Post-Game Talk: |Pens vs Jets| win | Jetting off with 2 points

[metalan2]

I went from hating Zucker to him being one of my favorite Penguins. Like I loathed Zucker.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I treated myself to a 3rd period nap....

Great win boys.... Zuckers goal is all that was needed and congrats to a fine well earned shutout, Jarry.

 

[SomeDude]

It’s all one endless time loop, didn’t you know? We all were here in 1967 just as different people and we were saying the same things then too lol

It's true, here's a photo from our last board meet up

 

[Turin]

Guys who stood out to me as having good games live:

Geno
Zucker
POJ
Sid (wasn’t awesome just good)
McGinn/Blueger
POJ
Pettersson
Jarry (despite flailing around and looking shaky he did the job)

Guys who weren’t very good or somewhat disappointing to my eye:

Guentzel
Rust
Rakell
Heinen

Both Letang and Dumo weren’t very good again but not horrid.

PP still hurting the team badly. It’s so awful it’s hard to fathom. How has Zucker not completely earned PP1 time? Best winger on the team.

Son of a bitch. The Hawks used Mrazek (.897) today. We'll get Soderblom (.918).

If we really have to be worried what goalie the Chicago Blackhawks are trotting out against us, then we are legitimately in trouble.

He has been the total package. Crash bang, speed, skill, battle and vision/confidence he hasn't shown before. He has an argument as our best overall player year-to-date.

Captain Entangibles will lead them to victory! Or Kane will assault our cab drivers so we cant leave.

 

[dogthateats]

Islanders are losing now too.

4-2 now

Sam Lafferty 4 point night incoming. The board will put into a medically induced coma for our own protection.

 

[Andy99]

I’m just happy we won and the Caps lost lol…I harbor no hopes of catching NJD, the Isles or the Canes lol

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Finally a shutout.

One stop closer to the goal of "winning the right way".

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

4-2 now

Isles lose.....

Need the Wild to tie it up. Losing to the Canes 1-0, 3:30 left

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Forgot to mention, Ryan Phoeling was an absolute monster backchecking tonight. I counted three times where he came back out of nowhere to disrupt a good chance.

Isles lose.....

Need the Wild to tie it up. Losing to the Canes 1-0, 3:30 left

Steel ties it with 2:40 left

Going to OT

Cmon Kaprisov. End this in OT

GOLO wins it for the Wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Just awful, embarrassing

Speaking of L3, I think it’s time to move Carter to wing…why not reinsert Poehling at center…

McGinn-Poehling-Carter
Heinen-Blue-Archi

Agree with the wing for Carter. Is Poehling better at wing or center? I would switch centers in your lines, but Teddy’s the 4C to Sully.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Great win tonight for the pens. Now keep up the momentum against the Blackhawks.

Hopefully they don't shit on them... The shit-clock is ticking....

Who?

Big. Dirty.... Shit-hawks..... They're coming, boys... They're flying in low.. They're swooping down, shitting on people! And dragging people off to the big shit nest.

 

[Tender Rip]

Forgot to mention, Ryan Phoeling was an absolute monster backchecking tonight. I counted three times where he came back out of nowhere to disrupt a good chance.

He’s a good player. Put McGinn with him and Blue and make it our 3rd.
Softer shifts and opposition for JC would be good.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

If we really have to be worried what goalie the Chicago Blackhawks are trotting out against us, then we are legitimately in trouble.

We haven't won in Chicago since Feb. 27th, 2009.
8 straight losses, by a combined score of 36-12.

So yes, I'm looking for any edge.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Who had "Pens win with a shutout" on their bingo card for tonight's game?

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Flyers lost
Canes lost
Isles lost
Caps lost
Panthers lost

Would be nice to see the Sharks upset the Rags

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I still think it's hilarious that we're in "we *need* this to happen" and we're scoreboard watching in mid-November.

 

[Gurglesons]

Petry also had a hell of a game based on his results. 1 assist, +3, 72.82% xGF% at 5v5 and playing 22:15 in total.

He has had his highs and lows on the year overall, but his overall stat line looks super solid this year. He's at 8 points in 18 games, is a +4, is averaging 3 hits and 2 blocked shots per game, has good analytics (roughly at a 55% xGF% and +1% xGF%rel) and is playing about 21:40 a night against tough competition. I want to see him smooth it out a bit from "this guy looks like a #1D" and "this guy sucks", but he's overall been extremely good in the 2nd pair role statistically.



Agree entirely. I think Sullivan has been overusing Crosby's line for a while, especially when Rust was there.

Petry sucking mostly coincides with him dragging Dumo around.

Flyers lost
Canes lost

Need the Sharks to upset the Rags

As someone who watches the Sharks, don’t hold your breath lol

Ever since Hellebyuck became their starter seems to be the way it goes in these games.
