Jeckyll or Hyde 2night? Stay tuned.

That Penguins lineup looks like dumpass though with all the injuries tho.

1.Pitt gonna push hard for that first goal. Every coach engrains in their team after big losses how giving up 1 leads to pressing and giving up more "if we hadn't given up that first flukey one it would have been a completely different game" blah blah.

2.We need to be 2 times better in our zone, too many open guys and lanes to pass to them.

3.We were pretty good tying up their sticks on rebounds, need to keep that up.

Still probably the healthiest roster they’ve had in 30 years.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Wonder how they play tonight after getting their shots.

First period is the key. They have been giving up tons of goals; expect stingy D. Don't force it. The chances will come.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

We need to be MUCH better in this game.

Really all Pittsburgh needs to do is hope their goalies stop the puck. We got good goaltending last game and still gave up 4.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Sucks that Blugers is out. The kid has been having a nice season so far. Always like players from lower tier hockey countries doing well.

Out of the 20 guys on today’s roster I would be shocked if at least one of them didn’t have an adverse reaction after their vaccines yesterday.

I know everyone is different and anecdotal evidence but after my vax I had a 102 fever / chills the next day. From what I’ve read and heard this is less common but not really rare.

Feelin' better about tonight's game after reading that Shesterkin is 6-0 when we give up 40+ shots

Almost everyone gets a very sore arm for 24-36 hours which definitely can affect one's game, hopefully they got the shot yesterday morning so they should recover by this evening

Vaccine hit em hard?

I wonder if the islanders will get the vaccine tonight before our weekend matchup with them

[Fugazy]

Love that energy.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

I'm curious on if the vaccine hits you as hard if you've already had it. So will someone like Zibby not see a difference compared to someone like maybe Fox or Laf who I assume hasn't contracted the virus yet.

Anecdotal, but I know someone who had Covid about a year ago and then was recently vaccinated and was hit hard by the vaccine with fever etc. I didn't have Covid and just had a sore arm with the first dose. Who knows?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Getting the lead is important vs Pitsburgh. Big game....lgr

 

[LOFIN]
