GDT: #32|Pens vs. Devils|Mar. 21 2021 1:00PM EST|Homeland Defense

[ColePens]

Jarry was A++++

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Great defensive shift by Sid to close the period.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

We need to keep picking up 2 pts when we are playing these weaker teams like the Devils and Sabres. Bank some points and hopefully the injury situation will improve.

Kind of tough when your missing at least 3 guys in the top 9 , add to the fact that hockey is such a tough sport that any team can take it any night.

But I do get your point

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I feel like the refs aren't calling anything for us right now

 

[Gurglesons]

That backcheck by Sid. Wow.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Sid with the glove save.

His hand-eye is preposterous. The only guy from another sport I can compare it to is Curry.

Edit: or Larry Fitz. But Larry Fitz is paid to catch stuff.

 

[ColePens]

I wanna talk just for a second about playing fast vs. being fast.

Laff is fast but he can't play at his speed. His mind isn't on the same level and his hands aren't either. Kap is an example of a guy who mixes his speeds up and his mind/hands play at his elite speed. McDavid/Sid are the ultimate examples of guys who play at elite pace and their minds are still in slow motion even at top speed.

So when we say we want players who play fast, I don't care about their foot speed per sey. I want to see them play at a fast pace with their mind/hands.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The puck dropped at 1:08 PM. The period ended at 1:37 PM

That was quick af.

 

[Beau Knows]

Line 1 playing inspired hockey today. They've looked so mechanical and uninterested for much of the season. Keep playing like this and the top 6 should be deadly with a healthy Malkin.

Dude that guy may have the GOAT hand-eye. It's not human.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Dude that guy may have the GOAT hand-eye. It's not human.

GOAT hand-eye and GOAT backhand.

That's two pretty big attributes at GOAT level.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

That being said, I’d like to see Lafferty on L2 for a shift or 2.

 

[chethejet]

Well OK good period and 1 goal lead. But the Pens need to limit the turnovers and being to aggressive in entering the zone anticipating a play to be made. Pens got lucky there with doing that so that has to be corrected. Jarry positioning was very good and Pens right side D is as good as it gets with Marino looking much better. Just so so with McCann. He looks like he can be a difference maker but just doesn't have the instincts needed to make that extra play.

 

[Gurglesons]

Gotta call out Pettersson for a great period.

 

[ownal]

Totally played through the last commercial. Sid has his wheels back. I can't believe I doubted him earlier this season.

 

[Pens x]

Neither Lafferty or Jankowski bring the intensity that is needed for the fourth line. How can our staff just watch them sashay around

That’s also on management though for not promoting guys from WBS. Sully had made it clear he is going to play these clowns, so maybe the GM should step in?

 

[Gurglesons]

Why the f*** would you want to see that?

 

[ownal]

Gotta call out Pettersson for a great period.

What about his bad pass behind the goal to the middle of the ice? Almost cost us a goal.

 

[The Sodfather]

Sid deserved that puck luck goal, he hasn't got much of it this year.

 

[Ugene Magic]

They might as well have been sitting on the bench. Waaaay too much space for the Devils

Yeah, but it was created by a lot pinball action in the neutral zone. Like multiple turnovers in succession by both teams.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Why the f*** would you want to see that?

i want to see if playing with better line mates would make a difference. I mean it’s only for a couple of shifts.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Gotta call out Pettersson for a great period.

Why? Because he didnt get scored on or take a penalty? lol

 

[Gurglesons]

i want to see if playing with better line mates would make a difference. I mean it’s only for a couple of shifts.

It won’t. He is so low IQ it is ridiculous. He also has like 2 points in his last 60 games.

 

[The Sodfather]

Why? Because he didnt get scored on or take a penalty? lol

I also thought he played pretty well for what he is, one bad TO aside.

 

[ownal]

Is Jarry really 39-1 at home? Did Bob really say that?
