GDT: pens cane

[Navin R Slavin]

5-0 without Aho

Trade him now, get what you can

Seriously, though, this was a guaranteed calendar loss if ever I've seen one. This is a really good team. They're becoming a veteran team that just expects to win.

These, as they say, is the times.

That was a gritty w . Cup teams do that.

Woah, slow your roll there, chief. This goes against our long-standing "kill him" policy, doesn't it?

Should we tell Tapi?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Trade him now, get what you can

We've never seen Navin and Tapi together. Hmmm.

Fun win, we should do it again... without the stupid penalties

 

[HisIceness]

Lol I forgot we had a 5pm puck drop.

Luckily they didn't.

Luckily they didn't.

No they forgot but slowly woke up

Great win against a good team. Also, I didn't get frostbite or hit by a car on the walk back, both of which seemed like very real possibilities

 

[Negan4Coach]

Peter Jennings: “We’re about as tense as you are, sir.”

Caller: “Oh, lordy, this is most tensist!”

Great win! Kind of nailbiting finish, yikes.

For those of us following from home, the highlight of the game:

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

The GDT polls end when Aho is back, until then we will keep winning. Great win, tied for 2nd in the league now. Crazy

For those of us following from home, the highlight of the game:

Help me I got ok eyes but I can't see. 3.8 seconds? Standing Pittsburgh guy gets to go home sad?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

jordo will tie RBA in games played as a Hurricane against Pittsburgh on Thursday at 694. Eric and jordo should be 3-4 in games played in franchise history by the end of the season.

Help me I got ok eyes but I can't see. 3.8 seconds? Standing Pittsburgh guy gets to go home sad?

Annoying visiting fan, who stands up blocking the TV angle every time the Pens have the puck, realizes they’re not winning this one.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I don’t know what they’re going to do when Patches gets healthy.

This is a USDA Certified Good Problem to Have.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Annoying visiting fan, who stands up blocking the TV angle every time the Pens have the puck, realizes they’re not winning this one.

Best part of the night was being surrounded by Pittsburgh fans, them starting a solid “Let’s go Penguins” chant, then Jordan Staal scoring almost immediately after.

 

[Borsig]

Pens fans in the PNC are second only to B's fans

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Also, I’m not sure how I feel about the line matchups tonight. Obviously, they have Crosby and Malkin on separate lines, so one of them is going to wreak havoc on us, and Jordan’s line did score two against the Malkin line (I believe), but the way Crosby’s line pretty much dominated possession against the Svech/Necas one, that was playing with fire all night.

But I suppose there’s a reason Rod’s the Jack Adams winner and I’m just some guy on the Internet

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Fun fact: the Canes are #1 in points and P% since the start of the 21 season, which represents 2 full season's worth of games and change.

It’s not a replacement for ultimate playoff success, but they’ve come a long way from the days of being on the other side of a game like this. Enjoy it.
