GDT: Game XIIV 1930hrs Pens vs Sabres: Return of the crappy start times

[vodeni]

Ruhwedel is the worst Pen...what a shift again

 

[canadianguy77]

We might actually be a decent team this season.

 

[vodeni]

Geno is a monster. Raks should have like 8 goals this season

which means Geno would be leading NHL in points

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Somebody rub a dead chicken on Rakell's stick to take the curse off of the stick!

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Geno should sell whatever offseason workout he did this year to every player over 35 in the league. He looks 27, not 37.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

It’s really amazing that as soon as Sully did what everybody on this board wanted in the bottom 6 the team starts winning.

 

[canadianguy77]

TJ going to lead the league in save percentage? He has to be up there.

 

[spfan]

I could certainly see EK heating up and scoring 85+. He's close to PPG now and he's not even getting started in terms of asserting himself on the team and taking more offensive opportunities himself.

Yeah. Just saying so far. Hughes is the easy favourite at this point though.

 

[Pancakes]

As soon as Raks gets one he's gonna get 3. Gonna have a hat trick breakout performance. It's just goin that way for him right now where when he finally gets out of it there will be an avalanche of goals

Yeah he looks amazing for Florida, we should have kept him instead of going after Pittsburgh native Trochek.

 

[Shaftception]

Man, in contrast to Graves, Gergenson's looks like the way old cartoons would draw bad guys.

 

[Genetic]

We might actually be a decent team this season.

If weedle disappears and the 4th line does a little more than nothing then yea sure.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

TJ going to lead the league in save percentage? He has to be up there.

Not even close. Just a .907 save percentage. He's been that bad in his losses.

 

[Jacob]

Malkin is insane. Unbelievable how lucky we are that he can not only still play but take over games.

 

[66-30-33]

That's hit of the game??????? soff.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

As soon as Raks gets one he's gonna get 3. Gonna have a hat trick breakout performance. It's just goin that way for him right now where when he finally gets out of it there will be an avalanche of goals

He's getting really unlucky on his attempts, too. Some good opportunities that just find a stick or a shin pad at the last second. Couple posts, too.

 

[Genetic]

Nice little effort on that back check, Sid. I see you.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think Jarry has been super feast or famine this year. It's great when he's playing like this but he needs to even out his performance a bit IMO

 

[Pancakes]

Or at least keep the feast part going for a little longer than 1 or 2 games at a time

 

[DesertedPenguin]

If he finishes this out, this will be Jarry's third shutout of the season, the most in the NHL.

He entered the night tied for 28th in save percentage among qualified goalies.

Feast or famine, indeed.

 

[vodeni]

As soon as Raks gets one he's gonna get 3. Gonna have a hat trick breakout performance. It's just goin that

he is not breaking out of slump until something is changed...its just the way things work, put him on PP1, send him with Sid for a few shifts, or with the third line...

 

[66-30-33]

Karlsson now has the 3rd goal assists to Smith and Malkin.

Sorry Crosby, maybe next time.

 

[Grouch]

If weedle disappears and the 4th line does a little more than nothing then yea sure.

Ya those 6 min of ice time.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Or at least keep the feast part going for a little longer than 1 or 2 games at a time

Honestly I don't even think it's reasonable to ask him to do that, most goalies can't do that.

I'd rather him be putting up a .925 save% every game over putting up a shutout followed by an .850 save% game. But even without that, just have fewer elite and bad performances and just get more good performances.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Get Rakell out there. Nothing wrong with an empty netter slump buster.
