Post-Game Talk: Penguins 3, Stars 1 - And Then There Was One

[KIRK]

Great game DeSmith.

HGH is now our shutdown and scoring line.

The Big Rig was super solid.

Still some freaky moments (Letang, Dumo, Maatta brain failures, Horny's timing with Geno-Hags, the midgets falling down), but this is a really, really nice win.

All I want is a Geno MVP...

and a Stanley Cup.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Geno is 1 goal away from OV and 1 point away from Kucherov.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Legit game from the Pens.

 

[ncm7772]

Overall solid team effort. Ugly at times, but again, solid effort.

DeSmith was solid. Was pleasantly surprised by Jooris, and don't blast me, I thought Rowney was "un-awful."

Good game all around. Desmith was very solid but I'll still be nervous whenever he starts.

Please abolish all replay review

Legit game from the Pens.

Definitely. Back end of a b2b with travel against two good teams. I'm content with their play tonight.

 

[PensandCaps]

Geno is 1 goal away from OV and 2 points away from Kucherov.

1 point

[Dey so soff*]

Much better team effort tonight.

Defensive awareness was worlds better for the most part.

DeSmith made some real good saves on quality chances.

Geno was beasting out there.

Horny looked better.

Even Kuhn and Rowney had their moments!

Letang was...Letang

Maatta didn’t have a particularly good game.

 

[Turin]

Pens have been very good lately. It feels like they’re due for a real tear.

 

[Pancakes]

Dallas didn't play since Friday and we played last night. We looked like the fresh team. That's rare.

+ Sid feeding Geno that empty netter. Classy selfless move. You better believe #87 was looking for Geno all the way there.

+ PK/defense. An unusually tight defensive effort by us. Playoff type d from a discipline standpoint.

+ Desmith. Didn't get tested much, but played well.

 

[ColePens]

++++ 4 TOUGH games without Murray and other injuries: 3-1-0 record. Nice!

+++ Geno: f***ing right G. Hags/Horny with honorable mentions. I am out of words.

++ Sid/Guentzel: I love how Sid is playing. I love that he's saving energy and then when he wants it - he takes it. Jake looks good, too, outside of his dumb penalty.

+ DeSmith: Solid effort all around. I really liked his game. Simple, boring, and good positioning.

Overall I thought we really owned 5 on 5 play the last 2 nights. I liked our jump and I liked our skating. Forwards did a MUCH better job tonight protecting our zone. I think the forwards were really key tonight. Even the 4th line. Jooris played very well, IMO.


- Kessel: Brutal game. He'll figure it out, but he was a pile of shit tonight.

- Letang: Holy rollercoaster. Just all over the map.

 

[BHD]

Way better than last night.

 

[HotCoffey]

Desmith should back up murray for the foreseeable future.

 

[SirBrad]

Nice kind of game to win. Did what they needed to. Easily could have gone wrong. Another good third period sealed the deal.

 

[Tom Hanks]

A few big gaffes defensively here and there but after the first 10 minutes they were so solid in the D zone.

First time since the deadline we’ve shutvw team down. A good team too.

 

[RustyRazor]

Cleaned it up in their own end. Solid, playoff-like performance. Really impressive game coming off a disappointment last night.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Proper Geno Bingoal gif.

 

[BHD]

The Jooris Experience is cool, but we know he'll be out of the lineup once Rust and Simon return.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think the last three years finally are showing us what happens when a coach has full trust in Malkin.

Oleksiak - Schultz is turning into a solid pairing.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Geno, so hot right now, Geno....

 

[PensandCaps]

Desmith should back up murray for the foreseeable future.

Lol no.
