+Jarry
+Friedman
+Matheson
+++Boyle

Boyle is a guy you rally around and go on a run. Love him so much.

Boyle has been solid all year.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Things to celebrate: Letang-Math, Marino, Geno played pretty good, Boyle was outstanding

Things to kvetch about: PP1 zone entries

 

[ChaosAgent]

Boyle has been soiled all year.

[Turin]

Probably a top 3 team in the league, I’ll take the win. Once again less than 3 goals against. Pens almost a top 3 defense in the league.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Boyle has been soiled all year.

At his age, that's not uncommon.

You fast

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Glad to see we beat those Jerks

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m surprised the Canes didn’t run Andersen against us once this year.

 

[vodeni]

well we have a good goalie, thats a plus..
four attempted shots in the third, 2 on the goal (ES), luckily Canes were tired from the last night, otherwise we would not even have those 2..

othere than that nothing to complain about...

 

[Ryder71]

I personally think in a 7 game series they are probably the team in the East nobody wants to play. Also missing their best D-man

We're missing some key pieces ourselves. MP, McGinn and Zucker.

I'm not afraid of him, The Canes yeah, but not FA.

 

[vodeni]

Malkin's line didn't get a shift in the final seven minutes of the game (Rodrigues was out there for the very last faceoff with Boyle and Crosby with 12 seconds left).

It came after an extended shift.

Something to watch for with Geno.

yeah, zero trust in Geno, in the game when all the lines (other than 4th) were completely outshot and outskated,,,

 

[Ryder71]

They are not catching them, they have a 5 RW lead with a game in hand.

The Pens would need to win 4 games like this in the playoffs. They need some depth still to have a better chance.

We'll get some before the deadline, don't worry.

they got outshot 20-5 in the third period against a team playing on a b2b aand could only manage 2 goals against the Canes backup…our issues are still our issues…we’re going to have to bring another level of play,or play a different system, if we want to beat these guys in a 7 game series…

Agreed 100%, but I am also in the camp that we are a tough out as well............. many aren't.

East is going to be a dogfight

 

[Ryder71]

they got outshot 20-5 in the third period against a team playing on a b2b a d could only manage 2 goals against the Canes backup…our issues are still our issues…we’re going to have to bring another level or play a different system if we want to beat these guys in a 7 game series…

UH Yeah! No kidding. lol

 

[DesertedPenguin]

he and ERod had the second most minutes in the game next to L1 forwards…not sure what you’re suggesting. He was out there while Carolina was dominating our zone in the last 5-6 minutes of the game and Jarry was continually holding onto pucks. ERod iced it and I remember he had to stay out there and he and ERod switched places so ERod would take the FO. Also Trocheck won a FO against Geno at 18:50 so he was out there

The Trocheck/Malkin faceoff was in the FIRST period. Not the third. Check again.

I'm not suggesting Malkin/Rodrigues/Heinen were bad. I'm suggesting Geno left the ice once in the game and went down to the locker room quickly. He also had a Cane fall on his legs behind the net midway through the game.

And he did not have a shift in the final seven minutes, which is eyebrow raising.

I’m not either, but just seems weird. Didn’t the Isles do the same thing with Lehner in 2019?

I'm not so sure we'll be a tough out. But if we are I'll blame you!

These guys are pros, they brought their best. If they were all 35 year olds than ya a B2B might be a different story. I wouldn't jump on that B2B excuse too much.

Young team with legs that just kept coming

 

[Ryder71]

They played B2B on a couple of those occasions when playing us so I can see that.

each line, 1st, 4th and 3rd had at least 3 shifts while the second line never got back on ice

 

[jmelm]

Alright you miserable people, what are we going to complain about today?

Kapanen

 

[Darren McCord]

I personally think in a 7 game series they are probably the team in the East nobody wants to play. Also missing their best D-man

Maybe best offensive dmen but he is not better than Slavin or Pesece. No way

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Kapanen

Kapanen didn't have a bad game, he just didn't score. Ill take Bourque's word over @jmelm, but I understand the pile on
