GDT: Pens Go Buffalo Hunting. Shooting Starts @7:00 pm EST

[KIRK]

MM's best game in a while. Good control of the puck from what I've seen of this game. Much better.

Fighting it early as I noted earlier but since then, yes.

(wasn't a fan of the MJ goal, but the body of work has been excellent tonight)

 

[Zirakzigil]

Moose!

I doubt ERod needs a vaccum cleaner.

 

[KIRK]

Yeah mate, the Flyers worry me a little, AV has owned the Pens before while with the Rangers, Flyers are playing some very good hockey right now and I don't know how much of it is just a fluke/streak, they lost JVR and are still rolling as a by committee team.

I'm watching Derek Grant makes sick skill plays all night last night and thinking to myself 'WTF, I must be drunk like @Honour Over Glory'.

 

[canadianguy77]

Yeah no way you could win a cup with a guy like sheary in that role.

I prefer to live in the present, but you do you.

Nate Thompson is a guy I really wanted the Pens to go after for the 4th line, he's such a damn good depth guy, he's one of those in your face players that just battles all game long.

we could use this version of him...same with this version of Sundqvist, Noesen and all the other jabronis we let go...

Grant was FN impressive against us last game. By far their best player IMO.

 

[Gurglesons]

watch them last night dismantling Caps, look scary...

Rangers are dismantling the Caps. So.

And Carolina’s main strength is defense and it has been absolutely decimated.

 

[KIRK]

Okay, so GLASS HALF FULL KIRK . . . the Pens needed to start winning again, so it's a step in the right direction. BUT, they really need to elevate, because this weekend will be anything but a picnic.

Grant displayed some of that here.

i liked him here, not sure why people didnt

I think we win both games and feel like the Caps game is going to be like 8-7.

Sheary is fast yo

He clearly couldn't hold a candle to Riley Sheahan,

 

[TheNorthPenguin]

I don't quite understand Marleau on the PK. He's playing all situations for some reason when we should really be trying to keep his mins down to make him as productive as possible. Especially given we have 5 other guys who can regularly PK.

 

[K Fleur]

Crosby/Zucker looking great this period.

 

[wheelz87]

Awesome shift by Zuck

Rangers are also 6-4 in their last 10 and have been playing some decent hockey for like a month now.

That makes sense. I'm going to miss that game, so of course it will be a 8-7 Pens win.

True. But, people are scared of the Caps for reasons unknown.

 

[ColePens]

YEahhhhhhh Horny is awesome. Weirdly Bjugs/Horny work well together.

 

[ColePens]

Another puck over JJ's stick.

 

[vodeni]

give JJ a break...

 

[wgknestrick]

E Rod looks like he drives a van with no windows.

The Capitals aren't playing good hockey. They haven't been for a while (and they weren't when we played them, which is why in hindsight I think maybe we read a little too much positive into that game being close).
