Surprised Sully started Blom. Kid deserves it though.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Tbh, he should be on the third pair lol

The issue is the team doesn’t have the right pairings to make that work unless you pair Letang with Graves, lol.

 

[Malkinstheman]

The boys have some jump to their game atleast

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Thumbs down @The Old Master ? The National Anthems suck. All of them. It shouldn’t be in sports anymore.

Surprised Sully started Blom. Kid deserves it though.

The least shocking thing Sullivan could do honestly, Blom earned the game, Jarry he won’t give a chance to rebound until it’s necessary. I hope Jars gets reps in with the goalie coach and maybe even a sports therapist, feel for the lad.

In any case, a great chance for Blom to keep proving his worth, we all hoped he’d get games and he is.

Don't worry once the first adjustment happens it will be over for Sully to adapt.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Quick reminder, this is not a Leafs powerplay, Pens are just mentally short handed.

 

[canadianguy77]

Dont understand why doc doesn’t change there.

 

[Pancakes]

Tbh, he should be on the third pair lol

I wouldn't go that far but he's having a rough start

 

[Gumbercules]

NIce 90 seconds of zone time for the leafs because Graves fell down for no reason with an easy lane to clear the zone.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Rutty McGoat had a lazy clear, Sullivan is now going to bench him for long periods.

 

[Pancakes]

Is this ice bad there tonight or something? Graves falling down is not surprising but I saw EK blow a tire and a few players on both sides fall down so far

 

[Honour Over Glory]

NIce 90 seconds of zone time for the leafs because Graves fell down for no reason with an easy lane to clear the zone.

Multiple players had chances to clear and just didn’t, it was a team effort of ineptitude. Which really, is just executing Sullivan’s brilliant system with his legendary adjustments.

 

[eXile3]

4th line actually doesn’t look bad.

I have a huge pet peeve about players staying on the ice when their stick breaks. Just go get another stick. You're so friggin useless without one.

I know it creates more ice for the offensive team when you do that but how many times have we seen a player with no stick getting scored on anyways because they just stay out there like a cone?

Boy, I do love the early-season illusion of meaning.

I mean their bench was right there... why he doesn't change is inconceivable

 

[Malkinstheman]

EK being very assertive. Love to see it

 

[eXile3]

Watching Letang in his own end is painful.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

4th line actually doesn’t look bad.

It’s a stacked 4th line, it’d be hard for them to look bad really, Glass is better at C and I am glad he’s there vs wing and Hayes on LW is insane overkill which is whatever with Acciari.

 

[FlyingPenguin]

Karlsson looks really good. Really nice to see after the whole missed camp thing.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I feel like Doc could have scored there if the Leafs player didn’t get his stick there just in time to slow down the shot.

Did the Pens equipment manager forget to sharpen the skates?

 

[tom_servo]

Wearing #72 is fine. Wearing #72 on Crosby's wing should not be allowed.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Benoit looks like a shitty Alfredsson impersonator.

Lol yeah guys falling all over the place. Must be bad ice there though I've seen some Leafs players falling too.

Maybe it's been unseasonably warm there I haven't been tracking Toronto weather so idk
