Now I know how the other teams fans felt when 87 and 71 shared the ice together in their heydays. It’s not fun.

 

[Bishop7979]

Stuart Skinner has the hold the NHL record for goals allowed on the first shot in a game...

Penguin fans present you with Tristan Jarry, and it's not even close.

 

[vodeni]

They are skating to the puck, skating hard, good things happen

 

[IcedCapp]

Goalie interference a bit?

What a very sexually unappealing format and color scheme this site now has...

Spending time with you folks is arousing enough as is, why risk too much of a good thing by actually having a pleasant-looking UI

 

[canadianguy77]

If they win this (still a big "if") .625 in January is pretty respectable.

Looks like a very different team than last year over the last 6 or so weeks. I don’t know why though.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Kunitz Mario Phil woulda been a cool line.

That line would have 3 50 goal scorers guaranteed.

 

[vodeni]

Best period of the season, not just goals, effort, pressure

 

[BHD]

Now, let's see them hold onto this lead

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Rust 16g 16a in this his 36th game. No worse than last year.

Ayyy we have 6 "likes" now.

Started with the core minute eating D-men playing way better. It stabilized everything.

I think Pickering really helped stabilize the d corps too.

Can’t watch and of course they turn in a great period…amazing…I’m still expecting the Oil to tie this up lol…but they must have come out underestimating us…they didn’t realize a) Jarry wasn’t playing and 2) we only suck with the lead in the third period…

That team hates playing a tight checking game. Reminds me of our team back when Sid and Geno ruled the league.

 

[Dessloch]

2 points for sid so the third period choke will have some of the sting taken out

Crosbys best play was the assist on the 1st goal he never was credited with. There is no evidence from the video footage Rust touched that puck so I have no idea why Sid was not credited with an assist on that play! Should be 3 assists in the 1st period!

Pens PR team should work to get that one corrected - as the league loves remove assists from Sid or not give them, so it should be changed just the same this time!

Karlsson especially has been amazing the last six weeks. He was good last year but the past 6 weeks Karlsson was the one I was expecting when we got him.

But still the rest of the team is so up and down (mostly down) I doubt this is a playoff team. It's a shame they're so old because they would destroy the league if they were together circa 2017.

 

[canadianguy77]

Next on the all time points list is the big guy. But it’s going to be a while. 80 more points for Sid to tie 66.

Imagine without Steckel Sid would be 160 + points up the list really making a dent towards Jagr! But hey, I just rewatch that 40-50 minute presser when they ask Sid if he might never play hockey again, it could have been over 10 years ago.

If they do miss the playoffs, age is not gonna be one of the main reasons imo.

 

[Pens1566]

Great, a 3 goal lead.

Curious what you mean. This team cruises to a high seed if the big 4 were 8 years younger.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I had to stop and reread some of the messages here from certain posters. An entire page of positive comments is something that I don’t believe happened so far this year.

 

[canadianguy77]

Bourqie sounds fired up tonight.

I wish we had 2 more copies of Pickering. Dude is going to be a sick shutdown player as he matures.

 

[The Old Master]

Bourqie sounds fired up tonight.

first time in a while he doesn't need to make up a bunch of excuse's

 

[Zirakzigil]

Signed in at work and saw the score, assumed we were losing. What a nice surprise.

 

[Killahpunk]

Captain!
