ERod could teach McD how to properly clap bombs from the slot. No doubt he's head and shoulders ahead of him in that category.

Oil’s D is so bad that their fans consider Ceci’s absence a big problem…

Oilers fan coming in peace, just thought I'd clarify that the reason it's a big problem is that all 3 LD are also hurt (Nurse, Keith, Koekkoek). But yeah, Ceci's been surprisingly good for us. I thought he was decent for you guys last year?

Anyways, this is always a fun matchup. Good luck, and may the best team win!

Ceci had a solid couple months than completely unraveled in the playoffs and was easily our worse D. Anyways, he’s cool. We are fine with Ceci and he’s an example of xGF% being wack.

Who is the bigger rivalry to Pens? Caps or Flyers?
Imo strictly hockey wise it's the caps. Overall though flyers due to fans/region. Flyers and pens haven't really been good at the same time very often. When they are it gets crazy (see 2012).

Idk I think Caps fans are 100x worse than Flyers fans. I've met quite a few Flyers fans I like. I'm 0 for all of them with Caps fans. Caps definitely feel like the bigger strictly hockey opponent, but it's close. I think in the Sid/Geno era the Isles have eliminated the Pens more than the Flyers or Caps have.

Draisaitl (10) has more PPG than the Pens (9).

I mean, we have four of our six starting defenceman out with injury or COVID related.

Nurse
Keith
Ceci
Koekkoek

All missing. Our defence has been truly decimated ... possibly worse than any other group I've seen in my memory.

Russell-Barrie
Broberg-Niemelainen
Lagesson-Bouchard

I have literally never seen a worse group of defencemen. Russell, Broberg, Niemelainen, and Lagesson should not be in the NHL right now. Barrie was playing small minutes on our third pairing before these injuries. Bouchard has been great admittedly, but he has something like 20 NHL games to his name. He is far-and-away the most capable player in our group back there now.

Broberg has looked impressive by the eye test as well. I fear Crosby and co are going to run rampant on these poor bastards tonight. Good luck.
At one point last season, I believe the Pens were down 5 of their top 7 defenseman.

Sid doesn’t sound the least excited to be playing McDavid and Drai despite his words to the contrary lol…
