing so. I’d give them decided edge in a series. They’ve been lights-out these last 20 or so games, with scoring coming from all through their line-up.
Time to show some pride this next period. At least go down battling. Wayyy too easy for the visitors so far
