2g, 5a, +4 in 3 games = Geno in I AM RELAX mode. 
EDIT: Weird . . . 15:55 TOI, only 1 official SOG, only credited with 3 takeaways (I thought he had 3 in one shift), and 1-12 in the FO circle. I can live with that last one if he plays like this.

Sid didn't have a ton of jump offensively but I thought him and his line battled real hard. Malkin was outstanding. Even Sutter was pretty good.
I still think we need another forward. We'll see how things look with Winnik, but if we got say Jagr then we could run some real strong lines.

I think faceoffs are overrated as ****. I'd rather have Geno out and have him lose a faceoff than have Sutter out and have Sutter win some but get killed in possession. Geno is still way more of a net gain when he's on the ice even if he's losing draws.

Malkin's gotta start winning his faceoffs, though. He won one all night - one. That's why his ice time wasn't higher.
Missed the Capitals third goal, did you?

Not ideal but there´s a clear progress lately. That pathetic loss vs the Jackets might be the best thing that could happen for this team. Just switch Adams for Winnik now and fix that powerplay some more. Deserved win anyway, we were the better team and pretty much controlled this game, even though the final score looks close.
It's also the wrong call in this one. Plus, there were a few he 'lost' where, for example, that last defensive one he won back towards Martin who was soft and lost it.
It's dumb coaching, and if you're not going to play Malkin for it, with the way he was going tonight, it's going to cost the Pens in the playoffs.
I love Geno, but lets not forget, on the 2hd caps goal, he did a drive by which helped enable the caps to score. He's got to better in the backcheck there.
Glad we won, but damn that wasn't easy.

The 6 d-men dressed tonight should be the group that plays throughout the playoffs. No Bortuzzo.

What a terrible image.

++ Malkin
++ Pressure in their half of the rink
+ Horny
- Losing our calm and getting disorganised
- Bad penalty by Fleu, he was only average tonight.
- Pouliot was shaky in the 2nd half. Wasn't really engaging in the battles, was just throwing his stick in there. Wasn't as calm as usual with the puck either, he flubbed it a bunch behind our net.
We could have easily shut them out tonight if we'd kept our cool (and if Scuds hadn't let his guy beat him to the net). Some good things and some bad. We're definitely not ready for the playoffs yet.

+ Fleury even though I thought it was kind of embellishing with Ward. Kept us in the game except for losing his cool at the end with the hack and facewash
+ Scuderi was actually playing pretty well before he got hurt
+ Pouliot thought he handled the extra ice time and the Caps' size pretty well
+ Geno in beast mode tonight
---Powerplay coaching get Geno off the frickin point on the power play. You have Pouliot, Letang, Martin and Erhoff that all can run the powerplay and not give up horrific shorthanded chances

Good win. Little rough, but good win.
Don't know why anyone's ripping the coach after this. He needs to be getting a big, big plus on this one. Not only did a change to the forecheck see us spend the entire first in their end, but by the third, Trotz was running from certain matchups. Sending mishmash lines that needed on the fly changes before the components were together.
