Not overly excited about allowing 40 shots again, but I imagine that at least some of it was score effects.
Keeping opponents to two goals or fewer will be important, so it's good that that happened.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

That reallllllly looks like a goal.

Paralexx effect.

Don't get the complaints re DST. You would prefer the sun to come up at 4:30AM and go down at 7:30PM in the summer?

Then keep it the same time come fall. It's stupid nonsense

I mean this Is quite an exaggeration.

There is quite a few problems that daylightsavings time does a quick Google search will show the pros and cons.

I just see all the cons and barely feel like I am missing any of the pros.

Didn't have to lose an hour of sleep and disrupt my sleeping pattern. The increase of heart attack chance is not there etc. To name a couple.

Sunrise Time, Sunset Time June 21, 2022

Sunrise Time, Sunset Time June 21, 2022. When is sunrise, sunset times for June 21, 2022? What time is sunrise June 21, 2022? What time is sunset June 21, 2022?

Quite an exaggeration? Sunrise 550AM, sunset 855PM DST. So if we didn't change clock, sunrise would be 450 and sunset 755.

I don't know about you but I am a big fan of sun well into summer nights. We're such a nation of whiners.

Got severely out shot by an exhausted team that couldn't finish and blokes here will just focus on the win, not how.

Carry on.

HDCF and Against were pretty equal until we took the 2 - 0 lead. Looked like a playoff win to me.

Btw - Geno looked fast yesterday. He was so noticeable. I like that.

Fast and frustrated. Cant see him happy with who hes playing with.

Little deceptive since the Canes take a ton of low percentage shots from the point. A lot of easy freezes for Jarry.
I'm more concerned about the high danger count being heavily in their favor. Definitely outplayed us. We backchecked super well though.

Sometimes you get outplayed yet win.
Sometimes you outplay the other guy and lose.

Alert the media.

At what point is it Geno and not whoever he's paired with? Not being a wise guy, serious question.

I wish someone would alert Sully that he's not gotten past the 1st round 3 times in a row

CGR 4lyfe!

With his linemates lately, I cant blame him. Kap has been invisible when playing, eRod fell out of orbit and crash landed and everyone else rotated in has been meh. Puus had a good game but was turfed for Kap last game.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

It's a legit question

But when given appropriate linemates, Geno has produced. Witness the Jake-Geno- Rust thing a couple seasons ago.

Like it or lump it, this franchise has always catered to it's generational C's. Crosby though tends to get first pick of the litter. Geno gets the runts- it's been that way for about 10 seasons now

in my book this was our worst outing against Canes this season, yet we won, and lost previous two...all the games were similar (the second and third were pretty much the same). I am not worried about their defense shooting everything from everywhere, if we get guys that can actually score with a decent chance, we would win 4 out of 7 against these guys...and practice PP against highly agressive PK

Its not about who gets what, its about having that 1, 2,3 punch...Geno got two first round pick trades on his flank (Zucker Kappy)...you should be able to build a dinamite line out of three first pick players...well that did not go well as planned...onto Plan B now..

Well yea it is about who gets what. It's obvious Crosby has been 1A

The coach has catered to him and by proxy has loaded up L1 at the expense of the rest of the lines

HDCFs:

1st game: 14-12 Pens
2nd game: 16-14 Canes
3rd game: 16-8 Canes

We hung in there well for the first 2 games.
A standout to me is that in games 2 and 3 Carolina was coming in tired, and us rested. In game #1 both were tired.
Maybe it doesn't matter as much as we thought. Pens have handled 2nd of B2B's quite well this year.

I agree the PP is a massive swing factor in a potential series. They make zone entries harder than anyone in the league. Pens have been shooting themselves in the foot with shit passing even after getting entry. It's the #1 PK of course, but the Pens have shown they're better than that.
In fact the passing has been sub-standard in all 3 games, even on simple plays that have nothing to do with Carolina's pressure. I don't know if it's the stress of playing a top team or what, but they gotta figure it out.

I think Carolina's heavily favoured in a series, since every core area of their game is stronger on average. However when the Pens bring their best they overwhelm opponents by outworking them in the O-zone, with and without the puck. They can beat any opponent like that.
Expecting them to bring their A+ game for a majority of a series is a huge ask though. Not very realistic.

Would be a competitive series. I believe in Jarry this year and don't think that will be a problem again.

in Game 2, we were the tired one…we played them on a b2b at their place

Only supports my point. Guess it's more about motivation for a tough opponent than exhaustion.

Also, that seems like the puck on it's way back out, the screenshot should be when it hit the pad, and that's when it was over the line.

Great to see your old avatar.
