Teams that win the Cup are teams that are playing really well and putting up points in January thru March...that’s not the Pens, who are going in the opposite direction...the Rangers and Flyers are playing miles better than the Caps and Pens rn and I wouldn’t be surprised to see first round exits for them both...if the Pens don’t get started playing faster, PO defense very soon now, it will be too late to get rolling with some mojo into the POs...if I was JR I wouldn’t be spending any more assets to improve this team..

Zucker scores goals. Zucker is good. The Pens needed him. They didn’t need just him, but with all the injuries they were always multiple moves away.

Good thing it’s not March yet and they still have time. Caps played terribly all year at ES until after the deadline the year they won.

So what? That’s one team, who could have easily lost to Dallas or Boston. You just need to be in a range of competence.

If they'd just give Tanev a shot with Sid and Zucker, we'd likely see what he brings. Three guys who can skate, are good in the corners, can cycle the puck and score some goals.
But for some reason, the coaching staff seem more concerned with a 3rd line that can defend rather than a 1st line that can score goals and control play on a regular basis.
I don't understand it.

For Jarry:
Unfortunately the last two games emphasize the need for depth and good team defense. Goaltenders matter very little when those things suck.
God speed tomorrow MM...I already await the Ovi 700 on the PP, shot right over Murray's glovehand...just seems like our luck at the moment. So let the predictions begin on how Ovi reaches another milestone thanks to the Pens!

The Old Master
come and take it.
when you are looking for an excuse you will always find one. even with the one bad sift last game, he's been better than at-least two other players we don't seem to ever bench.

Kase would have been able to do that and more. I get that it's a gamble with his history of injury, but it was a gamble worth taking.

We're just keeping afloat withot Dumo and Marino. JJ is negativly impacting Letang and neither of Pettersson and Schultz are 2nd pairing guys. This means we are spreading 3 bottom pairing gys to the 1st and 2nd pair. It's going to have an impact.
I will feel much safer with a Dumo-Letang and Pettersson-Marino with a JJ and whatever 3rd pair. Schultz I wouldn't notice if he was gone tomorrow though.

Looking back at the last 2 games, I just wish Sullivan stuck to his rotation a little better. I like that both goalies can be rotated and relied upon, but I would have went...
Jarry again in Toronto, weird to not give the guy that won the first one, the 2nd one in a home and home. Andersen got the opportunity to rebound after his loss, Jarry should have had the chance to repeat his performance. Not a slight to Murray.
Given Murray both the Sabres & Caps game, he's great against Washington, he's earned a back 2 back as well.
I wouldn't have taken out Riikola for Trotman, Ruhwedel is the one that deserved to sit.
McCann not at C is still a thing I am not a fan of.
