I know it’s football but I couldn’t help but think of
And WBS played the Bears last night so I was confused as to why @Zirakzigil made a GDT for it.

man if they wanted to make one last run with this core why didn’t they upgrade on CDS? Such a important position to use a total scrub as a backup if you have any ambitions at all
Yes, this falls on Hextall. 2016 and 17, Pens had 2 quality goalies. DeSmith may have been playing better close to the trade deadline but he's not a 1b goalie for a team with cup aspirations. But I have a feeling Domingue will somehow come up huge and help get the Pens thru the 1st round.I had been calling for this, an experienced vet backup, for most of the season…
Advanced stats matchup
“On paper, the Bruins outclass the Penguins in everything except PK goals against, goaltending, and expected goals at 5v5. The latter stat would, of course, mean more if Pittsburgh wasn’t also ranked 30th in finishing.”
I assume cap space and limited assets to trade?man if they wanted to make one last run with this core why didn’t they upgrade on CDS? Such a important position to use a total scrub as a backup if you have any ambitions at all

It would have been a relatively inexpensive move too, no reason not to bring in a decent backup. Because we didn't we also ended up overplaying Jarry, which might be why he got hurt in the first place. Costly mistake.
More so it should have been done in the offseasonWhat goaltender was moved relatively inexpensively at the deadline?

Darcy Kuemper..What goaltender was added in the off-season that would’ve been an improvement?
There’s a reason like 10 teams are going into the playoffs with questionable goaltending.

Yes, I would have given how Jarry looked coming off the last playoff series…most important position on the ice…we also could have signed Andersen in FA and didn’tSo you would’ve traded a 1st and Poulin plus for Kuemper?

Other than Halak who looks finished…lolBrian Elliott
Holtby
Andersen
Raanta
Halak
Reimer
I would be happier with any of them over desmith

Well that’s why JR did it…Tampa has Vasi and Elliott for example…you need a goalie you can trust to start PO games if you fancy yourself a contenderThe thing is, it'd have been nice to get a better backup than CDS, but it probably doesn't matter. Backup goalies are backup goalies. If your starter gets injured heading right into the playoffs, you're probably f***ed unless you're in a weird position of having like an heir apparent like MAF/Murray several years ago.
