UPL big boy game. If he actually owns the Pens that's a fun twist. Also like that he got a little loose but was able to recognize and correct it in-game.
Every line struggled in D zone, but I liked the Mitts line overall. Mitts is a rock. Greenway burns his legs to contest routine stuff all the time. Benson still playing so solid that it's getting routine.
Pens hitting at least three posts, two goals overturned. A month of this team's luck in one game.
I liked some individual stuff from Tuch, Quinn, and JJ
Random 4th like goal to send a crowd of Saturday night yinzers home bummed is *chefs kiss*
I thought Rayzor had a good game

B
Didn't really like Tage's game at all
Or Dahlin's or Power's
Didn't really like Cozens game
Our shooting just isn't good this year. Now it's everything high.

Six game homestand: two gotta haves (SJ, CHI), two division games (OTT, TB), and two Western challenges (SEA, VAN). Fair to think that the next two weeks are the season, or at least their chance to salvage it. Gotta have 10 of 12 points, 16 of 20 counting the last four games.

The season is over.

The Pens board is so salty it has a surgeon general's warning for hypertension.

Good:
Donny G. 3 for 3 on 2024 coaches challenges.
"Zegmus" with a Ted Nolan special.
Lukkonnen.

Bad:
Crysby with an o-zone penalty.
Should the Pens delay of game have been called - it looked like it was deflected. (???)

Ugly:
Something like 15 shots allowed by BUF in the 1st. Gotta tighten that up like kegel exercises for incontinence.

Good win. Finally a two game winning streak.

Now, we have 6 straight home games over the next two weeks. The team REALLY needs to take advantage of that and get back into some sort of playoff shape.

Yeah, that delay of game went off Dahlin's stick. It was a rough night for the stripes, but this is nothing new for NHL officiating.

Good:

> An absolute steal by UPL.
> Nice to see some calls and puck luck go our way for a change.
> A regulation win in a game where they all played hard, but certainly didn't deserve to win.

Bad:

> Got hemmed in our own zone way too much. Can you clear now? Nope. How about now? Uh-uh. Grrrrrrr.
> Tired of the ongoing brain-farts by Tage and Cozens. Not what you want from team leaders.

Ugly:

> Sully, why you hef to be mad? Is just a game.

I just rewatched the sportnets highlights on youtube and there are Pens fans flooding the comments saying shit like "ThE nHl DoEsN't WaNt CrOsBy To WiN aNoThEr CuP"

Unf***ing believable...
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but whenever I see stuff like that I just assume 95% have never even been on skates.

The Good -

- Luuu on breakaways? Yep, Luu on breakaway.
- PKing was good even if they gave up a 5-on-3 against. Then again, the Pens PP is worse than Buffalo's.
- Fourth line key shift for the 2nd goal.
- Benson-Mitts-Greenway had a strong game.
- Review calls going their way? Yep.
- Robinson should be in the lineup.
- Johnson stinging Malkin in the slot late in the game.

The Bad

- The five-on-three was death-and-taxes predictable.
- Murdering the glass.

The Ugly

- Sid crying.
Yes. Robinson SHOULD be in the lineup!
