Post-Game Talk: Laffing Stock - The call-ups get it done in Winnipeg (Pens win 7-2)

[BHD]

- Jarry
He stood tall after allowing the opening goal.

- Lafferty
He can't be contained. It's great knowing him and AJ can playon the bottom line instead of Garret Wilson.

- Johnson
The guy can skate.

- ZAR
He scored not once, but twice. I expect to get winning lottery numbers tomorrow.

- Letang
Letang was a highlight reel all game. The spinorama was the cherry on top.

- Crosby
Not going to bother covering Sid.

- Schultz
Not sure what is going on with him right now.

- Gudbarnson
Another rough game for him. Also, he should never - ever - play LD again.

- Marino
He looked OK. It's difficult to assess him when he's playing bottom-pair minutes with Gudbranson and Johnson.

Lafferty for mayor!!

 

[ColePens]

I have to run so this will be quick... EXCELLENT game by literally everyone. Literally everyone. ZAR/Blueger/Tanev was awesome. Simon/Jake with Sid was awesome. Letang was in GOD Mode. Jarry was incredible. Marino was awesome. Laff is so much fun to watch. AJ is awesome. Blandy is even playing well.

I cannot say it enough - that was one of the most fun games to watch. Everyone played tremendous. Amazing urgency. Amazing effort. Good heart. Awesome hustle.

 

[K Fleur]

No JJ!

 

[Corvidae]

+++ Jarry
+++ Lafferty
+++ Everyone who got to be near Lafferty, lucky

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Lafferty is FLYING. Holy f*** boys, we might have something here.

If this team can score 14 goals in 2 games without Malkin, Galchenyuk, Bjugstad and Rust, how much will they be able to score with everyone?

I’m not easily impressed.....I am very impressed with these guys right now.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

+ Laff, Zar, jake, sid, letang

- guds

= Shultz, jarry

It wasnt pretty at times but a solid win. Thats 3 games out of 6 putting up a touchdown. Not sustainable but awesome for now.

Last 12 times Pens have had back to backs on the road we could not win both, well we finally did in style. 14 goals and allowed 6.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

14 goals in two games, all without Malkin, Bjugs, Rust and Gally. Way to f***ing go, and felt good to get payback against Winnipeg

Probably like 3. NHL lyfe.

With the luck this team has? -3

Slot Lafferty on a fully healthy Penguins team:

L1 RW (definitely plays the game the way Sid likes)
L2 RW (same 200 foot game as Tanev and, when he's working, Rust, but much better offensive game)
L3 C (he is a natural center, and he might be our third best . . . assuming Bjugs moved)
L4 C (see above)
L4 RW (I suspect if he stays, and he certainly should, then this is where he slots)

If it were me, I'd be really tempted to see how he looks in a top 6 RW slot. Horny doesn't mesh anymore with Sid and doesn't really mesh with Geno. Rust and Tanev aren't great options. Simon? Okay, I'm laughing.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

That was pretty great all around. Two bad bounces gave them their goals but the Pens were dominant. Laff, Sid, Jake, Tang, ZAR and Pets with multi-point games. TJ looked awesome. Challenging every shot at the top of the crease. Great work all around.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Marino was 3rd in icetime with 18 mins

Gotta get Jake in there as well as Simon.

It would probably be the opposite

 

[StaalForOne]

+ Depth scoring
+ This team is going to add Malkin, Rust, and Galchenyuk to it.

 

[Dangles78]

+ Marino was behind only Tanger and Dumo for D ice time.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

We beat Winnipeg at home, better than they beat us. It felt good

Honestly? Until he cools off, i dont slot him anywhere except where he is.

We are better when we are banged up, so less.

Really impressed by Jarry and Lafferty
