Post-Game Talk: Pens crash the Island: Ned puts the Carkins on his skin and so should you!

[Zirakzigil]

Goaltending was Nedtastic. Some rough parts but overall a great game. Bottom 6 provided the offence and Ned slammed the door shut. Great game boys. PP is still trash and Karlsson is becoming more and more meh as the games go on. Onto the new year! 4 point game baby

What are we?

Did we underperform early? Are we overperforming now? Are guys figuring it out? I have no idea. What a wild 2023.

Great job for Neds though. Man what a great signing.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Absolutely huge win in regulation. Ned was awesome.

Only minus is to Sully for putting the 5 worst players on the team on the ice together late in a 2 goal game. Loser.

God I love hockey.

 

[BillyOcean]

I think Karlsson created a lot of scoring opportunities, but damn does he ever just commit 2-3 backbreaking turnovers a game

 

[Josey Wales]

GUINS WIN GUINS WIN !!! happy new years guys & gals & Be Safe

Ned is our Vokoun. Now beat those Crapss next, they are slow so we got a chance against old slow teams.

 

[WickedWrister]

7-2-1 in our last 10 and tied for the 2nd wild card spot (pending TBL game tonight). Considering where we were a month ago, I'll take it to cap off 2023!

Malkin's line was fantastic. I've never been a big DOC fan but he was working his ass off particularly.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Puustinen with 7pts in 10.

Even while getting shafted by the tosser coach he keeps producing.

Also gross, Harkins.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

If you told me a week ago this team would beat the Islanders back to back in regulation, I would’ve said “no way.” Big credit to this team for getting in done. Slowly rising in the standings.

Tuesday against the Caps should be fun.

Have had mostly strong 5v5 analytics this year. And good goaltending.

Team might actually be....good?

Powerplay is still a mess but a bit less so than it was a month ago, so there's that.

Per game or per PP?

Interesting. So 7-2-1 in the 10 games Puustinen has been up?

Coincidence? Puusy says no.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

That was so satisfying. These guys aren't bad when they play responsible hockey. Doesn't hurt when the backup G plays like that. Eller was such a steal at $2.45MM.

They're on a hot streak. I am not going to give Sullivan any credit until this team wins two playoff rounds at this point.

I just want to make the playoffs so we can have some playoff hockey to complain about and then San Jose can have our pick.

The way Sid looks this year we might even win a round if we get in.

I'm getting ahead of myself though. Keep stringin' em together boys.

 

[Rakell67]

7-1-1 streak. Keep it up!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Dont forget thats 10 goals for and 1 against vs the Islanders, thats huge. And 4 huge divisional points too.

 

[Fordy]

that's the kind of game to make you a believer

 

[ncm7772]

2 regulation wins against the Isles in a week. That could be big. Keep it up!

You aren't easy to please, are you?

 

[WickedWrister]

I wish Eller would use his linemates a little bit more but yeah, he's an upgrade over Carter/Blueger from last year.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Lots of excuses to lose these 2 games vs them. First one after Christmas with travel, second one a back to back after we blew them out at home. Nice to see the boys show up tonight.

he had 7 minutes TOI tonight, lowest on the team
