Not a great game, got a bunch of players recovering from illness and this was the first full game the second line has played all year. Still aren't healthy.
We need to rest Jarry more and get healthy.
I'd like to see more shots on net and less passing. This team can really pass but we're overdoing it 5v5.
That said, some people really lost their minds in the GDT. Every single puck that goes the other way you're dumping on the team like changes of possession don't happen 5 times a shift. Every single puck that goes the other way that Malkin was involved in, especially if it results in a goal, and people are shitting on Geno and wanting him benched or not re-signed or Hair Guy posting his BS about Evgeni Minus. There was nothing wrong with his decision to play it back to the point there, it was bad luck that a Cap got a stick on it at the last second and Ruh was flatfooted. But go off.
Then we're saying he's mentally weak for reacting to a two-handed slash from Tom Wilson? The criticism this guy gets is so far beyond normal and appropriate I almost wish he walks so I don't have to read any more bullshit about it.
The team will be fine, we're going to win the first round, after that it'll depend on Jarry, the stars, and Sullivan removing his head from his fourth point of contact. I like the lines for the first time all year.
