is being used as PP1 in practice

Not perfect but I'm intrigued to see Sid as net front and Malkin on right wall.
Sorry Rusty. Shouldn't have sucked.

not perfect is a stretch...its a joke to have two dman on PP, good teams now have all five forwards on, I assume now Petry is to be on the top and Tanger on the left wall, can't wait to see puck go around until its intercepted...somebody is paying these coaches to come up with this shit?

It's really dumb and a throwback to like the 80s, I agree. But at least Rust got the ol hook and Malkin, Guentzel and Sid are all approximately where they SHOULD be.

Won't matter because their lame attempts at long-ranged forced drop passes on entry will sink them. It's like they are trying to do a crappy Wish version of what Detroit used to do with Zetts/Dats on their entries.

Rust's been demoted from L1 and PP1 and they are 20 games in. Hopefully this will wake him up and back to playing more hard working style. Limited minutes should keep him more fresh also.

I think we'll have better screens, deflections, rebound chances and more quality shots from the right side.
I'd like Rakell to replace Jake, but otherwise I'm ok with trying this.
Petry at least brings a directness. I'm fine with him getting his chance to help PP1 here.

That guy was money with Malkin/Crosby in the regular season.


Playoffs? yikes.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Surely there's no way Huberdeau breaks out of his dogshit season thus far against the Pens, right?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It would be nice if we could light up Markstrom. Every other NHL team seems to.

This is kind of a cool infographic

If Rust doesn’t have a decent game tonight, it’s time to move him down to l3 or l4 for a bit. There’s no good reason why Geno and Zucker should have to wear themselves out trying to make up for his play.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'd flip Heinen and Poehling. Give Poehling a bit of a more offensive role and increase his minutes, and Heinen's hot dookie.

Also hope Letang and Rust round a corner sooner than later. They're both aggravating as f*** to watch.

Nah TB needs something. They have been playing well too. Heinen would look way worse on line 4. He should either be on line 3 or out of the line up.

I really like Petry on PP1. Don’t care that Montreal claimed he was trash on the PP, we have way too much skill for our PP to be so bad.

I think adding a guy that’ll just rip pucks on net and make the easy pass will do wonders.

Unfortunately, Sullivan will never do that. That I know for sure.

Petry was put on pp1 in practice

 

[Beau Knows]

Feels like every game the Penguins have played lately has had a ceremony beforehand. If all for this one though

Could be wrong, but I thought that’s what they were running on PP1 with Rust getting the boot.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Go Pens!

 

[vodeni]

as a non season ticket holder, this is too much for me

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Go Geno!

 

[Daeni10]

f*** I will miss them so much

 

[Pancakes]

Geno rules. So glad he's reached this number in a Pens uni. Whatever comes next, I'll always appreciate that.

Letang is on pace to hit 1000gp this year too, if he doesn't get hurt.

 

[vodeni]

This was really nice
