What a terrible image.
Did DeSmith's pass save our season?
If this is something they build on? Yeah, it could be one of those moments that gets looked back on as saving a season. If it’s not... he saved the game?

How bout border collies?
If you watch how Kap played that game on L4, I think it would be worth putting Rust to L3 or L4 for a little bit. I know the dude will be back. But I think when he plays on a bottom 6, he thinks less and can find his game. Then boom - right back up.
Yeah, I don’t love them breaking up McCann-Jank-Tanev but anything to shake up that second line.
Yeah that L1 and L2 were killing us. It didn't matter that L3 was clicking because the other lines were hurting us 10x. Like 1 step forward, 2 step back.
Geno NEEDS Tanev. I can't believe i'm saying that. Geno NEEDS Tanev. Tanev gave him a little jump and helped out so much defensively.

I'm not to excited about the wins either because they were OT wins.
Team's were dead-even each game.... doesn't signify anything except penguins don't quit (sometimes)
what sad is the goofs they are making should not be made by a high school team let alone a pro team. they all know better, coach or no coach,Without a shadow of doubt, some guys stepped up in the 3rd. Geno wasn't perfect in the 3rd, but he stepped up. Sid seemed to look more engaged. Their attention to defensive awareness was downright awful. I cannot stress it enough. The errors made on the defensive side are not due to complexity of a scheme. These errors are directly related to flat out work ethic. That is something I cannot believe i'm saying. It's piss poor lazy f***ing work ethic. Some of it is because they need a new voice, as proven so many times in this era. Some of it is because Sully really needs to understand his team better. So part of it is schematic. But Sid/Geno/Rust tonight were PATHETIC when it came to defensive awareness. And Letang/Dumo as well. The Pens would look like a decent playoff team if they only fixed that. If they adjusted movement on the PP, similar to what you saw with out PP2 unit, then we become a top half playoff team. If the team f***ing all bought in and supported one another all over the ice, the schematic adjustments were made, and the team stayed healthy... then we would be a top 25% team with a chance to win Lord Stanley.
Pretty much all games we’ve outplayed the opposition more than not.
It’s just our meltdowns are huge at the moment and it’s making it difficult. Cut out the big mistakes and we’d likely be 4-0-0
That is where I stand... can this team tighten it up and play a solid 60 minute game?
4 game streak so far of not being able to do so....
Now with d-men dropping at an unsustainable rate (as usual for the penguins) it will be a hodge podge assembly going forward.... I guess the only thing I expect is up's and down's this season... with the schedule and things going on....
some times it takes hard times to get the team to start pulling together. there I always hope.That is where I stand... can this team tighten it up and play a solid 60 minute game?

Best Friend EverI would down vote this post as far as I possibly could. Goldens/labs are my favorite. Had one my entire life. One of the best friends you can have.
I agree. I’d flip Jake and Zucker with Tanev there bc Tanev is spastic (in a good way) and Jake is very calm and a good playmaker when he’s on.
Zucker has had jump but he and Tanev are kinda similar style wise. Feel like there’d be a better balance skill set wise that way.
The analytics say that too. There can only be 2 reasons huge mistakes leading to high danger chances and/or weak goaltending
From what I see it’s more the mistakes. It’d be nice if the goalies could make more bigger saves but the chances we give up eventually the goals against will pile up.
Flyers 4th from the bottom?
