Post-Game Talk: | Pens vs Wild | win | We score 6 and we win, it’s science

[Zirakzigil]

Well, in spite of some horrific breakdowns, we won this one handily. Letang finally scored and Crosby showed up. Team really needs to clean up their play and Jarry has to be better.

What do we have 5 wins with Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell?

Stick with it Sully. Stick. With. It.

 

[dogthateats]

Handily?
I am 1-0 pretty effing good
We have same record as last season through 17 gp

Jarry was terrible but it's really hard to make any complaints beyond that.

I'm so glad that I was dead wrong about POJ sucking and not being able to play in the NHL. They really need to increase his responsibilities to make sure he can work in a top-4 role. Knowing POJ can work in a 2nd pair role with Petry really opens up the Penguins to moving on from Dumoulin and replacing him with Smith.

Not sure tonight was a bad win. should've been a 6-2 game if Jarry saves a couple who should've.

I like the lines. L3 is an issue. And honestly. I hate Heinen there the most.

 

[SEALBound]

You couldn't even script it like this.

Mike Sullivan should be fired.

Wouldja lookit that dontcha know

Midwest dorks don't deserve a team with those uniforms.

Remember when Gustavsson was a highly regarded goalie prospect? Dude's garbo.

 

[ncm7772]

Lots to not like, but they won.

4th line looked good and the PK is looking not-as-abysmal.

My review of this game:

 

[SomeDude]

I was just thinking at least Hextall didn’t give Jarry a big contract. Then I realized he’s gonna pull some **** like bail Florida out of the Bobrovsky contract.

Anyways, Crosby is back.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yes, we do need GCRak.
And no, we shouldn't prioritize Malkin over the team.

 

[Turin]

Better hope Jarry is still injured. Awful

 

[AjaxTelamon]

Swap Rust and Rakell, we win. Now Geno's line was a big minus. Hmmmm.

To be fair, he got developed by Ottawa.

He's also been relatively good for Minnesota this year.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Swap Rust and Rakell, we win. Now Geno's line was a big minus. Hmmmm.

But it results in a win. So you take it, even if it happens 20 more times.

 

[Jobeycool]

Got to get the cruddy defense out with drafting and better goalies.... thought we made improvements guess not..

Knowing POJ can work in a 2nd pair role with Petry really opens up the Penguins to moving on from Dumoulin and replacing him with Smith.

I think @Gurglesons hit the nail on the head by saying he looks like a young Dumoulin. He really does right now. Less thick/strong but the same combination of size, skating, and defensive conscience. If he fills out the frame he could be a keeper. I know that's said about every young player ever but I like him.

I'll also give myself a slight pat on the back by saying earlier in the season that I always liked POJ and I was glad the Pens didn't give him away for nothing. I've always thought there's a skill set there and it's just a matter of him figuring out NHL speed.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Super genius Mike Sullivan switched up the top-6 lines and the team scored 6 goals.

I'd like all of you assholes to line up and grovel for his forgiveness.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

If Jarry is that hurt, why is he still playing?

In any case, while not all the points were as a line it's amazing that Crosby and Jake start producing when they have a competent winger on their line.

Hopefully Sullivan sticks with that line for more than 1 game.

Hmm before Jarry decided to implode for 2 goals in 13 seconds the team looked in control.

My issue there is, Jarry implodes at the important time of the year and its all over(which he's done before). Really starting to prove he's not a long term solution.

Rust is now hurting Geno's line dispite Zuckers efforts.
