The Penguins and Capitals, the last 3 Stanley Cup champs, need the all star break probably more than any other team at the moment.

Both teams look like they are coasting.

 

[TNT87]

Sharks are easily controlling the play.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wild have nobody outside of Dumba for a one-timer. Those PP groups were awful.

Possibly Kunin, but they decided to put him on the PP in a non-shooting position.

 

[Little Psycho]

Letang with nice goal

Didn't know he still had that in him. Impressive how he skates in so effortlessly.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Didn't know he still had that in him. Impressive how he skates in so effortlessly.

And Karlsson is the far better defenseman tonight.

 

[Little Psycho]

And Karlsson is the far better defenseman tonight.

Is it because EK has more points or is he actually playing better defense than Letang? Can't watch the game.

 

[FunkyPhin]

Ooo Thornton was wide open there

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Is it because EK has more points or is he actually playing better defense than Letang? Can't watch the game.

The defense. They both have one point.

 

[Alwalys]

manhandling

 

[koyvoo]

Pens are done tonight

 

[Limekiller]

Hertl x2! Fun must be always!

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

That should do it for the Penguins.

Get to the all star break and get healthy. I feel a trade will be happening soon in Pittsburgh also.

 

[bukwas]

That ought to do it.
Was a fine night of hockey.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

Yup. San Jose still looks mediocre and every team on the west coast will be begging to play them.

 

[HydroF]

Hertl is so good. Such an underrated player.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Sharks were the better team tonight. Pens just didn’t have it.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Stalock outplayed Quick, again.

I thought Quick was going to have more surgery?

You're literally the only person who thinks that, and I was going to guess why, but...

I didn't see the game.

I actually just based my assumption on Quick losing in a shootout (again), and Stalock getting the #2 star (and quick not getting a mention)

I didn't dig into the stats to find a moral victory for Quick, I just went with the hot-take second star/game summary. My bad. Seemed a safe assumption from the info I had.

Quick is the 6th most winning shootout goalie of all time, has a top-notch save percentage for that many attempts, and 3 of the 5 ahead of him have more than 100 attempts against more, meaning many more chances for victory.

Your Jonathan Quick hottake, as always, is biased, but this time it's also completely misinformed by fact.

Thornton scores in his 1000th game as a Shark.

995 points over that time.

Was going to say 'like a fine wine' but Jumbo strikes me as more of a 'like a double IPA.'

 

[Kegsey]

Hertl is so good. Such an underrated player.

40 points in 43 games and absolutely dominating every shift.

 

[Little Psycho]

The defense. They both have one point.

Otherworldly is a strong word since I've seen it done many times by other top dmen, but good for him.

 

[BelovedIsles]

2 game losing streak for the Pens?

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Penguins with only 17 shots on goal. Basically sums up their night of sleep walking the entire game.

No one looks like they want to be there.

 

[Alwalys]

hertl bodies malkin to the ice again

 

[Alwalys]

hmm did that puck go in?

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Jack Johnson on a one on one break away sums up the Penguins night, also.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I’m not sure, as. Pens fan, I’ve ever witnessed Malkin being this bad for this long.

He can’t stay upright on the ice and has at least 5-10 turnovers every single game.
