We won! We beat a good team. Jarry played great and got the shutout. The bottom six scored. Let’s just bask in this for a moment.

Jarry with two shutouts so far season. Good for him. I would of never guessed before the game the pens shutout the Avs.

 

[Borgir]

Wow

 

[pistolpete11]

That was a pretty much perfect game.

If you want to go through and nitpick things....you're an insufferable person

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Holy hell that was awesome all around.

The 3rd line rilling is so huge for the team.

TJ kept them off the board when they could have easily had 2 or 3.

f***ign winners!

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Zohorna has been a nice little shot in the arm. Third line looks great.

 

[BobCole]

Lots to like in this game.

Fabulous performance from Jarry.

Third line was great.

Geno and Smith buzzing.

Depth d-men had a strong showing.

60 minute effort.

Guentzel looked good.

Sid sure needs to get going though, despite the goal.

Colorado comes at you in waves and the team did a good job frustrating them all night.

As an aside, pretty impressive to see the Avs pushing down to the last second of the game despite being down 4-0. We need to show that kind of competitiveness.

Avs generated more high danger chances - Pens had just 4 at 5 on 5 - but it seems like those chances were largely ones that Jarry could track. Couple above the line saves that I saw, too, tuning in late.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Time to bump the Graves thread or nah?

 

[SomeOldDude]

Huge win!! They played a full 60 minute game. They looked hungry, won the battles, and Jarry was stellar. Please start playing like this consistently!

 

[Jobeycool]

Strong performance from entire team...

Beat me to it. This was as perfect of a game that this team has played in a long time. I don't even remember this complete of a game from them.

 

[Gurglesons]

Wild what happens when you play young talent over Ruhwedel and Carter...

Avs generated more high danger chances - Pens had just 4 at 5 on 5 - but it seems like those chances were largely ones that Jarry could track. Couple above the line saves that I saw, too, tuning in late.

Further proof that NST is f***ing trash when it comes to that type of metric.

Avs got worked.

 

[Josey Wales]

So did HC Shithead get through to them or did the Players win in spite of HC Shithead? asking for some friends

 

[Ugene Magic]

Been a bit...

@Radim Zohorna
@AuroraBorealis

So is the Z Fan Club a more is merry type of thing where we let everyone in? Or like an exclusive club that you had to get in at the beginning?

We're getting more applicants by the game, I think.

Time to bump the Graves thread or nah?

Don't get the Graves hate,,.. then again, I never got the Jack Johnson hate either.

 

[Andy99]

Impressive performance…besides the obvious players,I’m giving a shout out to Sullivan, who I want gone in the biggest way…but he made a defensive adjustment for this game and, equally important, he rolled all four lines fairly equally and did not overuse Sid and G…kudos to him

 

[Bnat66]

Where are all the people that said the Pens would get steamrolled tonight?

 

[cygnus47]

++++ Sully WHAT

Play higher in our zone instead of being passive bitches, 4 - 0 shutout. Don't wuss out if we screw up big dog, this is the better system.

++ Whole third line
++ Smith
++ Letang
++ Jarry

Sid still with the weird brain fart turnovers in the first. Malkin didn't have his best game.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

That’s what it looks like when they put in a 60 minute effort. They can do it, this team is absolutely better than what we’ve seen so far. They’re good when they want to be.

Great win. Gotta keep it going on Saturday.

 

[Headshot77]

Glad I reverse jinxed the team with my main board thread today.

 

[Will Hunting]

Longest road winning streak in NHL history snapped by the Pens with a 4-0 win over an offensive powerhouse. You know what happened? The Pens played with respect finally and they played defense first for the first time this season. They weren´t playing that uneffective quasi offensive style. They packed the defensive zone and allowed zero odd man rushes, they sacrificed the bodies, they played full 60 minutes and they were opportunistic because they didn´t force offense but rather waited for their chances. This is the style that this old team absolutely needs to play.

Penguins are f***ed.
