Get Jake that hatty

 

[DegenX]

But he plays the right way I’m told!

I was perusing the media release, seems his dad is a yinzer. Guessing this factors in somehow.

 

[Gurglesons]

Seems like the Wash game woke the boys up. They are playing strong throughout the entire game so far. Playing full games was definitely something they weren't doing.

Or mybe it is having a healthy forward roster..

still great goaltending is major difference, although tonight other three lines have been OK

Nah, man. When they started their journey of suckitude only Schultz was out.

 

[td_ice]

Or mybe it is having a healthy forward roster..

It can't be both??

 

[froods]

I really like these forward lines. I would feel a little better if we get a 2nd line LW to play with Geno and then have the ability to move #17 and #12 around. The big need on this team is a partner for Schultz when he comes back.

 

[Beau Knows]

It looks like the 2 trades JR made through this season are working out.

The team is playing much better right now, I still think we need a couple more trades but the potential for a great team is still here imo.

 

[ColePens]

Still a lot of time, but the Pens have just really suffocated since a few loose odd man plays early in the game. Mur calmed it down and the defense figured it out so far.

 

[Andy99]

Or mybe it is having a healthy forward roster..

More inclined to give credit to the goaltending and defense....

Can anyone else see how much better the D is without Olek in there?

 

[WayneSid9987]

Big thing has been the D and goaltending since Rig left as well.

 

[ColePens]

Why is Geno falling so much?

 

[EightyOne]

The roster is still flawed as shit, but, HCMS kinda stopped f***ing with lines so much too.

Gotta wonder if that has helped the guys.

Well that, and, slight improvements like getting new dman and dropping Johnson down.

 

[Shrimper]

Apparently Rick Jeanneret, famous Buffalo play-by-play, stopped mid-broadcast and has been replaced and taken to hospital on a gurney

 

[MrBurghundy]

Malkin is just not getting the breaks.

 

[ColePens]

BEAUTIFUL gap by Pets! And Letang also has been dishing so damn well tonight. Simple passes and perfect tape to tape. 58 is having one of his best nights and it is extremely quiet.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Geno is getting back in the game.

 

[Gurglesons]

Apparently Rick Jeanneret, famous Buffalo play-by-play, stopped mid-broadcast and has been replaced and taken to hospital on a gurney

Damn. Prayers.

 

[ColePens]

Rust was hauled down! What the f***?!?!

 

[Andy99]

Why is Geno falling so much?

I’ve been wondering that myself...

 

[ColePens]

Rust gets a breakaway but the ref wants to get home quick. What a f***ing loser.

 

[td_ice]

McElhinney has actually played very well. The score could be a lot worse.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Damn. Love that guy.

 

[Shrimper]

Rust was hauled down! What the ****?!?!

The refs have been going by the score, awful today
