This will be Pittsburgh's third game since the All-star break, and our first game in ten days. We are going to get worked over hard...
I haven't checked the stats, but I'm pretty sure this is our longest stretch without a loss all season
This break has been far too long. In general, our schedule this year has been frighteningly stupid.
That's true. It still needs to be said that the frequent breaks and back-to-backs has been ridiculous. Im curious to see how we respond coming off the break.Maybe a long break would be good to heal up from injuries and refresh mentally, especially for some young guys.
This long break can't do any further damage, possibly. We already dead last in standings

So accurate.. I don't think I've ever heard a coach at any level of any sport conjure up nonsense the way Boucher does. He's either delusional or arrogant; maybe some combination of both.Period 1 - Still on snooze
Period 2 - Try hard mode but make a few mental mistakes that cost us
Period 3 - Try to attempt a comeback but still fall well short
Boucher - Given our first game back from a long break, we played well. The guys are improving. They are the 2 times stanley cup winner and have the best 2 players in the world, but we were right in it... if you take the first 2 periods and umm we could've won the game... if we just scored 3 more goals

What’s with this break did they forgot to pay the schedule guy or something

Are you talking about the Mandated Break?
The decision to grant a bye week was part of negotiations during the 2016-17 season, with the NHLPA regarding the new All-Star Game format.

I wonder if the NHL compensates financially the teams that have the toughest schedules. And I'll let you speculate on the ramifications of this for Melnyk if it's true.We’ve been in top 3 in back to backs and top 5 in back go back against rested team the last 2 years...
